Spring 2010 Volume VI Issue II By Joshua Enriquez Drama is probably one of the things that a teenager would never want to be involved with as it potentially has the ability to ruin friendships or even relation- ships. There are those who stir up drama just for the fun of it but those are the ones who cannot truly see what drama can really do to someone’s life. Ashka Patel, a sophomore and Resident Assistant, says, “Drama is for people who crave attention and is un- necessary in a col- laborative environ- ment. When she ac- tually encounters drama in her -daily life on campus, she tries “to ignore it and not get involved as much as possi- ble.” She also be- lieves that people who are involved in drama should just _ get over it as she states “In order to be the bigger person, you just need to get over it. Life simply moves on.” She says that she has- n’t had to deal with a lot of drama because she tries to surround her- self with people who are level- headed. Her final statement; “Save the drama for the movies.” Ashka is quite lucky not to have deal with the drama that a lot of people can: stir up from al- most nothing.

Moemoe has the same opinion as Ashka in that she thinks, “anyone who is involved in drama should just get over it and to stop being imma- ture. They should have other things to do in their lives. I have- n’t had too much drama to deal with on this campus but when I do, it usually involves boys and/ or my friends. If you think about it, it’s too much for one person and it gets too frustrating and not worth the time.” Michael Chang, a sophomore majoring in Political Science, states “In general, people should mind their own business and not create unnecessary grief for other people. 1 don’t want to tell anyone to get over anything. I think everyone has their own way to deal with their problems and I’m certainly supportive in any way they find helpful. I just think that there are bigger and better things to be con- cerned with.” As you can see, there are people who do concern themselves with the drama while others do not.
