It would have been nice to have something organized at the Davie Campus in Broward which is where I attended most of my classes. Although, not as many students attend there after the pandemic. I went to the Duffy’s in Ft. Lauderdale for Thursday’s game, but no FAU event there organized. It was just some older people sitting at the Bar. I’m older, so no problem, just not as engaging. I just don’t know what this means for FAU financially. I got no help with much of anything while attending, but many students work while going to classes so it’s hard to get together like this. I try to go to Job Fairs, but a BA Degree isn’t helping me much. Maybe I’m just lonely. Thanks for reading.
