Communities

     Okay, maybe I will do this right for once. As far as I know, I am supposed to be posting about two articles. One, entitled "Take it as a Tribe", was about the ways in which being a part of a college community affects us. The main theme of the article was the fact that people want to be accepted into a group, and this want drives them to join communities, especially at college. Honesty, I was thinking about my experience at BSU the whole time I was reading the article. I came here with a few friends from high school, and its interesting to see them go their separate ways as they come into college. They do not stop becoming friends, but each person identifies with a different group. One friend will go off and hang out with a sports team while another chills in the dorm with some friends. Maybe I do not have school spirit, but I really haven't been able to identify with many people so far. It is not that I hate BSU or anything, but I really would not have any problems with switching to another school and leaving this one behind. I hope that sentiment changes. I can't help it, really. I'm just not a "group person".    
    The other article was Jon Stewart's commencement address. I wish more people could speak like that. I might not have fallen asleep during my high school graduation. Actually, I wonder if he writes for himself, or if someone writes for him. If anyone happens to know, feel free to comment on that. Also, I agree that his generation has screwed things up pretty bad, but what generation hasn't? At least, they didn't cause World War III, right? I'm going to look like the biggest idiot if the war on terror ends up escalating into WW3...
