Campus Safari: Fail

The whole idea behind Campus Safari is very, um, annoying but that is not why I failed to get the assignment done. I totally was not paying attention to the dates and realized that I was going home this weekend, but I am not going to make excuses for myself and neglect the assignment, so I heard from other people what was to be accomplished and then I felt bad because I thought it would be interesting rather than annoying. This will be late and I know it and because of my failure to do so now I have to write two blogs in a matter of two hours because my friend wants to watch the Hunger Games hosted at the Student Center at 8 o’clock. Instead I went to the book store and asked them for a j-o-b. Before I came to Southern my mother signed me up for work study and I was for sure I would get some kind of position and I didn’t. I was really aggravated so I wanted to see if there were other ways I could find a job. Unfortunately, when I went to the Book Store I was told that all the positions were taken and as soon as I got my spring schedule I should rush and give it to them. Usually, I am not the one to ask why something didn’t happen and I just go with the flow but I talked to who I believed was the manager (completely forgot her name) and asked her why my mom signed me up for work study if I wasn’t going to get it. My problem is that I always want what I go after and when I don’t get it I am ticked off. Well she continued to explain that there are so many students on campus who probably felt the same way I did. The amount of positions available at a certain location couldn’t hire all the students on campus or else hours wouldn’t be distributed evenly and it would be a hot mess. I learned from her that although you may be the first or the last person to go for something it’s not necessarily your fault that you didn’t get what you want because the world does not revolve around me. Thanks to the woman I understand that Southern has to look at the students as a WHOLE not just satisfying one student at a time but instead taking into consideration a group of people who stress the same issue.
