Compliments…

Everyone loves compliments. I have noticed of late how important a compliment is, especially when you are having a bad day at work or school. You could be pissed off or sad for any reason, known or unknown, but have you ever noticed how a compliment changes your mood instantly? I have tried this and I want every person reading this to try it out and check what happens post compliment process.

Process:

  • Find a person at work (or at school or in a mall) who looks extremely dull and extra sad for the day.
  • Go to them and just say, “Hey, nice shirt,” or “Nice shoes,” or “I like your style.”
  • Remember to say this with a slight smile just like this :)



  • Check the smile on that person’s face instantly.

Result:

You will notice that you have done your good deed for the day. That smile on the face of a sad person would make your day. Even if your day sucks, don’t wait for a compliment. Compliment others and you’ll see the difference for yourself.

Compliment others not only for their appearance but for other good things. Learn to appreciate actions, encourage them, support them and make people around you happy. You never know what the other person is going through, all you could do to help is compliment them. I have noticed that this trick works on all kinds of people: social, anti-social, outgoing, sad people, happy people and all kinds available in the society. :P

Go out today and try it for yourself. You never know, a compliment could help you get the person you have been waiting for all this time. Start complimenting and start being happy. Find happiness in little things of life. :)


P.S: Try at your own risk. Don’t blame me if the consequences turn out to be something totally different.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
