Actions that Follow You

This blog post may seem to be a bit off topic to some, but I feel as though it is of importance. Last night many people across campus watched the Patriots win the Superbowl. For most this was an exciting historic win, and so as years previous, UNH students took to the streets. The behavior I saw there seriously appalled me, not by everyone but by enough people. It was as though certain people forgot who they were or what the normal rules of society were and they felt as though they could do whatever they please without owning up to what they were doing. I saw cars get smashed, trees get destroyed and more importantly, I feel, physical harm. I myself was a victim of this last night, and it is what has got me thinking. One day, soon, we are all going to be in what is called "the real world" and actions like these will come with severe consequences. Not only can jobs fire you for such atrocious behavior, but new jobs can refuse to hire you. Most jobs have a code of conduct involved. It is to make sure that wherever you are and whatever you're doing, you are representing your workplace in a good manner. A company doesn't want bad publicity due to their employees, just like UNH doesn't want bad publicity due to their students. I feel as though it is important to note that your actions will follow you around. It is time that we as a community and a generation grow up. Our future employers will expect better from us, and our school and our peers deserve better from us. Rant over.
