Its no doubt that tensions are high in our country right now. Lately I have noticed our society just so full of hate, and being engrossed in that environment all the time really brings you down. Its hard to get on social media all the time to just to see negativity. So today I wanted to share a few a things that you can do to make the world a little brighter.

1. Leave positive notes in public places.

Leaving little notes of affirmation, positive thoughts and inspiring quotes is just a way to make a strangers day a little brighter. That stranger could share a photo of your note and it could spread positivity across the world!

2. Volunteer at an animal shelter.

Go walk or play with some local puppies or kittens that need some love. It makes the animals happier, the staff happier and odds are it would make you a lot happier too!

3. Donate blood!

The Red Cross is in need of all types of blood right now! Each time you donate you save up to 3 lives! I can't think of a better way to make the world better than by saving lives!

4. Do a random act of kindness.

Pay for someones coffee, compliment a stranger, give someone a nice meal, the possibilities are endless. Doing something kind for someone often leads to them paying it forward.

5. Make a good meal.

Cooking a meal that makes you happy, a comfort food, or something that reminds you of home can drastically increase your mood.

6. Try something new.

Take an adventure! There is nothing quite like the rush of doing something new whether it be food, an experience, or visiting a new location. Push yourself outside of your comfort zone.

7. Teach yourself a new skill.

Learn calligraphy, how to knit, or how to work on a car. Teach yourself a skill that will make your life easier and that you can pass on to someone else.

8. Get involved.

If you want to make a difference in your community, get involved. You can make a direct impact on your community along with bettering yourself in the process! If you want to see change then be part of it.

9. Keep a journal of all the things you are grateful for.

Every morning right down 5 things that you are thankful for. Do this for two weeks and you can't repeat anything you have written down before. Doing this small exercise can really remind you of all the things you have in your life to be grateful for.

10. SELF CARE!!!

Self care is single handedly the most important thing to do/learn! In times of high stress and emotion remember to take care of yourself! Self care can help keep you sane, reduce stress/anxiety and keep you grounded. Take some time today to do something that you enjoy doing. You deserve a break!

Remember to love yourself, and one another during this time when so many are hurting. Lets heal together!

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
