Generation confusion

When I first started college, I had some minor issues with my roommate. It was nothing serious whatsoever; it was more like just adjusting to living with someone. Growing up, I always had my own bedroom, so I never had to alter my activities, or anything for that matter, due to the convenience of someone else. Also, it's just the simple fact that one is packed into a small square room with someone whom they have never met before. Chances of things working out are pretty slim. At least for me it is. Girls and I don't get along too well. The way my life is going though, I just don't think I get along great with anyone. But hell, that's a whole other blog entry.
What my intention was is that one thing I had to get used to were her television shows.
Nope, it wasn't Jersey Shore or American Idol that she watched religiously. It's those pathetic soap operas. Nickelodeon, and the Disney Channel.
I'm a fan of Nick and Disney, but that was back in the day, ya know? We had our good times. But, I moved on. We're 18, 19, 20+ years old.
I've come to realize that it is not that odd for a college student (mainly girls) to be fans of Disney and their non-talented celebs. *cough* Miley Cyrus *cough*
As I walk in the hallways of my dorm building, or overhear conversation before classes start, I couldn't count on one had how many times it's about those shows that are aimed at a younger audience.
Why would college kids be interested in that?
Then, the younger kids, watch those same shows, and shows like Jersey Shore, and try and act like them. It's disgusting. Why would you want to be one of them?
With shows like Glee, the actors/actresses are clearly not in high school. They are mid-twenties, I'd say. But, then, you have actual real life high schoolers dress and act like the people they see play those roles in movies and shows. It's just not right. The generations are all confused because society mixes and warps age groups.
None of this may make sense. I"m just tired and ranting. Time to read and sleep. Work in the morning, rugby tournament, then Buddy Wakefield! I cannot wait.
