As a residence RA/Don, we just had our first day of move in and orientation activities.

I'm going into 4th year and just discussing with our staff, we made a general blanket statement regarding the culture of the 1st year students...

When we entered, yes drinking was very much apart of the experience for students who chose to partake but no where near to the extent to what we are observing now...

Also, everyone is always whipping our the iPhone, BlackBerry's, phones and are texting non-stop.

Just a thought but I can definitely see a culture shift in my past 4 years to partying harder, mindset and priorities and technological use. I understand it is a broad statement but on the whole is what I am seeing.

Any thoughts? Maybe it's just my campus or maybe I'm just crazy.
