This week I decided to foster some new inspiration by combining two things that I really enjoy, talking and nature. I asked one of my friends to get sandwiches and bring them to a spot near the river. We drove to Jersey Mikes, ordered two subs and then began discussing possible outdoor places to sit that might have a nice view. I decided to just drive around while we discussed and in the midst of that we drove by a few benches. My friend suggested that we just pull over to eat there. I liked the spontaneity of the location and agreed. As we sat I explained the premise of the project and why it is actually beneficial. My friend and I’s conversation spiraled into a very interesting discussion or the many elements of this class in comparison to other majors.
While it is not unusual for my friends and I to grab lunch together it is somewhat unusual for us to go out of our way to find a spot outside, of campus to just sit. I think this inspiration activity was beneficial because it is a realistic activity that I can start to do more. I also liked how this inspiration incorporated other people because I think we often think that we need to be alone in order to actually think”.
