Positive Peer Pressure - Students' View

            Students at Michigan State University say they experience a lot of positive peer pressure. Mechanical Engineering freshman Adam Doody said that the guys on his floor in Wilson Hall keep each other busy by playing volleyball, Frisbee, skateboarding, long boarding, and having Smash Bros. video game tournaments.

            “It’s not that we were ‘good kids’ to start off with, we just found that now that we’ve formed this relationship we’re too preoccupied to go out,” said Doody.

            Doody said that having friends and keeping busy is underrated in keeping away from things like alcohol and drugs.

            “Our goal isn’t to keep each other from [substances], it’s just a result that happens naturally,” Doody said.

            An associate of Lambda Chi Alpha, Noskey said that even the fraternity is a source of positive influence.

             “The guys are really positive and want us to get involved with the community. They don’t force us at all to do anything; it’s all personal choice,” he said.

            Computer Engineering freshman Dakotah Lytle said that while he’s been at MSU he’s experienced a lot of people doing homework, not procrastinating, choosing healthy things to eat, and playing sports instead of videogames.
