September 10th marks the beginning of National Suicide Prevention Week.

Today, I cannot help but reflect on how important it is to let people know how special and significant they are. I know I often see the good in others, but not in myself. This makes me wonder about how different and happier the world would be if we let others know what they mean to us and how wonderful they are. I’ve found that you never know what people are going through and how much nice words could mean to someone.

There are so many stories about people who intended to commit suicide but didn’t because of something someone did or said that showed they cared. Have someone’s kind words ever helped you get through your day? If so, why not help someone else feel that same way?

If you’re like me, sometimes finding the right words to express yourself can be hard. So here is a list of meaningful compliments that you can give and be inspired by to make someone blush:

1. You should see how many people smile when they talk to you.

2. Your style is so authentic.

3. I think you are the best version of yourself you could be.

4. Your laughter is my favorite sound.

5. You are more than enough.

6. Your perspective is refreshing.

7. I am honestly proud of the person you've become, and you should be too.

8. Your hugs make me feel so happy and safe.

9. Thank you for all of the little things you do that go unnoticed.

10. You are more helpful than you realize.

11. I believe in you. You are making a difference.

12. You bring out the best in other people.

13. Your openness and vulnerability are really emboldening.

14. Your passion and dedication are so inspiring.

15. I appreciate you listening and always knowing what I need to hear.

16. Your presence is so reassuring

17. Your drive to better yourself is so motivational.

18. Your voice is mesmerizing.

19. Spending time with you is always an amazing adventure.

20. You are a great example to others.

21. You are so thoughtful.

22. Thank you for pushing me to try new things.

23. Your creativity is limitless.

24. You are stronger than you think you are.

25. Actions speak louder than words, and yours tell an incredible story.

26. You seem to know who you really are.

27. Your childlike wonder brings others joy.

28. I think you are worth so much more.

29. You carry yourself with maturity beyond your years.

30. I would want no one else by my side.

31. You remind me of your parents.

32. You are even more beautiful on the inside than on the outside.

33. You should be thanked more often. So thank you!

Although genuine praise is nice to hear, the sincerity behind a compliment makes it meaningful and uplifting. These are a good place to start, but be creative in making your own compliments because the meaning and passion you put into them will make them more genuine, meaningful and significant to others. Everyone deserves to hear a compliment. Everyone deserves to know that someone cares. I hope that as you give compliments you also receive a million compliments yourself because you deserve it.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
