The world could use more kindness. There is so much power in being kind to people. The best people are those who radiate positivity and genuinely make you feel beautiful down to your soul. Those are the kind of people you want to surround yourself with. Those are the people who ask you how your day is going and actually care to listen instead of running through the motions of a checklist conversation. I think we all can take a lesson from those positive people.

Being kind to somebody does nothing but good. An act such as smiling at somebody could be the difference in whether their day was good or bad. People remember how you treat them and you have so much more to gain from being a nice person.

Especially as girls, it is easy to get caught up in the latest gossip. What if instead of joining in the negative conversations, you were the one that broke the cycle and didn't join in. Gossip only spreads the negativity and is part of the toxic repetitive cycle of being a girl and it shouldn't be. Put yourself in the place of the person you are gossiping about and reflect on how it would make you feel if you were them. Be the person who makes that girl feel beautiful down to her soul.

"For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone." — Audrey Hepburn

Being kind is a simple thing and so is looking for the good in others. So stop wasting your energy on negative thoughts and negative words towards others. Instead, spend your time loving on people and smiling at people and trying to make a difference in people's lives. The only thing negativity will do is bring yourself down.

Any negative thoughts or words you harbor and use against others do nothing but stunt your growth as a person and belittle those around you. So be the person who radiates positivity and makes others feel worthy. If you fill others with meaningful compliments you will find a positive change in your self-worth as well.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
