Be Nice For No Reason

You never need a reason to be kind to others.

Be Nice For No Reason

Nowadays people seem to only do nice things so they can make a Facebook post about it so other people can tell them how good of a person they are. You never need a reason to go out of your way to be nice to someone.

I am a firm believer in being nice for no reason. You dont need to know the person to hold the door. The person doesn't even have to be a mom with a stroller, they just have to be someone that you took two seconds to think about.

The girl who's shirt you think is really cute? Tell her, it will make her day. When you're on the field with your teammates, tell them what an awesome throw that was. Give people compliments, dont just think them in your head.

I think its the nicest thing when people pay for the person behind them in the Starbucks line. Out of the kindest of their heart or maybe for another reason. Maybe the woman behind you is a 2nd grade teacher who is running late for her first SOL. Or maybe the man behind you stayed up all night working on a huge project with his work team. You never really know whats going on in peoples lives. That is what makes random acts of kindness even better.

My personal favorite way of being kind is letting people over when they are merging into your lane. I really never understood why people purposely dont let cars into the lane. You all are going to the same place, you can spare the two seconds to let someone in.

If you see someone spill something or are struggling to pick things up, go and help them. They will appreciate you so much more than you could ever think. People know when you are acting out on the kindness in your heart.

Take the time and do something nice for someone tomorrow. Whether its youre out grocery shopping or at soccer practice. Be kind, spread kidness, and make a difference.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
