Queing
This week I was notified that there was an internship available on campus and I began to think of how students come to college to form lines. You must get in a line to have your ID made, you have to get in a line to get tickets to the football game, you have to stand in line to get your food, to graduate, to take classes. Lines, lines, lines, lines. But who decided that straight lines are the best or that lines were the best way to wait for something. In nature barely anything is in a line except if we make it that way. So naturally our mindset is going to be that of a line, instead of a circle like everything else. Things we make go from production -> to consumer -> to waste, that's it, we do not think any further than that. However, if we thought in forms of circles we would complete the loop and make our waste problems part of the past. Now I am not saying that you should constantly be told to be in a circle around campus or while waiting in line to get food but if we as humans figured out a way to reincorporate ourselves without always being in lines I believe that we would start thinking in whole different ways.
