Compliments…

Everyone loves compliments. I have noticed of late how important a compliment is, especially when you are having a bad day at work or school. You could be pissed off or sad for any reason, known or unknown, but have you ever noticed how a compliment changes your mood instantly? I have tried this and I want every person reading this to try it out and check what happens post compliment process.

Process:

  • Find a person at work (or at school or in a mall) who looks extremely dull and extra sad for the day.
  • Go to them and just say, “Hey, nice shirt,” or “Nice shoes,” or “I like your style.”
  • Remember to say this with a slight smile just like this :)



  • Check the smile on that person’s face instantly.

Result:

You will notice that you have done your good deed for the day. That smile on the face of a sad person would make your day. Even if your day sucks, don’t wait for a compliment. Compliment others and you’ll see the difference for yourself.

Compliment others not only for their appearance but for other good things. Learn to appreciate actions, encourage them, support them and make people around you happy. You never know what the other person is going through, all you could do to help is compliment them. I have noticed that this trick works on all kinds of people: social, anti-social, outgoing, sad people, happy people and all kinds available in the society. :P

Go out today and try it for yourself. You never know, a compliment could help you get the person you have been waiting for all this time. Start complimenting and start being happy. Find happiness in little things of life. :)


P.S: Try at your own risk. Don’t blame me if the consequences turn out to be something totally different.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies.
