protesting as such doesn’t matter too much for me- i just think that a politically active campus is really important- i go to a school right now where people don’t even know what’s going on between Israel and Lebanon; people start political and community service clubs more because it looks good on college apps instead of because they actually care about what’s actually going on outside of our little town
this bugs me a lot

i’ve always wanted to go to a college where people do care about the “world’s business” instead of worrying only about “their own success”; it’s not at all about hate- i’m actually a pretty happy person

apart from a politically active campus, i think it’s really important for students to be involved in their community in ways that matter- at my high school, people tend to care more about the hours of commmunity service they do instead of making a real dent in their community

sorry, but i don’t consider volunteering at a public library community service- but that’s what most people do as community service nowadays because it fills up hours really quickly

in college, i would like to really help my community- if that means protesting, then i’m all game
