Norms

I break some type of norm every day. Yeah, they are folkways but still without even knowing it I break a norm or two. For instance, yesterday I was so tired I was walking on the wrong side of the hallway! Or on Thursday when I decided to eat a tuna sandwich for lunch (many people I sit with think tuna is gross, but I actually think it's really good). Also yesterday I was in a restaurant and my parents gave me this very oversized mug with the Michigan logo on it, and for a picture my grandpa told me to put it on my head! I obliged even though people probably thought I was crazy because no one in their right minds puts a mug on their head in the middle of a restaurant!! Each day we all break a minor folkway, at least in the most interesting of lives. I think subconsciously I do it because I am not a big fan of routine and school is all about routine. If I break a folkway it makes each day different and puts some humor into my day. Therefore, I'm not going to change my ways for society. They may just need to change their ways for people like me.
