Doing What I Came to Do

Well... Since I've been at college..
I had and broke up with a boyfriend,
made plenty of friends,
pulled an all-nighter,
got drunk once,
studied alot,
smoked,

But, when I realized that I was ready to go to college to start a new life, back in the few days when I was freaking out before move-in day... I thought I'm taking on a mission to help and change the world. Since I've been here I haven't joined any clubs, haven't volunteered-- I've not really done much of anything.

Now the distractions stop. I waited through the crisis of a hurricane, earthquake... well now I 'm going to start.
Tonight I joined a campus group called ProgressOWU which works towards progressive issues. Right now the big campaign is a campaign against homelessness. So far the group hosted a Hunger Banquet and held a rally during Mayor Coleman's democratic campaign kickoff here on campus (rallying against his closing of the Open Shelter, the first shelter in Ohio). Tomorrow there will be lectures all afternoon about healthcare for the homeless and soon I will volunteer at another local shelter serving dinner.
Soon as well I will join College Democrats.
