On donating blood

I donated blood earlier today at Blood Centers of the Pacific in Millbrae. It's something I try to do as often as I can because it takes so little effort on my part and can potentially make a big difference in someone's life. I think donating blood is something that everyone should at least consider- it doesn't take a lot of time and it makes you feel good, helping someone. Over my four years in Los Angeles, I gave a gallon to the UCLA Blood and Platelet Center and got a special pin (woohoo...lol). I get that many are freaked out by needles and that's a hard thing to get past, but the truth is that there are a lot of people who need it. Just something to think about...
