First World Problems

I was almost annoyed by this sign.

And then I realized what a stupid thing that would be to be annoyed by. Only in such a elitist, overly-endowed, high-tech location like Rice do we have an additional college-specific ID card reader IN ADDITION to the specially cored locks that work with all the keys that also correspond to individual rooms across the campus.

First. World. Problem.

For anyone unaware of the concept of a first world problem, it's a petty issue that is only relevant in the most developed, over-affluent areas of the world and pales in comparison to any issue people struggle with in the rest of the world.
For more commentary on this deeply rooted issue of life perspective and socio-economics, I will now refer you to a highly respectable expert in the field- a teenager with a youtube account. First World Problems.

  1. Truth. Also, when the servery runs out of greek yogurt too quickly, I often find myself complaining, only to realize how much of a RiceWorldProblem/FirstWorldProblem that is ;)
