With Little 5 over, things quieting down around campus, and Easter right around the corner, I can tell that the school year is wrapping up. Preparations for finals have begun and my to-do list for the year is getting shorter. My last packages of the year came in featuring the most addicting cookies ever from my sister, and common Easter basket treats from the “Easter Bunny” (thanks parents!) My newfound love for Vitamin Water has replaced my former addiction to Arizona Ice Tea, and I just registered for fall classes. I thought my luck for the year had burnt out.
WOOHOO! I WON! Or at least so said the email I received last Sunday. Back in January I took the National Survey of Student Engagement or NSSE. The survey is given each year with a goal to determine the level of student involvement in activities and academics. This year IU was one of 761 schools polled and I was one of 4,419 IU students to participate (393,630 total).
IU was smart about the survey, leaving it completely optional. They did however automatically enter you into drawing for any one of numerous prizes from an IPod Touch to free movies if you participated. Funny how fifteen minutes of my time that I took during my physics class (yay multitasking!) resulted in free stuff!
I opened up the email to find I won five wooden nickels at
Bloomington Bagel Company. I had
no idea what a wooden nickel was, absolutely none. Turns out they’re “coupons”
for a free naked (without cream cheese) bagel, or 95 cents off your total
order. I love bagels and go to BBC way too much, so this was the perfect prize!
I’ve got a wooden nickel! (and yes, it's better than a golden ticket...) :D
