1. Give someone a smile.

This might be simple, but this can make someone's day just by knowing that there are people who are noticing them.

2. Ask someone how their day went.

This is a good question to ask someone for several reasons. One, if they are having an exceptionally bad day, you asking this question allows them to vent to you about it. Two, if they are having an exceptionally good day, you asking this question allows them to vent to you about it. Or, three, if they are having an average day, this question just lets the person know you care.

3. Wish someone good luck on their endeavors for the day.

This might be the push some people need, and having your support in mind, they may be able to approach their tasks with more confidence.

4. Let your loved ones know you love them.

This is something that is important but often forgotten about. It may seem cliche, but always remind those you love that you love them, because you never know when you will not see them again.

More small, simple things you can do to be kind to others.

5. Hold the door for someone.

6. Compliment someone.

7. Give someone advice.

8. Remember something special about someone to show them that you listen.

9. Remind someone of a good memory you share with them.

10. Tell someone you appreciate them and why.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
