Biggest Dork

I grew up in a family of massive nerds! My dad in particular never wasted an opportunity to geek out- and my obsessive childhood crush on Luke Skywalker and years spent doing math worksheets proved how much of an influence he had on me. In order to maintain his status as The World’s Biggest Dork (which I say with all the affection in the world), my dad needs a place to get all his geeky paraphernalia from- and his primary source for the ever-growing stream of miscellaneous nerdy objects has always been the internet. It is commonplace in my household for a package from Woot.com, or ThinkGeek, to arrive on our doorstep. And when he opened up the brown cardboard box of glory one day and handed something to me, I was so excited! I ripped off the protective layer of bubble wrap, and there it lay, in all its beauty and grace: The Origami-A-Day Calendar. The Origami calendar gave me a new design to tackle every day- and I relished it. It got to the point where my desire to fold Origami was borderline obsessive; I checked out
This is where the markers come in- you can draw as much or as little as you want! However, I would like to remind you to be gentle when decorating and handling your box, as it is made out of paper. And you’re done! Doing origami like this is a fun and easy way for you to pass the time, and gain patience. There’s so much more I could say about origami, but for now I must conclude. Hopefully, you all know how to fold an Origami Blitz Box- and can fold almost any other design- by identifying your materials, folding your design, and customizing it. I’d like to wrap up my speech with a quote by Joseph Wu: “Creation out of nothing. I often say that origami is as close as you can get to that. It's a piece of paper. Beyond that, you don't need anything else.” Hopefully, today I taught you how to make something out of nothing, and you can utilize that skill whenever you so desire in the future. Thank you for your
