To the person who is so much more

We all have those people.

To the person who is so much more

When you're having the worst day of your life, and you don't think it can get any worse. You get a text message... maybe from someone who you haven't spoken to in a long time. That message, to you, may be your saving grace. You stop and think... "Wow, maybe things just aren't so bad." Be that person for someone.

When you walk into a room, and you don't recognize anyone. You sit down, and all you want to do is leave. Someone walks over to you... maybe just to say “Hello”. You begin the conversation, and you feel a sense of comfort. Be that person for someone.

When you're riding in the car, and the music is off... your mind is going a thousand miles per hour. Your phone rings, and it's someone who you love unconditionally. Their voice radiates through the phone, and you can hear they're genuinely happy to hear your voice too. Be that person for someone.

It could be as simple as an encounter. You know, something so simple, but means so much. You really didn't want to talk to anyone that day... so you went out by yourself. You see this person, and their smile. You talk for a little bit... and you walk away. You begin to feel better. That darkness, in your mind, begins to fade. Be that person for someone.

People are fighting a battle... even the ones you think have it all together.

Be that text text message, be that stranger, be that phone call, and be that encounter.

Everyone needs someone like you in their life.

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Kent State University
Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
