I see a ton of posts on here about people who feel like they don't fit in, have no friends, are depressed, notice attractive people but don't have the balls to step out of their comfort zone and say "Hello", etc. With the advancements in technology, I really feel as though we're losing human connection and are allowing social media to defy who we are as individuals. For this reason, I'd like to start a movement to increase interaction and brighten someone's day. I CHALLENGE students at CVTC to approach 3 people you normally wouldn't interact with, say "Hello", introduce yourself and find out the highlight of their week. Then, in the comment section below OR in a new (NON anonymous) thread, tell us the names of the 3 people you met, one thing you liked about him/her and what was the highlight of their week. At the end of your post please nominate 3 of your Facebook friends to do the same. In the spirit of the challenge, please keep your posts and comments positive.
Example post: I was nominated to the Meet ad Greet Challenge by: _______. Today I met a guy in class with great hair named John, a girl with a contagious laugh in the cafeteria named Amanda and a good looking guy in the parking lot named Matt. The highlight of John's week was when he found $20 in his laundry. The highlight of Amanda's week was making it to class on time every day. The highlight of Matt's week was getting done with work early on Saturday night so he could go out. I nominate Heidi, Paul and Jason to the Meet and Greet challenge.
Approaching people won't seem as awkward if everyone's doing it and the challenge gives people a great "excuse" to talk to someone they normally wouldn't have the courage to talk to and hopefully start a friendship.

You have a higher chance of getting accepted into Iowa State University than getting your confession posted here

I hope that one day he comes back. It is the worst thing to be forever in love and knowing that I can't have him..

I just transferred here this semester and I have found it very difficult to make new friends and to fit in on campus. I'm a junior girl. Anybody up to making a new friend?

I'm such a loner that in my sophomore year of high school (I am currently a freshman), I bought another Game Boy color so I could trade Pokémon with myself. I also bought another Game Boy Advance so I could do the same with the Game Boy Advance Pokémon games.

I would love to meet some new people! Could use some more friends who dont just want to drink 24/7! I understand we're in college, and yes, drinking is fun sometimes, but there are so many other things to do! :)

The UWEC pamphlets said that "It's only a 10-15 minute walk from one end of campus to the other." ...I call complete bullcrap.
