The college experience for some is purely partying and studying with not much else. For others they have to go to work and balance other extra curricular activities. This is the college experience for Samantha Nycole Prekeris, she has to balance a job, a sorority and all of the other responsibilities of college.
For Samantha everyday is a busy day even on Sundays. This Sunday she had to get up early in the morning and go to work to her job at the Cheesecake Factory. Her employer treats her like any other employee and that adds even more work.
After a full seven hours at work Samantha has to study for her test that she has the next day like every other student. She is currently working on her double major in Psychology and Education at Hofstra with a minor in Art History which is the test she has to study for.
However, her studying is interrupted by a meeting with her sorority that takes at least two hours of her time. A sorority here at Hofstra University is a major commitment to a group of her sisters and is a sacrifice for the betterment of an organization. After the meeting it would be back to studying and then all in one day trying to balance some social responsibilities.
Samantha’s situation is not uncommon for college students, but it is one that needs to appreciated. College students take on a lot of work, but most do not view it that way. With all of these extra jobs that college students are taking on it prepares them for life after college. She will surely be one of the most prepared to take on all of the multi-tasking that comes with life after college.
