If the Arbiter is going to subject you to my convictions this semester I think it is only fair for me to tell you who and what I am in the “cheapest” sense of the definition. By cheap I am alluding to the name of this column; “The Cheap Question.” My intention is to focus on what intelligent and educationally focused individuals can monetarily and spiritually can afford. I also intend to uncover what holds the most value.
It is obvious that everything we do has some sort of higher surcharge attached to it. Every action we take has a negative and a positive effect on us and I want to uncover some of the more positive parcels and share them in this column.
I am a senior Sociology major with high hopes of graduating this spring. I started at Boise State University in the fall of 1993. Upon hearing this, most people look at me funny when I say my start date, “Oh, The Seven year plan, huh?”
I began my collegial career as a Theatre major and actually did quite well (until I was hit with the bombshell that I already had enough problems figuring out who I was and did not need a degree in pretending to be someone else). So, I switched to Business for one semester, then to Communications, and then on to my true calling D Sociology. I took a semester off here and there, went to Europe with a backpack, spent too much time at the Neurolux and well, you all know how the story goes
