Welcome to 32nd and Chestnut...
This is the blog for 75 or so Drexel students, most of whom are new to college and new to Drexel.
We'll document the strangeness of college life, try to translate our experience for diverse readers, and chronicle what it means to be a college student during these crazy days of economic turmoil and political battle.
That's it for now; I have to go an play Spore.

Playdough:Childish or Helpful? Response to the blog post for sunday 11/2
The essay that I read was Play dough: Childish or Helpful? Most people think playing with play dough is childish, but really people like to play with play dough because it helps them get stuff out of their system when their mad. Also it helps the people communicate with each other and express ones feelings by making objects of how they feel or like. The question that was implied in this essay was if doing creative things is childish or is it a helpful way to communicate with others. This person stated that just by making play dough with their friend and 2 other people who he/she was not close with somehow at the end of the night got all of them closer. The conventional wisdom that was smacked right in our faces was that people judge others without getting to know them. Also, that technology has taken over everyone’s lives for communicating but technology ruins the relationship between others because the people do not get to meet face to face at times. So, as you can see doing stuff that was done in kindergarten can still be helpful to our society and to ourselves when we get older. It can be childish making cards or playing with dough, but at the same time it can help one another communicate a lot better than before.
