Brainstorming!

1. The rise in tuition costs. This year, tuition went up. And we pay the lump sum without realizing the different fees in the tuition. 12 dollars of the 150 dollars per credit hour goes to sports. I have never even been to a game, yet I paid $168 this semester alone in sports fees. Should we be paying for other students extracurriculars? Or should only those participating in each part of college life pay for them?

2. The effect facebook (or other social networking sites) has on relationships. We, as college students especially, interact with one another a lot on facebook. While it is good for staying connected with out-of-state friends of friends back home, it is also exessively used for staying in touch with people you see on a daily basis. We learn of life changing instances, not through face-to-face communiacation, but through wall-to-wall. UCF students use facebook as a way to start clubs, or form study groups. Many people post way to much on their pages as well. Instead of talking trough arguements, angry comments get posted. Are these social networking sites a great new way to stay connected, or unhealthy for our relationships?

3. PARKING! I hate the parking situation. It has gotten to be so bad, I now get stressed leaving my house because I'm worried I won't find a spot. WHY did they get RID of parking to build ANOTHER building?!?!?
