A Freshman’s Perspective

This is a ‘Community’ College

I have been noticing that not a lot of students have been attending on-campus events. I understand that STLCC-Meramec is a community college, but still.

That is why it is called “community” college, right? We are a community, and communities stick together. I feel like we need to get our heads out of our butts and realize that there are talented students here. Attend one of the art showings. Go see a play. Do something, for crying out loud.

Is this just a “pit stop” for the next destination and is there no need to sight see? Well, “life is a journey, not a destination.”

If Katie from the Nicholas Sparks book, “Safe Haven” did not get off the bus to look around she never would have decided to stay in Southport, North Carolina. She never would of met Alex.

Stop and have fun while we are all in community college before we transfer to a university or join the work force and become another paycheck.
