Filling My Inbox With Listserv
I have to say that lately I've been getting lots of mail from IU listservs I signed up for earlier last semester. I'm usually excited to see that I've got new mail in my inbox, but sometimes I get annoyed if it's just page after page of emails from various listservs around campus. I've received at least 100 emails from the Health Professions and Prelaw Center letting me know about opportunities around campus that may interest me. I oftentimes get these same emails again on the Chemistry Direct Admit Listserv run by the Chem undergraduate councilor. I do appreciate being updated on important dates and meetings, but receiving seven emails from these sources each day becomes a little excessive. Add on top of these the numerous pieces of mail I receive from the Honors College (primarily from Barbara Edwards), Circle K, and Operation Smile Student Association, my inbox sometimes "overfloweth" with information. I feel really stupid complaining about these listservs. Honestly, if I were not a part of them I would miss out on lots of important reminders sent out by the organizations I'm involved in. Sometimes it's nice, however, to receive a piece of mail addressed individually addressed to me. These messages are my favorites.
