Week 1 Blog 2

Subcultures I belong to:

Volleyball Player-- always busy with games and practice, thinking about ways to become a better player
Girlfriend-- spends more time with "the boyfriend" than with friends
College Student-- poor, constantly tired, out on the weekends, eats lots of pizza/take out
Smoker-- the "smoker's circle", power smoking, most of my friends are smokers
Heavy Sleeper-- morning classes suck, roommates love me
Physical Fitness Major-- working out a lot, learning about muscles, telling "normal" people at the gym that they are doing it wrong

I am a smoker, among many other things. Most of the time, non-smokers make statements that make smokers seem non-human or like they don't have any say. Recently at Ball State, a "designated smoking area" was cut in half due to non-smoker complaints. This is unfair. Smokers are people, too. Whether non-smokers like it or not, we have the right to smoke. A big issue I am having with the recent cutback on space, if you don't like the smoke, go sit somewhere else. That is clearly marked as a "smoking section", deal with it. Besides, we already gave you the rest of campus, this makes me feel like a Native American being pushed off my own land.
