Campus cacophony.

As I was walking to class today I witnessed an all too frequent occurrence. Amidst the hustle and bustle of students rushing to class, there was a group of girls standing smack in the middle of all of it. There they were, talking and laughing with one another. Or should I say shouting and whooping. Yes, I should say that because that's exactly what they were doing. 

I don't know what it is about participating in group conversations in public settings that causes people to feel this insuppressible need to laugh and shout so loudly that it echoes around the buildings and reverberates across campus, but apparently there's something because it happens all the time. 

Every time I hear this babel, I feel like I'm hearing "Quick! Look at me! I have friends! And we're laughing together because we are just so funny! Everybody should look at us being friends and notice our big, outgoing and spunky personalities! Ahahaha!"

Well, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but still. I feel like these abnormally loud and obnoxious conversations are getting out of hand. People, just enjoy your friends at a normal human decibel and let the rest of us pass along without feeling harassed by your ruckus.
