While a majority of the student population might say that LSEM was a waste of their time, I would advise them to count their blessings.  While Honors LSEM was a great, amazing way to keep in touch with myself and my fellow Honors students every week, it was very hard for me getting into my major because the other LSEM courses were designed for you to meet people in my major.  As a result, I only know of 1 other person who is in the same major as me, so it was very difficult my first semester, let alone my first year, to make friends and get to know anyone outside of Honors.  Attached to this is my Civil Discourse Essay which I wrote reflecting on the November 8th Town Council meeting I attended.
