Small Things in a Big World
When college begins, the first things you notice are the big things. A new home, a new life, and new expiriences. But I notice the little things. Like tongs. Everybody uses them, but they mess up the burgers, making it impossible to add all of the condiments. So, I ask people why. The typical answer is an akward silence, and an askance glare. But some people answered me. "Because the guy in front of me does." That made me notice that people behind me didn't use the tongs, just because I don't. What could this mean? My answer: We are subliminal lemings. You'd think that we'd learn better than to follow strangers around now that we're in college.

Zaven -- following the small things/ trivial is an interesting approach. Although, you will need to be thinking of your definitions of small. Helpful to this will be posting longer blogs.
