Inspiration For Kindness

People can be cruel –– gnawing with fangs and claws at easy targets, digging away at a person until he or she becomes broken. We see it all the time –– in real physical encounters and in the virtual realm of the internet. We hear about children being bullied at the playground, cancer survivors being tormented on social media, mentally disabled being ridiculed, and so much more. It's nothing new, but it's nonetheless wrong and should not be commonplace. When this vicious behavior is routine, it snowballs into the bigger catastrophes of our world. In order to even attempt to rectify our tumbling morales, we need to start on the small scale.

As Ellen recently said in her acceptance speech for a humanitarian award, "I want everyone to know that we all really, really love one another. Deep down we all love one another, and we need to get back to that." We do love each other at the core because we are all human.

We have an innate attachment to everyone in the human race because we are made of the same dust, the same stars, the same compassion. And although sometimes it seems easier to to just care about ourselves, here are 13 quotes to inspire us to implement kindness; to reroute us back onto a global path of altruistic endeavors. In the end, we will all benefit.

1. On limitless possibilities

2. On the mystery of everyone's intricate lives

3. On our own success

4. On a universal language that breaks down barriers

5. On the vitality of love

6. On fashion that never goes out of style

7. On who you should be kind to

8. On never underestimating the power of love

9. On being beautiful

10. On knowledge


11. On riches


12. On offering a helping hand

13. On regrets

"You will regret many things in life, but you will never regret being too kind or too fair."
-Brian Tracy

So, be kind. Leave footprints of love wherever you go. Radiate hope for a better world.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
