Small but simple things you can do to make someone's day a little bit better.

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.

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.
