My number one value is friendship and I am constantly surrounding myself with friends because I truly value their presence and interaction. Today, I immersed myself in my community in the business school by helping to promote business clubs. During this time, friends would pass and I would interact with them. Today, I also contacted my mother and sister, I value my family greatly and have never been away from them for over 5 months. I would be incredibly lost in a world with out family.

I passed on my chance to goto the gym today because I slept through my alarm and failed to fulfill my duty of meeting with an acquaintance. My integrity suffered because I told him I would be there and did not follow through on my word. Sometimes it requires these shortcomings to realize the importance of upholding a high level of integrity.

Plastic Lid Re-uses

In this blog post about plastic lids from Lifehacker.com, multiple alternatives to recycling plastic lids are discussed. These uses range from separating meat patties to preventing shaving bottles from rusting in your shower.

I consider myself to be somewhat "green" because I try my best to recycle and conserve energy when possible. I know that I am not always perfect but who is?! I found this to be an interesting blog post because people are always finding alternative uses for tons of products and this adds to the list. You never know where else something will work unless you try. I hope people continue to contribute to these lists.
