Grant's On-Campus Life

Grant's On-Campus Life
My experiences about life on the SFSU campus will be redirected to the BECA 670. Before graduating in May, I experienced so much life here that I'll remember when I look back at this.

The Cesar Chavez Student Center
This building is the only place with so much activity and life in it. It consists of the SFSU Bookstore, where students can purchase textbooks, general books, electronic hardware, campus merchandise, and magazines. One thing I'll always remember about the bookstore is the fact that I was able to land a job with their shipping department. Even though the job was only temporary, I was able to make as much money as I can at $8.82 an hour. Other cool things about the student center are the restaurants, such as the pizzeria, the pub, the cafe, the salad bar, and a few other restaurants. There are also a few student organization offices for PACE, ASU, KSA, and Palestine students. The basement level has a game room full of video games, pinball machines, and air hockey and Billiard's tables. A few services are provided for students who wish to inquire about events, student center and bookstore employment, and sales for public transit passes. Most of all the Student Center is also a place for friends to hang out in, whether it's to chill, dine, study their class assignments, or to sleep away their stresses. Most of the time when I'm there, I always find some friends that are there and start chatting with them. When I don't find anybody that I know, I just walk around the place to get my mind off of things. The Cesar Chavez Student Center has given me a lot of good reasons for me to come in and do anything that can make college life more enjoyable.

The Library
SFSU's library has also been a place for me to go to. Most of the time I'm there to use the computer labs. I'm always at a computer doing homework, typing essays, e-mailing friends, or researching anything that interests me. One purpose for using a computer at the library was to complete the library's OASIS requirement. During my time here, I only checked out a few books for reading and research since research for a few papers are online now. Sometimes I even go there as a quiet place to study for a quiz or an exam. The library has been my second favortie place to go to on campus whenever I'm bored.

Elsewhere
If the student center and the library aren't enough, I usually walk around campus to find other life and activity. In the student dorm areas, there are a few additional small restaurants and shops outside the Cesar Chavez Student Center. There is also a small game room with two Billiard's tables, photo booth, and pinball machines. Most of the time I eat at the Subway restaurant near the game room. I'm always buying a favorite sandwich as part of its daily specials. Lately, I've been hanging out at the radio station in the Creative Arts building either to lounge there or to get ready for my Friday afternoon radio show as part of BECA 505.

These are just many of the things that I've done here at SFSU for over four years. As I graduate this May, I'll always remember all that I've done here as part of my experiences with college life.
