Be Kind, Randomly Be Kind

Random Acts of Kindness is not a new idea to many people, but it should be an idea that is constantly reminded to everyone. This idea celebrates the good that everyone is capable of and the impact people are able to have to have in others. Random acts of kindness are done in many forms and has the ability to touch many, either by notes, compliments, smiles, holding doors, along with so many other possibilities.

There has been many campaigns that have worked on the idea of random acts of kindness. Many take the forms of pay it forward, such as Starbucks which allowed its customers to pay for the person behind them in line. Another example of these campaigns are the commercials on TV that highlight the idea to Pass it On. They highlight so many areas of positive messages, kindness and motivation that really can empower individuals.

The one frontier that needs to be addressed is social media for kindness. This platform fosters so much development for people to connect, for business, events, and more. But it lacks a safe environment for people to express kindness as hate can easily over shadow all the good that is happening. The power of people to share information to the world without a filter is dangerous. The promotion of random acts of kindness is a very unique challenge to take on in social media as there is so much information being pushed through on social media. Lets be the generation to stop this and to work to a social media campaign of random act of kindness.

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.

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.
