First, I saw a family friend that I never really see or talk to on facebook posted that she was having the worst day of her life. I felt like I should do something about it even though we never really talk, so I texted her about it. A lot of things were going wrong in her life so I told her I loved her and then made her some brownies and took them over. She seemed really grateful that someone cared about her.
Then, I was talking to an acquaintance I had met the other night, and I knew it was his birthday. He was supposed to go out to dinner with his friends, but it ended up that they all went to Salt Lake and he was by himself. I told my roommates, and we made him a cake and took it over and played cards with him on his birthday. He told me after that I had made it special and he was really glad.
I also made an effort to make friends with or smile at people I didn't know on campus, and I started up conversation with I guy as we walked home. I was amazed how easy it was to make a new friend, and I know I always feel better when someone does that for me. I would really like to continue in this pattern of friendliness and awareness on campus.
