10 Ways To Be A Good Human Being Today

Karma is alive and well, and even the best of us need a little reminder sometimes. Regardless if it's the smallest of gestures or something unbelievably gracious, you have no idea how big an impact it could potentially make on someone else.

1. Hold the door open for people.

2. Recycle! This is one of the easiest things to do that we tend to forget about. Our future generations will thank you.

3. Let people off the elevator first before you get in.

4. Tip the waitress/barista/etc. at least 15 percent if their service was good.

5. Give a homeless person a healthy dinner - you never know when their last full meal was.

6. Pay for the next person in line's drink at your favorite coffee shop.

7. Collect your extra change in a jar somewhere to donate to charity.

8. Smile at a stranger, because you might just make their day.

9. Tell a loved one how much they mean to you.

10. Do one thing to take care of yourself - whether it be eating a healthy meal or taking a bubble bath. Remember that it's just as important to treat yourself well as it is to help other people.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
