group project finale

After four months of planing, e-mailing, and facebook messaging, our group finally completed our project for college comp class. Looking back on the project, i honestly can say that it wasn't that bad of a group project. In the begining i thought that it was going to be very difficult trying to change something on campus, especially when it came to the food. I figured "How many people must of tried this, and didn't get anywhere?" I figured that we were the next piece of bait for the beast, and we were all going to go down. Its a good thing that i was wrong, even though i didn't worry about much i figured that we would still have to deal with a lot of trouble from the dining service and its employees.

When we first concluded that we wanted to change the food at south, my first reaction was like "holy crap that sounds expensive." I figured that it would be worth a try and who knows, with all the people that have been complaining about how shitty the food at south was, maybe we could find someway to pull it off. About two weeks later, we realized that changing the food that is offered on campus would be a little to difficult for us. Soon we realized that if we couldn't physically change the food on campus, maybe we could psychologically change the choices that people want to make about their meals. Student awareness was the best possible choice that we could make. It was simple, easy, didn't require that much money or time.

For awareness we decided to make posters and a YouTube video for people to see to hopefully inspire them to change the way we eat. Today our YouTube video  currently has three views, we are defenantly making progress. Some people in the group were so concerned about not having anything done, and failing the project and a lot of negative views. The funny part is that in the end we did fine and we did everything that we could possibly do as a group to make some sort of change on campus.
