Students demand trigger warning

I hiked a trail in Ithaca that went from downtown to the Cornell campus. There was a bridge over the canyon with netting all around. Clearly people had jumped off the bridge to their death. It was quite a sad reminder of the stress students were feeling.

When I first started working full time after graduating High School, I was stressed, did I have the right stuff to make it in the world? Actually I learned much of the coping behaviors I needed during those first years on the job. Ears open, mouth shut, do your best and acknowledge your failures. Stick to the truth, treat everyone with kindness and keep on growing.

I had learned in elementary school that sticks and stones could break my bones, but words could never hurt me.

Glad that college did something right for once.

I had to take a dumb class in University about stress management. It was a bunch of manbabies and feminists in a metaphorical kumbaya circle talking about how stressed they are, and how hard college life was, and their microaggressions.

Eventually I couldn't stand it and told them "My great uncle climbed Point Du Hoc under German fire on D-Day, my Great-grandfather invented the Foley Catheter, one Loyalist ancestor invaded Massachusetts in the Revolutionary War and burned half the state down, my great-great grandfather crossed the Vermont border in 1840 after his family began starving in Quebec, my Great X10 Grandfather sailed across the Atlantic in 1620 as a Priest's helper, eating hardtack and spoiled food to survive and then became a trapper, and all y'all bunch of sissies in this classroom are whining about how hard you've got it because your professor didn't use your preferred pronoun? You're all spoiled and don't have a clue about how hard life is."
