30 Things Kid President Teaches Us

It's time to be awesome, people. Lets remember what living is all about.

*insert random dance party here*



1. "Give people high fives just for getting out of bed..being a person is hard sometimes."

Do you have someone awesome in yo' life? TELL THEM. Make their day.

2. "If you can't think of anything nice to say, you're not thinking hard enough."

It's easy to get worked up, but there is always something good in a person. Speak life.

3. "You don't need a cape to be a hero. You just need to care."

4. "Sure, there's bad stuff in the world. But there's also you. You can be anything that you want today, so be bold. Be kind. Be awesome, repeat. It's like shampoo, but with your life."

What are you gunna do to be more awesome?

5. "If at first you don't succeed...YOU'RE NORMAL!"

6. "Doing nothing is a great way to change nothing."

7. "Stop whining, start shining."

This is something all the moms in the world can get down with.

8. "You can't be sad when you're holding a cupcake."

I can attest to this. You truly can't.

9. "You are made from love, to be love, to spread love. Love is ALWAYS louder. No matter what. Even if hate has a blow horn. Love is louder. So let your life be loud."

If you are living a life of love, you are making the world a better place. Love will always win.

10. "Life is what happens when you put down your phone."

4 real. Technology is cool, but be sure to look up and look at the world around you. Don't miss out of cool things happening in real life because you're looking at cool things someone else is doing.

11. "Reminder to grown ups: Kids are learning how to treat each other & solve problems by watching YOU."

Oh, you don't like how this generation is doing things? Keep in mind we grow up watching you. We learn from you.

12. "If we make today awesome for somebody else, today will be awesome for everybody."

13. "Hug more, shout less."

Unless it's excitement shouting. HOLLA!

14. You can cry about it, or you can dance about it."

15. "Open your heart more than your mouth."

16. "It's easy to make fun of stuff, but it's cooler to make stuff."

Have you seen the cool DIY things on pinterest? Holy cow.

17. "Be somebody who makes everybody, feel like a somebody."

18. "Throw kindness around like confetti. Kindness is less messy."

Same with glitter. Choose kindness.

19. "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade, drink it, and DANCE."

Don't know how to make lemonade? Look no further.

20. "If it doesn't make the world a better place...DON'T DO IT."

21. "You could do nothing, say nothing...but then you'll BE nothing."

Why would ya wanna do that?

22. "Instead of being a follower, focus on being someone worth following."

23. "Hello person I've never met before, here's a high five!"

If you've never done this, I encourage it. It's fun.

24. "I disagree with you, but I still like you as a person who is a human being and I will treat you like that because if I didn't it would make everything bad and that's what lots of people do and it's lame."

*THIS IS IMPORTANT TAKE NOTE*

25. "It's okay to disagree, but it's not okay to be mean."

*ALSO IMPORTANT*

26. "If life is a game, aren't we all on the same team? I'm on your team, be on my team!"

27. "You got air comin' through your nose. You gotta heartbeat. That means it's time to do something."

There's no better day than today to make a difference.

28. "A title doesn't make you more important, the world is changed by you."

29. "Things don't have to be the way they are. The world is changed by ordinary people."

30. "It's easy to be overwhelmed and feel like you can't do anything. But that's why we have each other. Together we're louder. Together we're brighter."

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
