The world could use more kindness. There is so much power in being kind to people. The best people are those who radiate positivity and genuinely make you feel beautiful down to your soul. Those are the kind of people you want to surround yourself with. Those are the people who ask you how your day is going and actually care to listen instead of running through the motions of a checklist conversation. I think we all can take a lesson from those positive people.

Being kind to somebody does nothing but good. An act such as smiling at somebody could be the difference in whether their day was good or bad. People remember how you treat them and you have so much more to gain from being a nice person.

Especially as girls, it is easy to get caught up in the latest gossip. What if instead of joining in the negative conversations, you were the one that broke the cycle and didn't join in. Gossip only spreads the negativity and is part of the toxic repetitive cycle of being a girl and it shouldn't be. Put yourself in the place of the person you are gossiping about and reflect on how it would make you feel if you were them. Be the person who makes that girl feel beautiful down to her soul.

"For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone." — Audrey Hepburn

Being kind is a simple thing and so is looking for the good in others. So stop wasting your energy on negative thoughts and negative words towards others. Instead, spend your time loving on people and smiling at people and trying to make a difference in people's lives. The only thing negativity will do is bring yourself down.

Any negative thoughts or words you harbor and use against others do nothing but stunt your growth as a person and belittle those around you. So be the person who radiates positivity and makes others feel worthy. If you fill others with meaningful compliments you will find a positive change in your self-worth as well.

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.

I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
