Reflection

Leaving the AIMM building to start the scavenger hunt, Elizabeth and I were both nervous about approaching people. We weren’t sure how people would react to being interviewed and posted on Twitter. After approaching a few people, it was easy to see that our peers were willing to help us. They were kind, and willing to be posted on twitter for an assignment. Most of the students we talked to that were part of several different activities on campus were passionate about the organizations they represented. They were willing to speak about their activities, and were proud to represent them (even for such a small class assignment).

The most challenging part of the assignment quickly became finding people and coming up with creative ideas. When looking for fun facts about TCNJ or a professor on the street, we had to come up with ideas on how to collect the information we needed. Being freshmen at the school, we still aren’t completely familiar with every part of campus. When completing the academic part of the scavenger hunt, we relied on previous observations we made while walking to class in Bliss Hall. While the scavenger hunt was intimidating at first, Elizabeth and I became more comfortable approaching people and it became a really good experience.
