where's the co-rec again?
When given this assignment, I really felt a little awkward about it at first. I have never been to the co-rec, and therefore had no clue where it was. When I asked someone where the co-rec was, I swear my face fell off because the look I got was one of utter disbelief. Apparently all college kids are supposed to work out. I missed the memo somewhere along the way...So, on my way to the co-rec I wondered what I would see, and I really had no idea what to expect. I figured there would probably be a relatively even number of males and females and that they would be divided like we had discussed in class. However when I got there, it was predominently male. I went by myself and immediately felt out of place. The few girls who were there were grouped together in twos or threes. It was like any other girl activity, it is nearly impossible to do alone! Because there were so many men there and the girls were all grouped together, I felt out of place and decided the co-rec was to be visited with friends and I left without testing out the whole "college workout regimen". Maybe I'll return someday, but for now, I can understand why it was so segregated. I felt intimitated and I think I would have to be with friends to feel comfortable working out there.
