Walking across Missouri Western’s campus on any given day, I see an increasing number of people holding a cup of coffee in their hands. I hear an ungodly amount of people walking with that ever-so annoying roller backpack. And I see oodles of girls sporting Western football hoodies with $300 purses over their shoulders.
Whether they make sense or not, they’re trends, and they’re sweeping Missouri Western by storm.
Trends aren’t just about what you wear or what’s in your hand at all times (my cell phone). They’re also about what you do and how it impacts your life. For example… An increasing number of people are becoming active in the campus community. Greek life, student life, professional life. Whatever it is, students are getting involved, i.e. TREND.
Another trend I’ve noticed is the unfailing ability for English professors to assign homework. It must be a conspiracy plotted against all English majors. However, regardless of the fact that it makes me want to change my major, it’s a trend.
All these new trends, whether I am making fun of them walk through the food court or cursing them for ruining my social life, make Missouri Western what it is. We are thirstily/noisily/fashionably/actively/academically trendy, and we're giving other trendsetting universities a little competition.
