30 Days Of Kindess Challenge
We Heart It

Today, I did something kind. I'm sure my random act of kindness turned that kids frown upside down. I learned that it is important to do something kind for someone else and make their day. Whether or not that person was kind to you in return. Kindness is a characteristic that is more often than not mistaken for weakness which it is not. It can only make you stronger.

Here are a list of ideas you can choose from. Hope you brighten someone’s day today!

  1. Write and send someone a handwritten letter
  2. Compliment a stranger
  3. Send paper thank you notes to five different people
  4. Pay for the coffee, the toll or the bus fare for the person behind you
  5. Let the person who seems rushed cut in front of you
  6. Hold the door open for someone
  7. Help people move
  8. Send your friend a letter
  9. Go through your things and give freely to those in need
  10. Call everyone you know and tell them you love them
  11. Help someone whose car has broken down
  12. Bake a cake for the birthday person
  13. Let someone else have your seat on the crowded bus, light-rail or subway
  14. Do the task no one else wants to do
  15. Listen to someone’s life story — yes, the whole thing
  16. Put money in someone else’s parking meter that’s about to expire
  17. Cook or buy a meal for a homeless person
  18. Donate to your local charity
  19. Leave a generous tip
  20. Take positive small talk to strangers
  21. Take your friend's dog for a walk
  22. Send someone a small gift anonymously
  23. Offer to pick up groceries for an elderly neighbor
  24. Leave your favorite book in a public place with a note
  25. Donate books to your local library
  26. Volunteer at a soup kitchen
  27. Pay for the drinks on the next table at a restaurant
  28. Treat a friend to the movies for no reason
  29. Put a flower on your neighbor’s porch
  30. Give free hugs

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
