Proposal Micalina Abbott
Proposal Micalina Abbott
concept?
Nature is all around you. It has been your whole life and it always will be.
Although you are constantly surrounded by it, do you take the time to notice it?
Do you in fact stop to smell the roses? When was the last time you spent some
time outdoors and got back to nature? We live in a world full of wonders that
Mother Nature has laid out in front of us to explore and discover, yet most spend
their days indoors watching a generic Netflix television show and scrolling
through a mundane twitter feed. Do not get me wrong, I enjoy binge watching
Gossip Girl and scrolling through Twitter late at night just as much as any other
college student, but I ask the question why do people spend most of their time
inside?. Is it due to a hatred of the outdoors, a lack of will power to leave the
couch, or is it because there is a shortage of places to experience nature? They
say that spending time outdoors and really understanding the nature and
environment surrounding you has a positive effect on you, more so then laying in
bed all day watching One Tree Hill, but if you knew that would you spend more
time smelling the roses and less time retweeting?
So What Now?
As my time here at Western grows, I begin to understand the daily struggles of
being a college student such as stress, academic workload, and somewhat a
state of depression due to home sickness. With a place on campus where all of
these issues could be resolved year round my life and the lives of other students
would be improved in an extremely progressive way.
I hope to inspire you to start a movement towards The Western Student
GreenHouse. As a member on campus with many connections it is your duty to
see my recommendation through and help all of the inhabitants on campus
including yourself be a more blissful and pleased community here at Western
Washington University.
