    My challenge is still going well! I have yet to complete my one time actions but i will hopefully get to them this week sometime. One thing that is frustrating me though is recycling on campus. I feel like no one really understands how to recycle and they chose to ignore the recycling efforts. I just get a little upset when i put effort into my recycling but the recycling bit is full of trash and therefore can no longer be recycled.
