This is the extent of studying at Geisel.
Haha, just kidding. I do get my work done but it’s SO boring, and I feel like every other student who holes themself up in some corner of the library and studies all day. It gets tiresome. This keeps me sane for those few moments to relish in a little bit of creativity, make someone smile, and do something productive.
I’m waiting until I get enough of these sticky notes so that I can post them all over campus or wherever I go. I’ve stuck a few some random places so far and some are no longer there. I’d like to think that it makes someone happy by seeing it, even if they crumple it up and throw it away afterwards.
When I was in high school, someone put a piece of paper with the quote “Don’t frown because you don’t know who is falling in love with your smile.” To this day, I remember it (and have kept the small slip of paper) because even the simple act of writing such a cliche quote can have a positive impact. It didn’t make me want to smile more with the hopes that someone was falling in love with my smile (take a moment to laugh at the absurdity), but it represented a small bit of hope somewhere with the intention just to brighten up someone’s day.
I hope that if anything, it does make one person smile while reading it, even if it’s to say “how stupid is that?” I have yet to see it fail.
