As a college sophomore, I often get caught up in my own little world that revolves around studying, hanging with friends, and working (because those student loans aren't going to pay themselves off!). It's easy to get so caught up in college life that you ignore political events, such as elections, or economic events like the recent 700 billion bailout. Many college students think that they really don't have a say, or that political and economic issues aren't relevant to them. I say that both these ideas are false!
What makes the United States so great is that, through our democracy, everyone has a say. Yes, that's right. It doesn't matter whether you are 18 or 80 years old, you still can have a voice in the matters of our country. And yes, political and economic events do affect college students. My challenge to you: step outside of your own little world and learn about what is going on in our country and the world. Knowledge is power! I will also include political or economic news updates in each of my blogs, so you can keep up with important issues. Hopefully, through reading about such issues, you will take a stand and get involved. We are the future, so we must aware and active.
Well, that's all I have for now. Later!
