I think I'm someone who likes to notice what's going on around me (only if you don't ask that biker that ran me over last semester.) But I think this campus is full of tiny weird things that you'll only notice if you're looking for them. Especially the graffiti, or the chalk on the sidewalks. People put in so much effort drawing things on the campus to promote events or clubs and people just literally walk on by. But recently, I saw this written on the brick wall on Route 1. Apparently, it's been there for a while according to the comments I got on Facebook about it. I just never noticed. Huh.
I think something that I need to work on as a journalist is probably listening more to my surroundings. It is so easy to just be plugged in to our iPhones listening to music than paying attention to (or eavesdropping) on conversations. Staying in tuned to the general feel of society is extremely important, maybe even more important than walking around checking our Twitter feed while walking to class.
