Stop complaning, get involved

are still many other activities on and around campus that will make your time here more fulfilling.

watched sports. It’s hard to relate how big of a deal the World Cup is to the rest of the world in American terms. The best I could come up with is saying it’s like the Super Bowl multiplied by about 10 and it lasts for one grueling, nail-biting, national pride filled month.

Yes, one whole month. Think about if it were Super Bowl Sunday every time your team played, and the whole country supported one side and loathed the other.

When I think about the World Cup, it really is a shame that the United States doesn’t take it as seriously as the other 31 nations competing in June, because it really is just one of those things that brings everyone together.

Awhole nation is united under one flag and they focus all of their emotions and energy to seeing their side win it all. That is something you don’t get very often around here.

Sure, the Olympics are nice, but they don’t even come close to the World Cup, at least not in my eyes or the near billions of soccer fans around the world.

Being a first generation Brit, soccer has and always will be my life. England is the birthplace of the beautiful game and they could be the most anxious for the tournament to begin. Mainly because the last time they won the whole thing was some 40 years ago to the year.

Six long months to go but the wait will be worth it. There truly isn’t anything like it and the expected 2 billion viewers would definitely agree with me.

Cabrini College is not exactly the greatest party school on the Main Line. I mean, there is barley 2,000 of us, so you can’t expect there to be an “Animal House” party every night.

I’ve been hearing a lot of students complaining about how there is nothing to do here, but I disagree.

Ibet a lot of you complainers have never even been to a Cabrini event or left your dorm for something other than class. Just because you can’t go out and barf every night does not mean that Cabrini is the boring capital of the world; and yes, I actually heard someone use that phrase to describe Cabrini.

Iknow, a lot of students go home for the weekend and this is amystery to me as well, but there

So have you heard of the King ofPrussia Mall? It is one of the biggest malls in the country and it is less than 10 minutes away. You could spend an entire day just trying to navigate the place. For the most addicted shopper it is close to heaven on earth.

Our campus is a train ride away from Philadelphia. There’s South Street, Pat’s Steaks, Olde City, The Philadelphia Art Museum, Penn’s Landing and the list goes on and on. Many museums and shows offer discounted rates for college students. Get a group offriends together and go to Philadelphia for the day, see a show, grab a cheesesteak or shop on South Street. The possibilities are endless.

Ok, so you don’t have any money, that’s a common problem for any college student. The CAP Board puts on a lot of activities during the week and on the weekends for students to go to. Student bands, comedians and the dances cost less than a lunch at Jazzman’s and are always memorable.

There are also endless clubs and organizations on campus. There is a ski and outdoor club, roller hockey club, dance team and all kinds of organizations dedicated to almost every major. Alist of these activities and a calendar of things going on around campus can all be found on Cabrini’s website. Have you not noticed the millions of flyers posted around campus? There’s a hint.

Go out and support your favorite Cabrini team. The weather outside is getting nicer and we are all itching to get out of the stuffy dorms. If you aren’t into sports, that’s ok, but going to agame with your friends sure beats watching the same episodes of “The Gauntlet” over and over.

Ithink the real problem is that students are just too lazy to see what's out there. Yes, Cabrini is a small school and yes, a lot of people go home on the weekends, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t have a good time. College is what you make of it. Stop hiding in your dorm and come out and see what's going on. I guarantee that you won’t be disappointed.
