Former first lady Michelle Obama told first-generation college freshmen to surround themselves with a community to help them survive college.
Mrs. Obama was the first in her family to attend college. She said: "Finding a cohort for yourself and starting to build your community is going to be important. College wasn't meant to do alone."
She spoke at the fifth annual Beating the Odds summit. Reach Higher, an education initiative launched by Mrs. Obama during her husband's presidency, partnered with Twitter and Handshake, a college-to-career network, for the daylong workshop. It included a celebrity panel with La La Anthony from the Starz show "Power" and Daveed Diggs from the blockbuster musical "Hamilton."
Mrs. Obama, 54, who attended Princeton University, remembered how odd she felt her first time on the campus. "It was like a whole new language," she said. "I had never sat in a lecture, I didn't know what a syllabus was."

So...she cheated?
That’s right. They must conform and fit in with other like minded sheep.
>>>(just like some Freepers I know of who are around the 50 year age mark and still couldn’t)<<<
Most FReepers do know the difference between Hanged and Hung though.
This is a somewhat long essay and I know I’ve said before that it’s a VERY IMPORTANT READ. THIS ONE IS! A sample:|
“The time has come to reboot America. The time for talk is done. We should be about the business of forming patriotic cadres, groups and movements—from the national level down to splinter cells. We should do this now. Some of you have no doubt been involved in such activities for some time. Now is the time to go into full battle mode—this is no drill.”
I’m betting, no, PRAYING, that if you read the first few paragraphs, you won’t be able to stop!
Which element of the “5-5-90 Rule” will you occupy?
5% make things happen;
5% WATCH things happen;
90% look around and ask “What the hell happened?”

Are we supposed to believe these dweebs have special knowledge about going to college?
“Michelle Obama Tells Students ‘College Wasn’t Meant to Do Alone’
Michelle wasn’t meant for college.
LOL I have not seen those hahaha.
How about “I half not” vs “I have not”? Yup. Read em’ and almost wept..
Yep. You nailed it; it's a BS degree.
The whole idea is self contradictory. Anyone with the talent for innovation and entrepreneurship wouldn't be studying how to do it. They'd be doing it already.
You beat me to it!
Michelle Obama’s college thesis was titled:
“WHY I HATE AMERICA”.
That’s right. and she didn’t remain a lawyer for long, either.
MO pandering to incompetent “college” level students. We know...say in unison now...”we need a federal program with federal funds”
is this an admission that she had hired help for getting the degrees she has ??
Who? hahahahaha!
My first thought, as well.
Community? To survive college? She obviously wasn’t a STEM major.
what a bunch of snow-flaky nonsense ... college is pretty much like anything else from a social perspective: you don’t know anybody, you meet a bunch of new people, and you make a bunch of new friends ... end of story ...
