Track vs School

Todays blog is going to be about my student life experience at my first track meet. I feel as if I didn't join the track team I wouldn't have this opportunity to connect with more people. Track is just like a club to me. A club that meets everyday and works together for two to three hours. Even though I enough running track it has started to affect my social life at stan state. In order to attend practice every day. I had to change my schedule to make sure that I have enough time to take care of my study hall hours and attend practice and still have time to hangout with my friends or attend social school gathering such as the basketball game during homecoming. If you recall from my last blog my goal was to attend any events that were going on during the week. Sadly I wasn't able to achieve that goal because of track. Track is somewhat a blessing and a curse. This week we have another track meet coming up and it's going to be at that school. So this time I hope to see people from the school attend and make it kind of feel like the homecoming basketball game. I know it probably won't have the same outcome as them since it's on a Saturday but I still want to feel the same vibe. I think having a home track meet would make me enjoy my student life here at Stan State because I would be surrendered by people I see everyday and they get to come and support their school.

Homecoming

This weeks topic is going to be about the upcoming homecoming week here at Stanislaus State. It’s already seems totally different from my high school's homecoming. Even though the week just started I already don’t feel welcomed to participate. Compared to my highschool when we have a homecoming football game there’s always spirt week leading into the big game on Friday. It was much easier to participate cause all you really had to do is dress up in whatever the theme of the day was. That being either jersey day or black and white day. But i feel like when I started attending college I ran into people that didn’t really care about the social events that occur at school. I meet some people while attending a business dinner through Stanislaus. They were mostly juniors and seniors and they all confessed that they’ve never went to the quad on wednesdays to enjoys the activities clubs and other groups of people do. One of them actually said they try to avoid the quad and that was so crazy to me. I really think Stanislaus has these types of events to attempt to let college students to have a little access to fun in between their classes. So this week I’m going to attempt to attend the homecoming events if i'm not busy but to be honest I really doubt I could because of the time they have it. Just like the wednesday event it was always when I have class. But I will definitely attend the basketball game, I think that will really show how many people have school spirit and will encourage people that lack it gain some.

Parties?

Today's blog is going to be about my experience at a past party that I attended. And yes this does relate to my school experience here at Stanislaus State. While attending this party I was able to make multiple connections with people that also attends the college. The difference from any regular school day was that it felt much easier to socialize with strangers at a party rather than in a classroom. I think that my lack of motivation to attend classes causes me to build up a wall and enclose myself into my own little word. People I would never see myself having more than a hello exchange with was proven wrong when I attended the party. It might have been that way because they were under the influence but still it made me feel good inside. Since I'm such a shy person, attending the party made me a little bit more optimistic on make more friends and expanding my usually circle. My circle currently consist of people on my track team only cause im always with them 24/7 and even though they’re cool people I need to be more outgoing. With the help of Stan State's activities I have more opportunities to reach out and network with other people that could help me out in the future. Hopefully I actually get to attend the activities they have and probably the reset of my blog post would be about them and how I felt about them. I would also talk about how it effects my experience at Stanislaus State.
