“Life is easier when you’re not complaining, worrying, or stressing about drama.” ~ Unknown
It’s dead week at UK. I’ve always found that term to be an oxymoron since the only thing dead about dead week are the students by the time it’s over. But in all their busy-ness they always find time for awesome stuff. Today campus was full of awesome like this enormous butterfly board in front of Young Library filled with (mostly) positive affirmations; kids writing what they’ll do to make the world a better place. I loved it.
The slogan I saw repeated most was “Be Kind to Everyone.” It so warmed my heart. In the short time I photographed the board there were a dozen kids stopped to read, and add their own affirmation. It gives me such hope to see this kind of positivity in the world, and that so many young people would assert themselves for change, well, it gives me that warm feeling down deep in my heart.
In front of Special Collections someone retrofitted a bicycle to run a blender. They filled the blender with fruit, someone would hop on the bike and ride a while, et voila – instant smoothie – which was then distributed among the passers by. Hilarious! These are the things that make the traffic and parking headaches at UK slightly more bearable. There’s a lot of fun to be had at the end of the spring semester, and there’s no shortage of antics and activism for me and my camera. It all makes me happy. “Tell us what you’ll do to change the world.” #inspiring
