Here at Stockton we had a blood drive on September 21^st and 22^nd.  Sign up tables were set up by the Honors Program in the Campus Center to find anyone willing to donate.  My friends and I were suppose to run one of these sign up tables the day before the blood drive, but the sign up sheets were misplaced and unfortunately we could not run the table. But the minute I saw one of these sign up tables I had to sign up.  I have given blood twice before and I try to give blood whenever the opportunity arises because it is something so easy to give; we constantly are creating more and more blood in our bodies.  Some people do not have this luxury and need more blood.  The blood drive here at Stockton was the best one I have been to so far.  It was fairly quick with not much waiting around in between steps.  The nurses were very nice and took interest in me as a person, which was very comforting because then I didn’t feel like just another pint of blood; I was also a person.  The needle was slightly painful but it was over before I knew it.  They offered pretzels, juice, and water afterwards to the donors to prevent anyone from getting lightheaded.  It overall was a really great experience even with technically losing a part of my body.  I hear there will be another blood drive in the spring and I encourage anyone who can donate to do so.  I know for certain I will be there.
