In society, it seems as though people are quick to judge and demolish a person with their words rather than spread positivity and lift someone else up, so I wanted to encourage you today to make a change.

There's a lot of negativity in this world, but that doesn't mean you have to be negative too.

For every good thing you see about a person online, why are there a hundred other hate accounts to try and bring that person down for no good reason at all?

We have become a society so money hungry and quick to seek attention that often times we will do anything to make ourselves feel better about ourselves, even if that means tearing someone else down during the process. In some way,s I feel like it's human nature to always want more, especially in America, but wanting 'more' doesn't have to equate to being mean or rude to someone else.

Try to choose happiness and positivity over jealousy and/or sadness. There is room for all of us at the top, so there's no reason for us to try and claw at one another and tear each other down to reach success and happiness. In fact, in my experiences, it's easier to accomplish goals when you have a solid group of people around you cheering you on and supporting you on your journey, so why not be that for someone else? Why not be encouraging to one another, helping get someone else to the next step in their life so that they can ultimately reach their goals too? Being kind and compassionate will always benefit more than just yourself.

So, trust me, the world will be a better place if you choose to uplift rather than tear down.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
