LITTLE EXTRAS Midday surprises brighten gloomiest of afternoons I was running late. That snooze but- ton was working too well that morning. 1 grabbed by books, headed out the door and got to the IF stop just in time to jump on the crowded bus. As I stood in the aisle clinging to the bar overhead, I dreaded the rest of the ride towards campus. Excuse me, I heard someone say. Turning slightly, I saw the guy behind me stand up and offer me his seat. Thanks, I said. If he only knew how much that little gesture had turned around an otherwise awful morning. Everyone had their bad days, but some days were worse. Imagine getting home at the end of a long day to find your key no longer fit in the door. For Eric Nelson, accounting lunior, this was a reality. MM I. CALL: A mailbox overflowing with cor- cspondence cheers Mischelle Creel, pharmacy emor ROSK IN BLOOM: Ron Patterson (clivers flowers to Jennifer Torbett, law student, in Valentine ' s Day. The manager changed the locks on everybody ' s apartment without telling anyone. I waited two hours for him to get home, Nelson said. A night on the town was cut short when rain doused Dana Edelen ' s plans. I ran out of gas on the way to a party, and it was raining, said Edelen, business junior. Although it often seemed students were prime targets for a bum deal, the simplest thing could turn the whole day around. An unexpected letter, package or phone call provided students with the perfect pick-me-up. For Dana Giles, data processing senior, a Valentine ' s card perked her up one February after- noon. It was very sweet. It blew my mind, actually, Giles said. Taking a closer look, students found that anyone could chase gray skies away. A friend that I don ' t see regular- ly dropping by to say hello, would help make Nelson ' s day. According to Michelle Boyd, special education senior, it was a boost when, somebody goes out of their way to do something for you. Bad days seemed to be a dime a dozen to students as homework and bills piled up, but little bits of serendipity were not hard to come by. Gifts and big achievements were not so important. It was the little things that meant a lot. by Amy Kysela
