Impact

Day 1 - Hugs...

I decided to continue the hug impact project done by Lauren and Charles last Monday night... I'm normally a person who does not like to hug often, and my close hug-full friends know that, so I decided to go against my antihugging.

This did have an impact on most of my friends, most were happy and surprised. A hug is a wonderful thing (I just have a space issue at times, when it comes to certain people...) and through a hug you can make someone else happy.

Day 2 - Personal Garbage Part 1

Day two was part of an attempt of a collaborative project. It started off as a few different ideas and eventually turned into the idea of collecting our own waste created in a day. The idea was the collect the garbage created, and walk around the entire day with this trash, as a reminder of our waste creation. I kept the trash in my backpack, which consisted of empty water bottles, wrappings, to a decent stack of paper which was a result of a class project. Since I am a resident on campus, I did not produce as much trash as I thought I would have, which is a good thing... This continued on to part 2.

Day 3 - Personal Garbage Part 2

The second part of this collaborative project was to gather up in Erskine approx 11:30 AM, and collect all of the trash together with the other participating students. The trash was separate into what could be recycled, and what couldn't. We did not have a decent turnout as expected but we did come up with a display of garbage and talked with a few people regarding the display. We had then recycled our trash before heading out.

Day 4 - ...and Kisses (Hershey Kisses)

I spent my last day of impact by handing out candy to people that I ran into throughout the day. It is really nice to see people get happy when receiving something as small as a piece of chocolate, then again a really small act of kindness can make a person's day, especially if they are having a tough one. I do plan on continuing this part on Monday as I do have a lot of kisses to hand out, (and probably some more hugs.)
