College campuses specifically have taken political correctness to a whole new level.

Before I begin my "rant," I want to make it clear I am in no way saying or stating it is okay to insult others or be racist against each other. The simple fact that I must make this statement before giving my opinion just proves my point that everything is being examined microscopically.

Nowadays having a different opinion or rather even taste is looked down upon.

Going to a university that is highly liberal has its perks I'll give you that, but wow. Whether it be GWU or every liberal arts school, we are suffering from a sort of tyranny of the offended, walking on eggshells everywhere we go. Tip-toeing through our conversations and apologizing every chance we get just to make sure no one is "triggered."

And that's the thing, what does that even mean; being "triggered"? Why are people being so damn sensitive?

Soon the only words we'll be allowed to use are: "I'm offended."

Creation of safe space, rioting over everything, I am so done with it.

Getting your voice out there is one thing, standing up for a cause that will make a huge difference in the world, I applaud that.

But rioting because burritos were served at a space-themed science fiction club meeting? Are you kidding me? What is wrong with you, University of California-Santa Cruz? Why is everything being taken so seriously?

Yes, we live in an era where things are quickly changing, gay marriage is legalized, women are getting paid the same as men, awesome things for the world. But excuse me if I may not share the same beliefs as you do. Does that mean you get to insult me because I do not agree with what you believe in? Do I get a "safe space" for you attacking me?

It's not enough that we have to watch every little thing we say in public and private, we now have to tailor every single mannerism to avoid offending the sensitive.

Let me get back to this whole idea about "safe spaces." Obama himself said he doesn’t agree with colleges avoiding potentially offensive material because he feels students shouldn’t be sheltered from different points of view, and the whole idea of a "safe space" is to "shelter" yourself from these different point views.

Again, one thing is being the victim of a racist situation or something along those lines, I myself as a Hispanic woman born and raised outside the U.S have dealt with this.

But please... chill out.

I beg of you to not twist my words and create this whole "rant" into one of those "Oh my god she is being so hypocritical and mean, I feel offended."

All I am saying is: America, stop being so delicate.

Treat each other with respect but also laugh a little... not everything is meant to be taken so harshly.
