1. "I will speak ill of no man, [. . .] and speak all the good I know of everybody." –Benjamin Franklin

Just remember Benjamin Franklin. Appreciate that his worth means more than just 100.


2. “Don’t complain about the snow on your neighbour's roof, when your own doorstep is unclean.” –Confucius

Focus on what you need to do. We empathise. That’s important. But, what are you, really going to complain, maybe shout out the window, perhaps a few curse words in and out. What if it's clean, then what?

Showing some self-respect in our nature could save us criticism, resentment, or combat those blatant biases in the long run, eh?


3. “Judge Not, That Ye Be Not Judged.”

–Matthew 7 : 1

Never judge. Only because your judgement causes the same level of judgment returned as you apply more pointlessness. In the end, it teaches us to see the other’s differences, like empathy.


4. "If you want to gather honey, don’t kick over the beehive." –Dale Carnegie

Gather honey? Despite what you’re after may not be exactly honey. But, sweetness cannot be attained without having pro-anger management skills.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
