A Reminder To The Cynics

Good people are everywhere

A Reminder To The Cynics
National Geographic Kids

Okay, yah, I'll admit sometimes I get in a zone and I think it's a hard world out there! Every man for himself! No one cares about anyone unless they benefit! But...BUT sometimes we need a reminder that isn't always the case. You'll meet a lot of people like that, like a lot a lot so watch out, but that doesn't mean the good people aren't out there. And they're everywhere too! People exist that are genuinely nice and here is your reminder of it.

Not everyone is out there trying to use or abuse you. Some people just want to brighten your day with as little as a smile or as big as baking you a cake. There's good people everywhere whether it's the people who want to actually help you learn and watch you succeed in life like teachers who you know are doing what they love as in help you because they aren't paid enough. Then there's other people like police officers and even volunteer fire fighters who risk their lives to help or save yours for a pretty low salary as well. Then there's the everyday people, the ones you see in the halls at school or the ones in the office. They'll genuinely ask you about your day because they either care or so nice they ask you out of habit of being nice. They'll ask you about that test or the report you had due. They remember the little things you seem to forget until they bring it up again. They make you feel important because you are important.

It's easy to be pessimistic, but sometimes you need to take a step back, no, a step forward and take a more narrow look at life. Look at an individual and see their goodness flowing from them from little actions for offering you a smile to holding the door for you or offering you a couple cents so the cashier doesn't have to come up with ninety five cents of cash and can just give you a full dollar back. Good people are everywhere and I feel like sometimes we all just need a reminder of that.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.
