Positivity is one of the most important things to keep with you at all times. It gives yourself a better outlook on life and you spread it to those around you. Sometimes it's even the smallest things that matter the most.

1. “Your mind is a powerful thing. When you fill it with positive thoughts, your life will start to change.”

2. “Show kindness ALWAYS. You will being to understand how important it becomes. You will see the difference in each little action you take and you will begin to feel as though a weight has been lifted off your shoulders.”

3. “Life is precious, so live every day to the fullest.”

4. “Don’t regret the choices you make, they do make you who you are. Just choose to make the right ones.”

5. “Life is great, I’m surrounded by friends.”

Friends become so important, especially when you are away from home.

6. “IHOP has a pancake the size of a pizza”

7. “Illinois is drafting the first bill to make marijuana legal.”

That's right.

8. “You can’t be a butterfly without being a caterpillar first.”

We must grow before we truly change. Spread your beautiful wings!

9. “Elephants think we’re cute.”

I think they're cute too :)

10. “There’s a song out there that instantly makes everyone happy and is completely individual for each person which is so beautiful.”

11. “Dogs are a thing that exist.”

And they are beautiful.

12. “Success is possible.”

Give yourself the OOMPH of confidence!

13. “If today is your worst day, tomorrow has to be better.”

Every bad day is another opportunity for growth, no matter the circumstance.

14. “When an opportunity presents itself, take it. You may never get a second chance.”

15. “Even though vine isn’t around anymore, there are literally hundreds of hours of compilation videos on Youtube so we can play them forever.”

16. “Just because *this* isn’t your strongest area, doesn’t mean you aren’t a successful student. That always helps me when I have a trash day with classes.”

17. “I’m still alive.”

And I am so very happy that you all are.

18. “The best way to be happy is to make someone else happy.”

Pay it forward, compliment someone on something you like about them- their hair, their smile, their shoes, etc.

19. “The earth has been around for billions of years and we ended up being on it during the same time as The Office, Gang of Youths and so many other icons. Think that’s pretty epic.”

20. “You can’t stop the waves, but you can learn how to surf!”

Right on, bro.

21. “Nobody can hurt you without your permission.”

It's perfectly okay to say, "No."

22. “Any time is a new beginning if you want it.”

23. “Life goes on.”

24. “Today’s gonna be a good day.”

It sure is.

25. “LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL.”

Absolutely beautiful.

26. “Death is inevitable. It’s nice to know we all end up in the same place, regardless of wrong doings.”

27. “Everything is connected.”

Like Newton's third law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

28. “You’re the pineapple of my eye.”

And you are just SO sweet!

29. “As long as you’re with family and good friends, everything will be okay.”

30. “Patience is a virtue.”

We must have patience for all whom we cross paths with and good things come to those who are willing to wait.

31. “Flowers are beautiful.”

And just as flowers regrow, you can too.

32. “It takes more effort to frown than it does to smile.”

Smiling is more fun anyway!

33. “There are no wrong answers, except when you’re on Family Feud.”

34. “Let your energy be used to build, not destroy.”

35. "You are always loved. Maybe you don’t see it now, but you are. Never think that nobody wants you on this Earth because that’s just a lie. You make the world a better place and it wouldn’t be the same without you. Stay positive. You will get through whatever you are going through at the moment.”

I hope you enjoyed what my friends have to say. I am a firm believer that sometimes it's even the smallest things that matter the most.

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?
