Recently, there has been an uptick of students who try so, so hard to be nonchalant in their everyday lives on campus. Examples of this nonchalant behaviour include avoiding eye contact with people you know in the dining halls, always leaning back, seeming disengaged in conversation, and suddenly archiving all your posts on Instagram to seem cool and mysterious.
However, a new study shows that pretending to be nonchalant actually takes more effort than just being chalant. Furthermore, researchers confirm that being nonchalant is actually minus aura. Instead of submitting to social pressure and acting rude and weird, let’s normalize being chalant again!
Say hi to the people you recognize, post the music you like, and tell your friends you love them. Being chalant will ensure that you have a better rest of your Spring semester, especially as the sun is back out again.
