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.

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. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. 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.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

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. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
