Random Acts of Kindness

Sprinkling a little happiness into this crazy thing called life

Random Acts of Kindness

Lately I have been really stressed. At times, it feels like the whole world is against me whether it's all my assignments due at once, I get sick, injure myself (happens way too often), or I just have no motivation. In these times, I feel like absolutely nothing could go right. Then something wonderful happens.

One day, I received this adorable note in the mail. Something so simple, yet it made my whole day. It was exactly what I needed to hear! Total Holy Spirit moment (I'll probably write about what those are in the near future, so keep checking in). Anyway, back to the point. Do you ever take into consideration the positive outcome of the things that you do?

Random acts of kindness. Probably everyone has heard of them. But do we actually do them, or are they just something that you see other people do? Why not be one of those people?

This note probably meant way more to me than the person that sent it thought it would. It just goes to show that you never know the impact you may have on someone. We don't know everyone's stories and we may not know what they are going through at that moment. A little kindness can go a long way.

So why not make random acts of kindness a little less random? Make them frequent. Make them a daily habit. You could even plan them out. The smallest act of caring for another person is like a drop of water-it will make ripples throughout the pond. I encourage all of you to do at least one random act of kindness for someone this week. Kindness can be contagious and spread like wildfire. You never know, someone might just do a random act of kindness for you.

Never believe that a few caring people can't change the world. That's all who ever have.

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.

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.
