Week_5_2/13/2016_ She Heard It and He Said It

With my surroundings, people argue almost all the time. Living on the 11th floor with 32 other girls in Griesedieck, the things that are argued about can range anywhere from borrowing a shirt to whether or not you did the chem lab correctly. Although most these arguments can become pretty intense, they never truly cause any harm to anyone. For example, my roommate and I always argue, but it’s not like we hate each other. We argue over the dumbest things, like clothes, boys, of course, and food but there is never any spite within these arguments. Aside from my roommate and me, girls on my floor are pretty calm this semester, last semester was a completely different story for one of the rooms on our floor, they ended up having a huge falling out and one of the girls moved out. But that is not any of my business as to what happened between the two. The only problem I have with arguing is that very rarely accomplish anything at all, because it is constant bickering and throwing words around left and right without any meaning.
As for my classes, I only have two classes that really encourages argumentation. Those classes are Sociology and this class on Thursday, both I enjoy but I never truly get involved with these arguments because, for some odd reason, I’m more reserved in class. Rather than being my normal loud and just a tad opinionated. Anyway, my professors typically respond pretty well to argumentation, there is never really any criticism that has been brought to the attention of my professors, well at least to their face. Which that has actually started an argument between a random pair of people sitting in front of me in class last semester. One of the two said that she hated the teacher and the way he was teaching the lesson and the other girl looked as if she had just been shot in the foot. She then went on to begin a long rant about if the other girl actually paid attention, maybe she would understand the way he taught. This pointless argument went on quietly for the majority of the class and I found nothing but entertainment. Because I realized how unnecessary arguments can really be, unless you have a valid reason to have a heated conversation with someone, don’t bother to say anything. No one cares if Shannon borrowed your shirt and didn’t give it back until you asked for it or if Ashley gave you a dirty look, just stop. Arguments should be used only in politics and/or if you have a valid reason with actual evidence to support why you are about to talk, or yell, at someone else. So, if you don’t meet either of those, don’t bother to argue.
