Do all things with kindness.

30 Days Of Kindess Challenge
We Heart It

Today, I did something kind. I'm sure my random act of kindness turned that kids frown upside down. I learned that it is important to do something kind for someone else and make their day. Whether or not that person was kind to you in return. Kindness is a characteristic that is more often than not mistaken for weakness which it is not. It can only make you stronger.

Here are a list of ideas you can choose from. Hope you brighten someone’s day today!

  1. Write and send someone a handwritten letter
  2. Compliment a stranger
  3. Send paper thank you notes to five different people
  4. Pay for the coffee, the toll or the bus fare for the person behind you
  5. Let the person who seems rushed cut in front of you
  6. Hold the door open for someone
  7. Help people move
  8. Send your friend a letter
  9. Go through your things and give freely to those in need
  10. Call everyone you know and tell them you love them
  11. Help someone whose car has broken down
  12. Bake a cake for the birthday person
  13. Let someone else have your seat on the crowded bus, light-rail or subway
  14. Do the task no one else wants to do
  15. Listen to someone’s life story — yes, the whole thing
  16. Put money in someone else’s parking meter that’s about to expire
  17. Cook or buy a meal for a homeless person
  18. Donate to your local charity
  19. Leave a generous tip
  20. Take positive small talk to strangers
  21. Take your friend's dog for a walk
  22. Send someone a small gift anonymously
  23. Offer to pick up groceries for an elderly neighbor
  24. Leave your favorite book in a public place with a note
  25. Donate books to your local library
  26. Volunteer at a soup kitchen
  27. Pay for the drinks on the next table at a restaurant
  28. Treat a friend to the movies for no reason
  29. Put a flower on your neighbor’s porch
  30. Give free hugs

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
