GROUP A: UNDERTAKE A SOCIAL INTERACTION THAT “SCARES” YOU. If you are already “comfortable” with an activity, don’t choose it. Instead, do an activity that imparts in you at least a bit of anxiety.
Say “YES!” to an activity another person, or group of persons, invites you to. Don’t be a “no” person all of your life. Say “yes” to going to an event, or engaging in an activity, that you otherwise would not do. “JUST DO IT!” (Of course, be safe!)
Join a Club or Other Organization (Either On Campus, or in the Community) and Attend At Least One Meeting. Your goal here is to join a club or organization to which you currently don’t belong, and attend the entirety of one meeting. You are NOT required to continue membership, but if you like the club or organization you should do so. It’s a great way to make contacts. An added benefit is that membership in various organizations helps to “fill out” your résumé. For more information on student organizations, visit https://www.wku.edu/sao/registered-student-orgs.php.
Perform on Karaoke night. It’s not that hard! “Just do it!”
Give at Least Three People Compliments On Any One Day. At least one compliment must be given to a male, and one to a female, and the third – that’s up to you!
Perform Three “Random Acts of Kindness” in One Day. For ideas on random acts of kindness you might undertake, Google search the term “random acts of kindness.” There are many random acts of kindness you can undertake that don’t involve you spending money on someone else!
Smile at All You Pass By, and say “Good Morning” or “Good Afternoon” or “Hi” to all the people you pass by, for one entire day – and wherever you are!
Sit with Someone Who Is Eating Alone. In any eating area on campus, simply identify someone who recently sat down and is eating alone. Ask that person if you may join them. Then “interview” that person. Find out more about them. Ascertain, from what they say, if you have any recommendations for them … such as clubs or organizations to join, academic resources they might want to consider using, etc.
Speak Up in a Class – When You Normally Would Not Speak Up. Ask a question or comment upon a statement made by another, or answer a question, voluntarily. (If you are required by your professor to answer a question, give a presentation, or if you are given an assignment that requires your participation, this does not count for this activity. You must go above and beyond the requirements of the class you are in.)
Take a Professor to Lunch. The “Dutch Treat” rule applies – i.e., each person pays for his or her own lunch. Agree to meet at the professor’s office, and/or at a WKU eating facility. Hint: Da Bear likes to eat lunch at RedZone or Fresh Foods, in the Downing Student Union. Just email him and suggest dates/times. Hint: When scheduling a lunch meeting with a professor, have in your mind several questions to ask. For example, ask questions relating to careers, or advice on how to best find an internship or job, for example. Ask about the professor’s background. (Hint: read the professor’s bio, as posted to his/her WKU web page. Also do a “Google search” about anyone you will be meeting with.)
Attend “Project Affect” and Join in Undertaking Community Service. The WKU ALIVE Center for Community Partnerships and the WKU Student Activities' Leadership & Volunteerism sponsor an awareness event called Project Affect. Project Affect is a campus and community engagement fair that offers information on how to get involved through service, as well as engages visitors in hands-on activities reflective of different causes. Approximately 600 students participated last year. Visit http://www.wku.edu/alive/meaningful-service/project_affect.php to learn more. Choose a community organization or campus organization to participate in.
