College Students of Illinois

Most people look forward to the weekend as a time to unwind. That thought process is inaccurate🙅🏼 when you’re in college; that’s the time where you catch up before preparing for another nightmarish week. 😂

Isn’t it crazy how someone can look at a math problem and solve it in their head in 2.5 seconds, but it took you 2.5 minutes just to understand what it was asking you to do. 😂😩

How’re classes going for everyone? Anyone else ready to impale themselves with a pencil?

It is extremely hard 🤦🏽‍♀️to put ourselves in other people's shoes on such complex issues. It's easy to say one or the other is 🤷🏼‍♂️wrong. It is even harder to step back and try and understand why we or they feel this way about an issue. 🤔

Just wondering, does math get easier the more you are forced to take it for your major? Asking for a friend.

School is gearing to start up again😭🎓, some of us dread it 😫and some love it. Not excited for the long papers🙄 but it's a time where you 🤔meet new people. Step into a different subject you haven't taken before. What are some good classes😊 that you enjoyed? Political science was an interesting one for me. 😋

As college students we all get worked up over hot button topics. We HAVE to remember to stay civilized. We won't all agree on an issue but debate is healthy; DISCUSSIONS are a good thing! To try and attack or belittle someone for a viewpoint gets us no where. To talk about it and ask the hard questions are what will help us progress into further understanding of each other. So as you prepare to start the fall semester, remember to not respond angrily but intelligently. Listen to understand, not to respond. ❤️

One thing I find concerning about college students is how much we lack with being engaged in our political system. I've never seen so many college students get so fired up for Bernie sanders. How can we fix our lack of interest for the political system in college aged culture?

What do you guys think, should we allow PARENTS to determine which schools get money and how much? I think they should allow Students/Parents to decide. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Understanding Illinois’ broken education funding system A system where parents control the flow and distribution of money empowers families to hold schools accountable.

Sometimes it is REALLY 🙄hard to sit in a classroom with people you don't agree with. But as the class continues and the ongoing debate from class to class begins to get deeper; you start to form an understanding of someone who differs from you. We all have our personal standpoints, but can we as college students, listen to understand instead of listening to respond?

Ok so I want to know, where is everyone at? ❤️💕🌈💥

This is a page for current or future college students to get together and get to know each other from all over Illinois! A place to discuss hot button topics and to learn how to better get INVOLVED here in your own state. A change is coming, will you be part of it? 😌👏🏽🤷🏼‍♂️
