Always Stay Humble And Kind

You can never judge a book by its cover.

Always Stay Humble And Kind
Bobjeanhot

If I see you struggle,

I'll help you.

If I see you need help,

I'll save the day.

If I see that you're hungry,

I'll help feed you.

If you need a jacket,

Take mine.


You see that young girl over there, cowered in the subway corner? This place is her only source of dry warm shelter. Give her a hand. Help her out so she doesn't view the world as the cold negative palace it really is.


See that man with his jacket in shambles? Order two 1$ coffees and hand him one. It might be the first thing warm he's had in over a week. He also needs to know that not everyone is a heartless wretch like the rest of the world.

That car behind you in the drive through, with the mother and her two kids scrambling the car for loose change? Pay their tab with yours, show them that there is a kind of Santa, although not the one they would expect.

If you shop thrift stores, help the elderly lady behind you with her purchase. This might be the first time in years that shes been able to afford warm clothes. Help her to her car, or wherever shes heading, she might not ever know what true help feels like.


-Maybe it's just my humble heart, maybe it's just my sensitive compassion...But everyone deserves to be helped in some way. I plan on taking action in a charity called pending coffee. Every time I go to the coffee place, I'll purchase two and only take mine. Then I'll tell the employees to save the other one until someone comes in and doesn't have enough money for their purchase or cannot afford it at all. Show the world just how kind we as humans can really be. It'll do us all some good to see humility in this world.

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. 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.
