What is a college student and how do we affect change?!

College students are around many different people. Getting out and talking to people will allow you to realize that everyone has a different background. Everyone has their own problems. Some are more serious than others. You can help them if you pay attention. As groups college students get things done faster in the community. The fear of letting the others down will help you to go through with more volunteering.
Apsu 1000 has helped me realize how different everyone is. It helped me talk to others and know a little of how their lives are shaped.

APSU 1000 Advantagous?

I do not believe APSU 1000 at APSU is advantageous. It was a waste of time. We did not do anything that I felt could help me in college. It was like a dumb high school class. I do not believe that it will help me navigate through the rest of my years of college. This class should be something that is a choice.

If i could start this semester over

Experiencing this first semester of college I have realized that it is very tough to go to college full time and work full time. If I would have known how hard it was I probably would have chosen something different, like maybe online, or community college. I just moved out on my own and everything happening at once is very difficult and stressful.

I am afraid to let my family down by being a college drop out even though I do not need college for my career. So many choices to make!

Future Career

I am a HUGE adrenaline junky!! That is the reason why I am going for a career a police officer. The thrill of chasing and catching criminals excites me! Also my father was a policeman and I was raised on doing things right. I want to help the community. I want to make sure everyone is safe.
I am not one that likes slow paced, office work. I want to be out and about.

I know to have this career you must be at least 21 years old. This is because you have to carry a gun. There is not any further education needed beyond college, but I want to be the best out of anyone to better my chances of scoring the job.

I just can't wait to get going!! :))

Diversity in college

Diversity in College is very important for everyone's future. It does not matter what career field you go in, you will encounter different races and cultures. Being exposed to different people in college will prepare you for when you are exposed to them out in the real world. You can learn and understand different cultures from experience.
Also, you may find yourself interested in a different culture. You may find the Indian culture fascinating and maybe move to India to be a doctor. Being exposed to diversity early in your life will prepare you on how to act when you see something abnormal to American cultures.


Financial Literacy

You must understand financial literacy while going to college to keep yourself less stressful. Times could be hard. If you are a commuter you have to manage your money so you have gas to get to and from school. Also you will be spending most of your time on campus so you need to think about what you are going to eat. Do you need to budget so you can eat on campus? Also paying student loans back will be tough. Everyone should ask help on the best ways to start paying loans. College cost a lot of money. People need to be well educated in how to keep from paying more than what they need to.
