Most students who haven’t taken Colloquium yet, cringe at the thought of when that day will come. The word gets around quick, and before you know it, a simple class turns into a living nightmare. It is to no surprise that my mind had been distorted by the words of others, but when it came my turn to take Colloquium, I was actually surprised to my disbelief. Contrary to most, I actually grew to like the class. I love the outdoors, so the idea of taking a class where I get to do just that, is all too perfect.
My expectations for this class are very high. I hope to learn a great deal about the environment, such as the organisms that inhabit it, as well as ways to preserving its resources, since they sustain our livelihoods as well. In order to be able to live on, we must first be able to preserve what we have. Many college students, like me, unfortunately are lost in an ongoing waste dilemma. We throw away so much paper and plastic products each day, that it is no surprise why much of it ends up in lakes, on grass, and so on, everywhere but where it should be. Instead of these products being recycled, they are being mixed with the non-recyclables, which in turn increases the amount of waste being thrown out each and every day. If more students recycled then it would help to improve the environment in many ways.
My major is marketing. This means that the environment plays its role in the sense that it is my means for finding out information about a certain population, and their habits. The way an environment is sustained, managed, constructed, all plays a key role in how the people and other organisms interact with one another. In order to be successful in marketing, I must be able to get into the head of the people that I am trying to reach, this meaning that I must understand the way they think and the way their environment works around them.
