Do all things with kindness.

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

I thought senioritis in high school was rough until I became a college senior about to go into the real world. I'm supposed to have everything figured out, right? I mean I went through four years of tough classes and serious self-searching (and crying). What I found overall was Senioritis sneaking up on me.

But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.
