{Human Wrecks}

Sean wanted me to tell all of you that he coined that phrase....

Now that that's out of the way...

Everyday I am amazed at how few human wrecks there are! Walking between classes, sharing the walkway with literally thousands of students it's a miracle people don't die out there! Obviously there are some bumps here are there, but it's really not that bad.

Think about it next time you are walking in a crowded area. You are monitoring other people's actions - how fast they're going, what direction, how much space they take up, etc. Based off of that you are planning your course of action. Slipping in between people as you hurry to class... it's amazing.

You know what causes accidents and clogs? People being inconsistent. If you have your eye on that person ahead of you, lock in the position, speed, and direction, and plan on passing them on the left and all of a sudden they make a left turn! Collision! They gave no sign of wanting to turn and it totally threw you off! Or how about when 2 people walking in opposite directions see each other and break out into "OH MY GOSH!!! I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN FOREVER!!" and they suddenly stop! All of a sudden you run into their backpack. Or they pull out their cell phone and start texting which dramatically reduces their speed.

It's these types of inconsistencies that cause human wrecks and clogs. If everyone was just consistent then there wouldn't be wrecks. Just keep up your pace, be obvious about the direction you're headed, and pull to the side if you need to stop.
