Free Balloon Day

I've always had this idea while going to college: Around finals week, everybody is always stressed out, incredibly busy, studying constantly, and worried about the exams and their overall grades. Well, I always thought about passing out free balloons in a free speech area or in front of our student union to kind of take the edge off a little bit. A kind word, some encouragement, a few smiles, and a free balloon could go a long way. And this idea doesn't have to be for college students during finals week only, it can be done at a local park for children, an ice cream shop, or anywhere really. The biggest concern would be following some environmentally safe guidelines. http://www.balloonhq.com/faq/deco_releases.html This can help in instances of a bunch of balloons being let go, and floating away into forever.

Confidence

It is currently the heart of finals week. It has been raining for days and today was the first sight of blue skies for a long time. As everyone races across campus hurriedly to their next dreadful exam, with dark circles under their eyes and stressed spirits, a student in sunglasses stands amidst the grass with a neon yellow frisbee. As I rush past him, we make eye contact and he motions to toss the frisbee at me. I shyly shake my head in fear of not being able to catch it, embarrassing myself, etc. He refuses my rejection, and throws it anyway. I panic a little but I end up catching it, resulting in my relief and a huge smile on my face. As I threw it back, he smiled and said "Did you see how little confidence you had? And you ended up catching that really well! Good Luck on finals!" What a way to brighten your day!
