Happy 10.11.12 day!

I get asked this question a lot, and got asked this morning also.

“How do you meet one new person everyday?”

Well, there is one way that I do it on campus that is pretty feasible for people to do, no matter their situation.  Usually people will say “oh, well I’m not that out-going,” or “oh, I’m not that social,” and I am always trying to convince people that you don’t need to be like that in order to meet new people!

Yesterday morning, I was ordering a bagel at the ABP Kiosk. Instead of putting my actual name, I put “Happy Wednesday.” That way, when my bagel is ready and they call my name to let me know, everyone’s day is just a little bit brighter. It’s an instant conversation starter, and I got to chat with her a little bit about how her day was going, and hopefully made her have a happy-er Wednesday, which achieved my goal of meeting one new person everyday!

VERY, very easy to do. Try it! If you’re a VT student and you like ABP, try it out next time and let me know how it goes.
