In the age of safe spaces and trigger warnings comes another new trend to the college repertoire: coloring books. This fall, campuses nationwide are offering coloring books to students to help them de-stress.

At American University on Monday, its counseling center provided coloring sheets in honor of Healthy Campus Week, noting on its Facebook page that adult coloring books “can help with a number of emotional and mental health issues.” Conditions cited include obsessive-compulsive, eating, anxiety and depressive disorders, as well as anger management and substance abuse issues.

Those coloring books for adults (and pen and colored pencil sets) are all over Barnes and Noble stores. I would rather take up needlepoint or knitting as a creative outlet. At least then you could end up with something useful.

My God I hope they don’t color outside the lines. And they will need a trauma center if an old “Indian Red” crayon got mixed up in the box.

Coloring books, and safe spaces, and petting/comfort dogs.

All the stuff they should have gotten in Kindergarten.

See, Beaver Cleaver had it right.

White crayons have been renamed as Light Black.

I would love to do needlepoint. I don’t know where to find a class. Sewing yes, cake decorating, yes, needlework, no.

Getting plowed together covers a lot of problems. I can’t believe what college kids have to put up with these days.
