Let's make a difference!

So, yesterday I skipped The Dark Knight Rises and Mcdonald's to help save the environment.
Yes, its a big sacrifice, particularly the Mcdonald's part. You'd know if you have ever had food in NLU-J, or any other college actually.
So there I am, at the end of a long, sweaty day, covered in a layer of grime and other assorted things I'd rather not talk about, legs hurting, back breaking, dance practice to go to, and annoying, melodramatic batch mates to deal with, when I realized I'm actually going to be doing this for the next 5 years.

At the end of the day it didn't matter how sick I was of eating Bhindi swimming in oil, or how I really really wanted to watch TDKR, or how frustrating it was to clean up in a place where people just don't give a fuck, I just really felt great to actually contribute, to begin somewhere. And the level of dedication that everybody showed, it just blew me away. I swear it, I have begun to see my classmates in an all new light.

I watched TDKR today, and ate enough burgers to stay on my thighs for the next 10 years at least, but I know I won't have enjoyed it so much had I skipped the Clean Up Drive.

BIG BIG shoot out to M.A.D - Making a difference, by being the difference.
