Nom! Sansan.

The Asian American Student Association seemed at its prime 4 years ago when I first joined.  The club had over 70 members and yet we were all close.  I think it was because almost all of us started college at the same time that we also all drifted apart at the same time.  Friends started to hang out with certain friends.  Groups began to form and split.  Four years later the club is hanging only because of history, but it’s obvious the club has died.

But when a forest burns down, new trees rise.  With the incoming freshman receiving no leadership from the club, they began to gather themselves.  If you walk up the 3rd floor of the Knowledge Center and walk to your right, you’ll find a group of young Asian American freshman and sophomores all studying together.  I like it there because you’ll always find a friendly face to talk to.  The older kids seem to have become bitter and have retreated from the whole college experience.  But these young kids are still so eager about their education and their future.

The group has become such a living breathing entity of their own, they made a name for themselves: the 3FC or the 3rd Floor Crew.  At any time you can usually find them there.  They even made T-shirts.   They post events on Facebook and take trips together.  It does sound kind of cheesy but they have brought back the brotherhood and sisterhood I once remember.
