cartoon As college students, our emotional desires and achievements sought are so much more valuable to us than any material goods.

The truth is that this is a nationwide phenomenon. As college students, our emotional desires and achieve- ments sought are so much more valuable to us than any material goods. When we were children, all we needed to be satisfied was to play Game Boy for hours and hours, but now, satisfaction comes in much more complex ways. In my Applied Human Development class, we read an article by Jeffrey Jensen Arnett, a psychology pro- fessor from the University of Maryland. The entire article was dedicated to promoting the newly defined life stage of emerging adulthood. This stage, gener- ally taking place from ages 18-25, is described as the point in our lives when we “want” intangibles more than ever, experimenting and taking opportunities in order to find our niche. We push ourselves to take ad- nate beeler/ mct campus vantage of the opportunities we have to make sure not to miss out on a chance to “fill” our lives.
