Be THAT Person

Being a good person isn't difficult.

Be THAT Person

Be THAT person. Be the person to ask the lady at the drive-thru window how she is doing. You might be who she talks about when she gets home after a long day. Be the person to tell random people you like their hair or shirt. Be THAT person. Be the person to thank those who you see in uniform. They give their lives so you can have yours. Be the person to wave at other drivers on the road. Be THAT person. Be the person to smile when you make eye contact with someone, no matter who they are. Be the person to let others know you care about them. You may be who keeps them going. Be THAT person. Be the person to congratulate others on their accomplishments. Be the person to forgive more. Be the person to notice the small things about others. The small things are what count. Be THAT person. Be the person to say "good luck" and "good job". Encouragement makes other people feel cared about. Be the person to go sit with those who are sitting alone. Be the perso to reach out a hand to those who are in need. Be THAT person. Be the person to say "i'm sorry" first. Be the person to move over on the sidewalk, so other people don't have to walk in the grass to get by. Be the person to pay for someone else's meal, perhaps a complete stranger. Be THAT person.Too often, we get lost in ourselves, our own thoughts. We forget to think about others. We forget that things go on outside of our own bubbles...

Small notions of kindness go a long way. Be kind. Be humble. Be selfless. Be THAT person, because THAT person is pretty awesome!

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.
