Last year I happened to make some woolen blankets. While the frost hit, I handed it out to fellow homeless people. It was a brief experience and positive. Throughout the winter, I made about dozens people's mornings with a clean new blanket. Yesterday, around a year later, I saw a homeless person walked down the street aimless with one of those blankets. I'm sure I've ever seen him before so that blanket went on a journey and is still providing a comfort to someone else. Now I'm not homeless anymore and thinking of that really brighten my day. I just wish I have some more wool now.

Get along with your roommate
While sharing a dorm with someone else is challenging, it can also be a great part of your learning experience.
◆Clarify your expectations from the beginning. Do you know in advance that the alarm clock bothers you every morning? 1.Let your roommate know about your habits and preferences. Communicating what you need is one of the best ways to remove problems before they become problems.
◆Address problems when they' re little. 2. Are your clothes being borrowed faster than you can wash them? Addressing things that disturb you while they' re still little can help your roommate realize something is wrong. And it is much easier than addressing them after they've become big.
◆ 3. This may seem simple, but it’s probably one of the biggest reasons why roommates experience conflict. Don't you think he'll mind if you borrow his sneakers for a game? Don't borrow, use or take anything without getting permission first.
◆Be open to new things. Your roommate may be from someplace you've never heard of. They may have a religion or lifestyle that is completely different from your own. Be open to new ideas and experiences, especially as it relates to what your roommate brings into your life. 4.
◆Stay open to change. You should expect to learn and grow and change during your time at school. And the same should happen to your roommate.5. Be comfortable addressing things that unexpectedly come up, setting new rules and being flexible to your changing environment.

Can' t you stand the sound of heavy breathing or sipping soup? Does the sound of someone chewing gum next to you make your blood boil? You are not alone, but you are not going crazy-there’s a really scientific reason why.
If you shrink back when someone twists their knuckles(指关节), you might want to get checked out for misophonia, a brain abnormality that creates “a hatred of sounds such as eating, chewing, loud breathing, or even pen-clicking,” TIME reports. Actually, it’s just one of the strange habits that prove you’re smarter than everyone else. Although researchers first coined the term misophonia in 2001, doubt has been thrown on it by the medical community. But thanks to recent research, it can be safely drawn that everyday noises can ruin people’s lives. A team at Newcastle University in the U. K. examined MRI brain scans(核磁共振脑扫描) of those with and without misophonia while playing a range of sounds. The sounds were either neutral (like rain or water boiling), unpleasant (a baby crying or a person screaming), or trigger sounds (the sounds of breathing or eating).
The researchers noted significant changes in misophonia sufferers’ brain activity when they heard a “trig- ger sound.” Turns out those with misophonia have a developmental difference in their brains frontal lobe(额叶) that causes their brains to react harshly to those triggers. It also causes them to sweat and their heart rates to increase.
“For many people with misophonia, this will come as welcome news as for the first time we have shown a difference in brain structure and function in sufferers.” said Dr Sukhbinder Kumar. “This study shows the critical brain changes as further evidence to convince a skeptical medical community that this is a real disorder.”
