So I was almost that person. You know, the person who has the worst finals week story. With 3 papers due and a test tomorrow, my laptop would not turn on this morning. For some reason, it would just get stuck on the startup page. I had to run to the computer lab just to continue working on my projects. I thought that I had the worst luck in the world. And then...I looked on the ground and found six pennies. Someone probably just had hole in their pocket, but I took it as a sign that things would get better. (Actually, things did get better. My friend just finished fixing my laptop!)
I figure with finals week being the most stressful time of year, there are a ton of other people who are worried about grades and, just like me, they would need a little hope. So I picked up the six pennies and, on my way back to the dorm, I left a penny trail with the pennies face up. I'm hoping that people will find them and take them as a sign, if not of luck, then as a sign of hope that things will turn out ok.
