Rock the Vote

In continuing trying to better my involvement on campus, I decided to attend an event put on by SAB during homecoming weekend. In order to avoid ordinary, involving yourself for future positions is important. You have to start somewhere, so why not now? Every Fisher student has their enrollment in common; however it’s what you do outside of this that makes you stand out above the rest. Simply attending events will not transform your identity, but I’m looking for a program to pursue a position on the staff. This event certainly sparked my interest as a couple cast members from MTV’s Real World showed up! They lead the talk on “Rock the Vote” to ensure college students take the responsibility to pursue their vote. They even said if 100% of citizens ranging from the age of 18-24 voted, we would decide the whole election! That’s powerful stats and makes me view this November differently. Sitting in the audience gave me insight on a couple different topics the election is based on, and I feel I can actually make a difference. They probably target college students because we’re after an education and don’t realize the power we actually obtain. It’s a right we sometimes forget to exercise. For me personally, I’m quite clueless when it comes to current events, and feel like attending the session has made me aware. Living on campus also helps in other ways. The Resident Assistant on our floor has posted up an arrangement outside of her door. She has some pictures and main points on each side of the political campaign runners. These are some of the little perks of living on campus. It seems so minuscule and not an influential reason to stay at school, but it all adds up.
