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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
