Wow. Was all could say after I finished reading the essay, Don't Send the Clones. Finally someone said what I have been trying to explain to people and they said it perfectly. When people ask me what my favorite part is about college I never say, the classes, the parties, or the freedom. My favorite part is the diversity. I love how everyone is different from each other but still ends up in the same place. The clicks still exist like they will where ever you go, but there is a moment where you can look around and see all the unique cool people around you. Some people find this scary, but I think it should be embraced more because it is such an important part of live...understanding others. At a community college people still tend to flock towards the people they know that went to there high school. I can say I am guilty of that, which is normal because its a new world out there. But, as each day goes by I try to talk to someone new and different from me. In high school I was always pretty different from the other girls, but that is the way I am. I don't like to conform because that's what everyone else is doing. So when I see all these people that are the same way as me makes me realize not everyone is the same. With the high usage of social media people can find those clicks or groups easier and they end up not stepping out of there comfort zone. I think this needs to change because you will never develop yourself as a person without experiencing others that are different than you.
