While browsing through some blog posts, I saw some in particular that caught my eye. Jason Kelley posted the first and it is titled “The Definition of Success”. He talks about how success takes hard work and dedication, which I also believe in. The examples he gave were The Beatles and Derek Jeter. Those are two great examples because The Beatles, in many peoples opinion is the greatest band of all time and they overcame so much to be who they ended up; and Derek Jeter because he is not only one of the greatest shortstops of all time, but also one of the greatest Yankees and players ever. One quote I loved was when he said, “Greatness should not be handed to you”. This quote can not only be carried out in music and sports, but in everything you do. It can be directly translated to this class and to college in general. You must try hard in the classroom to get a good grade; the teacher won’t (or shouldn’t) give you a good grade for doing nothing.
The second blog I like was Tina’s titled “Southern Safari: Baby Steps to Getting Involved”. Tina talks about the Club Fair and how she signed up for four clubs. I believe that this is a great way to meet new people and learn more about southern as a whole. Even though we have been here for a few weeks now, there are still so many people that we don’t know and so many potential friendships that we could form just from joining clubs like Tina did.
Lastly, I liked Nina’s blog titled “Club Fair”. Although it was the same topic as Tina’s, I liked how Nina mentioned the Colleges Against Cancer group. This hit me because recently, one of my best friends was diagnosed with Leukemia. He is 19 and we have been best friends since Elementary School. Right now he is receiving treatment in Boston and is doing well. She says over the past 6 years SCSU has raised over $180,000 for the American Cancer Society which is outstanding.
