Day one of work at Office Max was a complete success. The job is going to be ALOT of fun and from what my managers told me, I have an inate salesman personality. Most likily I get that from my dad who has worked in retail for around 25 years or so. I sold alot of stuff today which made me feel good. I sold 4 desks, three office chairs, a 200

Involvement

[tiel]

Every college pushes new students to get involved. Really. Mine did it. My best friend's did it. Our community college does it.

Thing is, they're sort of on to something. The campus is trying to build a community, and the more involved the students are, the more smoothly the community will run, and the more the students will care about what goes on.

I didn't live on campus, and I'm the exact opposite of you: I was in a ton of clubs and extracurriculars in high school, and didn't do a thing in college besides show up for class. Turns out they were right, about being involved. At the time, I didn't think anything of it, but looking back, I really did miss out on a big part of The Experience by doing the bare minimum,

That's not to say that you should jump in with both feet and sign up for everything available, but don't give up on the idea completely.

And yes, dorms do suck, but I'm told you adapt.

That is possible. I could very well find people who I can get along with and also make my way into a club or two. In all seriousness, I'm comparing High School to College which is the wrong way to look at it to begin with.

I shall see how things go, though.

Thanks for the input.

or is it that you have the habit of pushing an issue/idea until you beat the person into submission and they end up agreeing? :p

I think its the latter.

I'm a pushy and persuasive sunuvabitch.
