has to filter through every aspect of latest bunch of new adults. It permeates their whole existence as a generation. Entitled to be considered special and unique. Entitled to start independent living (if they ever bother to move out) with all the accoutrements their parents worked at least twenty years to accumulate. Entitled to their post secondary education as long as they have paid their fees.

The latest thing from English undergraduate students is why do we have to read so many books?
I thought such a question was ridiculous and rude coming from journalism students who attended a senior level literature class so imagine my disgust at these comments from English majors.

I totally fell in love with the idea of being an English major....it helped fuel my book reading addiction.
