College Priorities



According to collegetimes.us, collegians are easily distracted from priorities through being consumed by a mix of media, internet, competition, and pop culture. But how should college students prioritize? Collegetimes says most collegians see meaningful priorities in this particular order.

1. Health: mind & body-This includes recreational sports, a balanced diet, yoga, and holistic wellness.
2. Relationships: Family, friends, and people you care about.
3. Career and Purpose: this includes long term goals and identity in mind.
4. Fun & Satisfaction: Don’t live for tomorrow, live for today. A recent graduate couple said on TV last night they were in reverse retirement. Put differently, they were gonna wait and work later because they wanted to experience most out of life when they are the most healthy.

There isn’t much room for spirituality or religion in this list except maybe number three. Some collegians would argue that spirituality pervades all 4 meaningful priorities. I see this list playing out here at ASU, however, I would swap #3 with #4.
