10 Random Acts Of Kindness You Should Do

Sometimes, you just need to feel good about something. Other times you might feel like you need to be in control. There is a perfect and simple thing that you could do to combine the two:being kind. You might find that when completing any of these random acts of kindness that kindness is contagious.

1. Write positive a positive message on a sticky note

Leave your sticky note with the words "your voice could change the world," or something similar to that in a place where someone can see it. Some good places would include the bathroom, the office kitchen or even in an elevator.

2. Cut the plastic pop and beer holders before throwing them away/recycling them

Animals appreciate kindness too! After seeing Happy Feet at the theaters when it came out and seeing all of those sad ocean waste videos on Facebook, I always remember to do this, and I feel good about it every time.

3. Cuddle a dog or cat at an animal shelter

They always need to be reminded that they are still loved! Plus, who wouldn't like to cuddle an animal for a while?

4. Give your waiter/waitress a very generous tip

Much more than you would normally tip because you're feeling kind! They will remember you in a good way and you will make their day.

5. If you like someone's work they created, say so!

When someone puts all of their blood, sweat and tears into something, one of the best feelings that they can receive is a compliment on their work.

6. Bring in treats to a group of people

Whether you have a student organization meeting, a work meeting, or you have a small class session to attend, bring in some treats! It can be unexpected which will change people's attitudes.

7. Create a starter kit for a friend who is going through a new chapter in life

Let's be real: change is scary af. But, it makes it a whole lot easier when you are equipped with the right tools and amour to handle it. Let's say your friend is moving to a new state for a job offer they just accepted. DIY them a new job starter kit!

8. Make someone a playlist of songs that remind you of them

It will make them feel all warm and loved! Plus, everyone loves playlists now-a-days.

9. Pay for someone's meal

Paying for the meal always comes after the damage has been done on the plate, but then comes more damage to your wallet once the bill comes. Make someone's day by saving them that last step, and it might inspire them to do the same to someone else.

10. Actually participate in someone's survey on Facebook

I know you see them on your Facebook timeline because it's that time of year: projects and exams! Help be a part of that person's data collection and learn about something new!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
