The Walk-n-Wave

10/07/2010

I have a proposal! I want to make IUE one of the friendliest campuses in the state, maybe even the nation!

I think we could do this real easily!  It would be simple.  We would start by doing a simple thing.  All we have to do is wave to each other.

Yes I know this would be weird at first but eventually it could be nice.  If everyone would just wave and say hello and express a little interest in each other then the campus would be a little nicer.

Now I am not saying IUE is a mean, horrible, cruel place.  Not by far.  IUE is a very friendly place already.  Everyone is truly concerned about your good for the most part.  Now grant it, I have ran into some people that just are plain mean.  But like I said, I feel like everyone does care about how you feel and how you are performing in classes and other aspects of your life.

This plan of mine is just to make our campus that much nicer.  So here is the main plan.  Whenever you are on campus and you are walking in the middle (the quad) then make sure you wave and say hello to everyone you meet while you are walking.  Purdue has something similar to this called the Hello Walk.  I guess they can come up with good ideas too.  Every time Purdue students walk along this specific sidewalk in the Memorial Mall they are encouraged to wave and say hello to everyone they encounter along the way.  I propose we do something similar only we do it anytime we are in or around the quad.

I look forward to waving and greeting everyone tomorrow and from here on out!  Please comment on any other ideas of how to make IUE friendlier or your thoughts on this idea!

Tune in for the next post!
