dining chairs 2013 image
Mitchell
My campus has a beautiful room with floor to ceiling windows and a huge open space that is virtually abandoned since we built a new student union building. It's a shame it goes to waste, so what are some cool ideas for such a space? Just so you know, it is a small liberal arts college in Northern Minnesota. It would be fantastic if it focused on recreational fun versus dining options or offices.
Answer
Hi - your idea sounds brilliant and think this would be good for everyone on the Campus :)
To focus on the recreational fun versus dining options or offices/homework etc etc - your first plan is to see if you can possibly get people to donate some tables and chairs because this will be the biggest expense. Or, you could try to get something together and ask around the neighbour -hood, parents, teachers etc etc to perhaps help in purchasing some - even if you can look in 'thrift' type stores, second-hand stores etc etc. It doesn't matter if they don't all match as it will add to the 'quirkiness' of the room. No matter what - it will cost money and quite a lot, but I am trying to give you ways of getting the money together.
The table and chairs will be used as either leisure, homework or dining.
You could perhaps have a 'bring and buy' sale - put posters around the Campus - so everyone knows what is happening and tell them you are trying to raise funds for this 'Cool Project' :)
You could also perhaps purchase 'bean-style bags' for part of the leisure area. Perhaps something like these?

Perhaps a couple of Dart Boards and some playing cards and a few other games that you might want? The Dart Boards could be put in an area away from where people will be sat about and any games you can get could be put away in an old wardrobe/cupboard - which again, someone might be getting rid of one - ask around.
You could perhaps have a table tennis table?
You might be able to have a separate area that a bar could be put in - obviously just for soft drinks ;)
Perhaps some of the students might like to contribute by making stuff for the walls, some cushions etc etc. Artwork could be made either using wallpaper, wrapping paper, material etc etc with some blank canvases and could enough material/paper etc to go around to the back of the canvas and just staple it at the back. Have a look here for some ideas:

Probably someone could make some pinboards?

Whatever you do you must involve all the students to either making something or to help get all the stuff together that you will need and, of course, raising funds. It will not be easy, but it is achievable without spending too much money if everyone helps in one way or another. You need to have someone to do all the organising and by the sounds of it you will be good at doing the organising and organising everyone else.
You need to sit down with, say probably 6 of you and do a list of stuff that needs to be done and to give each one a job to do - whatever that may mean.
You will also probably need to paint the walls and I would paint it in bright colours i.e. red and white or something or purple - chat between you to see what colours you like:)
Anyway, I hope I have given you a few ideas and good luck in organising this as it will be quite a big project but am sure you can achieve what you set out to do :))

Answer
i hope these tips would help you.:)
Weight loss tip 1: Decide how much weight you need to lose - Most people start their weight loss journey by claiming to be xyz kilos overweight. This isn't a healthy way to project or aim for weight loss. Calculate your desired weight against your height by using reliable methods like the BMI, and set a healthy weight loss target. This is often half the battle won.
Weight loss tip 2: Time management - This is quite often overlooked. Decide which part of your day will be dedicated to exercise, when in the week you will stock up on groceries, and when you will do the cooking - all within your current work and home life routine. If you don't do this now, your days will be rushed and unplanned, and you won't be able to sustain your weight loss efforts.
Weight loss tip 3: Stock your kitchen - Keep your house well-stocked with fruits, vegetables, healthy meats, grains, cereals, spices, and flavourers. Follow our tricks to healthy cooking, cooking vegetables for the week, and low-fat cooking posts to understand how best you can stock your kitchen with healthy and delicious ingredients. All of this will go into helping the next step - cooking healthy meals at home.
Weight loss tip 4: Eat healthy homecooked meals - Whether it's you who's cooking, a family member, or house help, ensure that every one practises healthy cooking methods, and ingredients. Ask any person who's lost weight the healthy way, and you will always hear about how healthy homecooked meals were a big reason behind it. Use less oil, low salt, fresh produce, and you'll start seeing results in no time.
Weight loss tip 5 : Start a cardio + weights workout - A healthy weight loss programme is incomplete without a good exercise routine, and weight training mixed with cardio is the best way to lose weight. Of course, variations and forms exist, but any workout that stresses on muscle tone and increased heart rate will always help you lose weight and keep it off. You can either start a home workout today, or rely on gyms for fitness training.
Weight loss tip 6: Alter your snacking habits . Set those French fries aside, skip that aerated drink, and ban those unhealthy deep fried samosas. Explore the healthy snack world and you will find several appetisers, party snacks, movie snacks and meal accompaniments that'll satisfy every craving of yours.
Weight loss tip 7: Have at least one active hobby - It isn't sufficient to rely on just 30 to 60 minutes of physical activity per day. Moving from bed to office chair, and back to bed, isn't a healthy way to live. Buy a motion sensor gaming console that lets you enjoy social games with friends and family, plan weekend trips, clean your house once a week, dance, play sports, the list is endless. Get out of the coffee shop and dining table rut, and you'll have fun along with the healthy weight loss
Weight loss tip 9: Drink plenty of water - You've known that your body relies heavily on water for all important bodily functions, and yet you skimp on drinking adequate quantities of water every day. Well, it's time to stop that. Check out some exciting ways to make water interesting and you'll be packing it away in no time. Do not forget to carry a water bottle to your workout, and take a few sips after every 2-3 minutes of exercise.
Weight loss tip 10: Plan healthy vacations - Why go all the way with healthy weight loss, when one tiny vacation will just come along and topple it all? Healthy vacations aren't impossible. Take a look at how you can eat smart on a holiday, and then at bodyweight workouts that you can carry with you wherever you go, to understand how to holiday right. Above all, remember that these are lifelong habits that'll help you stay fit forever and not short term weight loss quickfixes
good luck.
