This past week, Natalie Notz approached me and said she wanted to do something with me for our inspiration post. I thought that was a great idea! I had done a lot of inspirations alone, and I thought doing it with another person would give me an opportunity to be inspired, but also look at inspiration through another person’s eyes. And inspiration, to me, not only comes through activities that I do alone, but by interacting with other people and connecting my ideas with theirs. Therefore, on Wednesday night, Natalie and I decided we were going to make homemade pizza and bake cookies. We didn’t think that was enough though. So, we decided to put our phones away for the whole time. We made pizza, which was a little confusing at first, considering neither of were were really good chefs. However, it turned out to be really good! As we ate, we talked about controversial topics around the world. It was really refreshing to talk about things like this. (My first inspiration post, I talked about being inspired to have conversations like these at Bucknell. I definitely think I’ve been doing this a lot more.) It not only gave me the opportunity to voice my opinions, but it also gave me the chance to look at things from the other side. While Natalie and I didn’t agree about everything, we talked about why we believe in what we believe in. This experience really opened my eyes to how we can initiate such great conversations by just doing daily activities.
