Normally November is a time people express what they are thankful for.
I’m not sure if people are extra rude this month because school stress, poor weather or maybe people are just anxious for December break. Either way people need to take a step back and chill out.
I am disappointed in the behavior I’ve seen on and around campus. It is really bothersome when one person’s negative attitude can impact so many people.
I hope people will stop being so negative, lazy and rude to people around them.
Everyone has something going on. Some people might even have more going on than you. Everyday I see people post on Facebook things they are thankful for and I am thankful for that each day, but by the end of the school day I feel so beaten down and jaded by other people’s bad energy.
Sunday was Veterans Day, a day we all should be thankful for. I would appreciate if the MSU community would take a step back from their own lives and be a little less selfish and compassionate for someone else.
Students, faculty and staff have all been busy and it seems it has become socially acceptable to make other people emotional punching bags.
Test, projects, presentations and clinicals are overwhelming students to their brink. So rather than being sucked in to this whirlwind of destruction I would like to say what I am thankful for and my pledge to students to be less callous.
I have said some brash remarks this semester and some have been unnecessary to emphasise certain points. My goal is not to create hostility on campus. I will make an effort to be less negative.
I am proud to be part of this community. I love this university and wish more people would understand how great we have it here.
Last week University Programming Board provided a zip line to students. It might not have been the tallest or most exciting for all you thrill seekers, but for this chicken it was just right. I am thankful for a university that comes up with fun activities for students.
I am thankful for the fact I have made great friends during my time here. Friends I will one day tell my children about when I reflect about the good ol’ times.
I will be graduating in December and my hope is that students will take a serious look at what it is they are even complaining about and try to be more positive. MSU has been such an awesome experience for me and will miss it after I graduate.
No matter how stressful classes are right now, remember the semester is almost over. And that is something to be thankful for.
