I really appreciate the Flyer News. Think about it, a student run newspaper to fill us in on what is happening on campus, current student concerns; it allows to us voice our opinion, it keeps us up with our sports teams (Go Flyers!) and gives us sudokus to do in class!

What I do not understand, however, is why Maggie gets to write a column to complain about how desperate and lonely she is, while on the other hand, Mark McCausland voices the concern of many being demeaned for enjoying something, but in less space.

I mean, really? If you think complaining about a dumb TV show is a good article, I must question your values. I am very grateful for all the other articles that have a genuine point of concern instead of a self-centered article.

Another thing I do not understand is why do people always complain about community? We ARE a community. Just look at the people around you. A long time ago we should have "stopped talking and started doing."

I am pretty sure all this complaining is not in accordance with the Marianist values. Notice how we just throw that around? Do any of us fully live the Marianist values? Or do we just bring them up when we want our way?

For all of you who do actually reach out to those around you, who see someone crying and give them a hug, who ask how people are doing, who check on people, who do things without being told, I applaud all of you! You deserve credit for all that you do.

There are more complaint articles than ones that praise. I think putting some more positive articles about the good things could benefit the whole community.

We should not have to wait for a complaint article about community to start acting like one. So if you have a complaint, start acting, lend someone a hand, go to a random event and learn about the people there, become better-rounded by being open to new things and new people, look around and smile.

We have many diverse people that make one community. We Are.
