Going through hardships and moving past it

i liked how you brought up differences in perception of directions. Reminded me of this tedtalk by a UCSD professor about how language shapes the way we think. She mentions that an Aboriginal group in Australia and how they perceive directions, not as left or right, but in cardinal directions, such as east and west

i wonder these differences in perception of physical direction impacts how people view the direction of their lives, if at all. Could be cool to get a linguistics/cogsci student to talk on this subject!

There are about 7,000 languages spoken around the world -- and they all have different sounds, vocabularies and structures. But do they shape the way we think? Cognitive scientist Lera Boroditsky shares examples of language -- from an Aboriginal community in Australia that uses cardinal directions instead of left and right to the multiple words for blue in Russian -- that suggest the answer is a resounding yes. “The beauty of linguistic diversity is that it reveals to us just how ingenious and how flexible the human mind is,” Boroditsky says. “Human minds have invented not one cognitive universe, but 7,000.”

oohh love this idea. feel like the whole idea of 'leaving ones mark' is something that college students can resonate well w/. Feel like we're all at a similar point in our lives where we're tryna figure out what we wanna do, and what impact we can make. being a senior too this really hits ahh - like we have one year left here – what would we wanna do w that??

feel like a fun/more lighthearted marketing idea for this could be our team literally 'leaving our mark' on campus by hiding tedx stickers w/ cool notes/tedtalk titles all over campus (devious lick type shii) or sth haha and inviting our audience to find these stickers and send a pic if they do. Would be cool to see 5 years down the line someone messaging us about a sticker we hid 5 years ago.

lowkey in my feels rn writing this 🥲

Fashion/couture makes me think of self expression. There could be a lot of potential in exploring how people view themselves/the world/ their community.

Could potentially expand weather to culture and how people interpret weather (ex. if its a happy or sad thing. How its explored in literature).

Cons: it seems too literal and restricting. I find it slightly difficult to fully expand to more audiences

I think this is honestly such an adorable idea. I very much agree on how it could be interpreted to be how people want to leave a mark in a micro or macro scale. We could probably pull in people from climate change/other grassroots clubs as student speakers

I feel like there could be a large variety of different talents and interpretations on "leaving a mark" -- thinking about how people can talk about their passions and interests

I love how wholesome this feeling is too :) Seems like people can be super lighthearted and super serious about their topic too

Vibe: mixtapes on CDs with sharpied on names and fun nostalgia

Our lives are mixtapes. The combination of shared experiences, influences, and everything in between.

Thinking about how certain songs evoke certain memories. Or how we replay songs to oblivion. Or how music makes us feel.

"of or with respect to the distant stars (i.e. the constellations or fixed stars, not the sun or planets)"

sidereal time = a timekeeping system used to locate celestial objects

kind of can be similar interpretation as compass but like more vibey + more imagery

also way to incorporate bereal??

what is incandescent? what drives you? what brings light?
- white, glowing, luminous, strikingly bright, radiant, clear
- marked by brilliance especially of expression
- producing light by incandescence

ofc a literal interpretation, but also idiom that refers to coming to terms with reality, or realizations. could also be a good way to incorporate student performances

oh shoots, this is very cool thought

thinking like the many ways in which people sign-off, like it leaves a mark, from someone's signature to the way you say goodbye, to the ways in which you make yourself known

we've come to like craft our identity into something as simple as a word or gesture yet there's a myriad of complexity behind that

* the aspect of touching on legacy is really cool, can also turn into a reflection of where you have come from

Something… fashion related?
Buzz words currently: fit to form  or outfit or grown up hmm

# data[].attributes.body
i love how a lot of fashion is grouped by season. which makes a lot of sense since trends tend to be surrounded by the weather/what people want to wear in that season. So for example - Fall/Winter 2022 or Summer 2023, etc.

feel like this could connect to the "weathered" idea as well :)

weathering a storm, to be weathered, under the weather, people being "fair weathered", many options!

so could be used in talks discussing perseverance, learning how to take care of mental health, etc.!

kinda jumping on the compass and true north thoughts, i love the idea of 'wayfinding'

i know it's super moana-ish, but the idea that you're seeking where you want to be while still knowing where you came from, riding that wave of the present into all that is to come. i love the note that 'what the heck even are directions' cause isn't that the truth -- that we all perceive and understand directions in a different way, some with visuals some with an innate like sense of things or some it's a constant journey to even get started but it's still ok cause we're.. .on our way

# data[].attributes.body
oo i like the idea of something like "true north". especially knowing that some cultures don't use cardinal directions -- what even are directions? what is north to someone that has no reference of what that is? what meaning does direction have if you don't know where you're going in the first place? meaning is found in that process of going, of doing, of pursuing ?? that's the TRUE north ??? idk idk idk

# data[].attributes.body
A "true north", guidance, finding your way, etc. → what guides you? What is your true north? How do you find your way when lost?

Could also be interpreted as the compass that helps draw circles. Can examine how you can measure the distance between points (maybe represent journeys or someone's growth), draw arcs (character growth), and draw perfect circles (looking at cycles, how things connect to each other, etc.)
