Change is a healthy, new experiment for the better. It is a mechanism of adding adventure and spontaneous happiness into your life and the lives of others.

What have you always wanted to try? Do you want to fly on a magic carpet throughout the world to travel like Jasmine? Do you want to swim in the ocean like Ariel? Do you want to help others grow, physically like a doctor or mentally like a teacher or psychologist?

The past 20 days, I have decided to choose one of my childhood dreams to challenge myself to learn something new.

First, I wanted to learn to ballroom dance because I'm so in love with Dancing With The Stars (especially Jordan Fisher and Lindsay Arnold). Then, I decided I wanted to also make a difference in the lives of others.

So I challenged myself to the game of 20 questions. Every day for the last 20 days, I have sat next to a new person in my Biology 171 discussion, in the library, the dining hall, or at my extraordinary sorority, Chi Omega (Hoot Hoot!).

Sitting next to these new friends of mine, I asked them 20 questions about their life, their favorite movies, tests they have coming up, hometowns, food, and other details wherever the conversation led us.

By doing so, I was able to grow my knowledge of others and the diversity of the University of Michigan. We all come together because of similarities we have in common, but learning the details of each other's passions and interests is one so astounding.

No matter where, when, why, how, or what, I am always shook with awe at the experiences shaping my new friends' and old friends' backgrounds.

Without these different backgrounds and different experiences and different passions, there would be no uniqueness that makes each country worthwhile to travel to. There would be no architectual specialties and cultured towns within one city.

What would I do without Greek Islands, Chinese Food on Christmas, Italian carbs and creamy cheese? What would I do without the suggestions of movies from others or restaurants of others?

Without these details of others differences, my views would be limited. Limited like a polar bear stranded on an ice block.

Use limits to provide yourself with feedback on what you need to learn to change. Use this change to grow your view of your surroundings.

I expanded my awareness and now I challenge you to do the same. Incorporate change by picking something new, something detailed, something (blue) and expanding your current perspective.
