Despite the fact that I got zero work done tonight, I did head over to the RPAC for some delicious pasta served by my peers. I met a friend of mine for dinner and really enjoyed the meal. But although I was helping out the cause by donating some money, I felt somewhat guilty by eating a great meal when so many in Haiti don't have anything to eat. At dinner, I heard people talk about how they aren't letting people fly in. It makes me worry that survivors and relief workers won't have the resources necessary to do help. It all makes me so incredibly grateful for the life I am able to live.
Circumstances such as these cause me to reflect on just how short life is. And yes, it's an overused cliche. But really, I wonder what would happen if we stopped getting caught up in the little things and looked at the bigger picture once in a while. Maybe we should take the time to readjust our bearings and refocus on our goals. Just like any instrument used in a lab, we as humans and as Greeks could undergo a recalibration every so often. That way we can continue working at our highest potential, doing the best that we can for ourselves and for our community.
But on a lighter note, I was super impressed with the way things turned out tonight. Everyone who helped out did an awesome job. It is great to see a large university such as ours coming together and working as one to really make a difference in the lives of others. I am so proud to be a Buckeye!
