College Student Peers

Decent Essays

Me and some fellow students were all sitting outside relaxing after having finished our classes for the day. Where we were sitting just happen to be by one of the campus trashcans. When I looked down by the trashcan I noticed so much trash around the can but not in it. I then looked around the campus and actually saw trash everywhere that I honestly never noticed. I told my fellow students that we pay to be here so we should not just sit by and watch our campus

We provide each other with company, someone to share our problems with, and a way to escape from the stress of school.…

    Growing up in school I was always different from people my age. I never really fit in with anybody. I was one to go straight home after school until I was old enough to work, then after school and on the weekends I buried myself in my work. I am so different from everyone because instead of going out to parties I would rather be snuggled up with a good movie and my sister or cooking.
