“Nothing” by Kalliope Carson is a funny story about how most of us have big plans for our summer and then end up doing nothing. Sometimes doing nothing is the best activity we can do.

This story is sort of a metaphor for life; sure you plan to do a lot, but plans are just that – plans, ideas. They have no substance or reality until you follow through and make them real. Sometimes life isn't about filling up your time with “fantastic firsts” but stepping back and watching. Just doing nothing can be great and give you real perspective on life. Kalliope shows this in her narrative.
