Last week at this time I was dreading the next day. One of the biggest days of my life...starting college. Worst case scenarios were racing through my head: not being able to find my classes, tripping and falling, etc. Everything went fine though, and all my worry was for naught. I found my classes with no problem, and haven't tripped and fallen, looking like a turtle on its back (yet). Here are some of the weeks highlights.
1-Made my first college friend. Her first reaction when I sat next to her and said 'hi' was "You're going to talk to me!? That's awesome. No one seems to talk to each other here." I appreciated that someone else besides me noticed this fact.
2- Music is my favorite class. We watch a lot of music videos. And the teacher is cool. She still has enthusiasm and thinks she is going to instill the love of music into every one of her students. Something that none of my other teachers have.
3-Most people spend the time between and before classes texting and playing games on their phones. It drives me crazy. There is another human being sitting or walking next to you, can you acknowledge my existence? Be willing to say hi and talk to me? Be social? If you're lucky enough to sit or walk next to me, I will be friendly and ask how your day is going. The least you can do is smile or say 'good'. If you're really awesome you can continue the conversation. It will make me super happy, so maybe you can count it as your good deed of the day.
4-One day a dude was walking around campus backwards. So I went and talked to him. Because if you ever see someone doing something random like walking around school backwards, you should go say 'hi' to them. They're most likely an interesting person. In my case it was true. He wanted to see people's reactions. And maybe get some extra-credit.
So yeah, pretty much sums up my exciting week. I hope life is going beautifully for anyone who reads this, and remember to acknowledge other members of the human race. Because people are generally cool.
