“Passion”

For my passion blog, I have two main ideas:

• “Humans of Penn State” – If you’ve ever heard about the Facebook page, “Humans of New York”, it is a page dedicated to getting to know strangers on a deeper level. They go around to random people and try to capture their “story”. Everyone has a “story”. The unfortunate truth about the world we live in today is that we rarely get a glimpse of what goes on behind a stranger’s face. I would like to find out.
• “Cross Country for a Non-runner” – I’ve always played soccer. It’s my sport. Sure, I’ve had my bouts with just about any sport you can name (lacrosse, volleyball, basketball, tennis, swimming, water polo) . But I’ve always loved soccer. What I never did was running — cross country or track. For whatever reason, when I came to college, I decided the best decision for me to make friends and stay in shape was to join club cross country. What was I thinking? I don’t know how to run without a ball to chase after. Here’s the story of how I learn to run just to run.
