There are some people in the world who are super service oriented. Good for them, but a that’s not my mindset. It’s definitely something I am working towards, but it isn’t my first thought to go out and help someone. I guess also in my mind when I think of serving others, I think of huge projects like painting a house or helping someone move. In reality, you can serve someone just by saying hello.

So I came up with 20 super easy things you can do to make someone’s day.

1. Write a note

2. Say hello

3. Bring someone flowers

4. Listen

5. Pay for someone's meal

6. Make them dinner when they are sad

7. Hold the door open for people

8. Bring someone ice cream

9. Mow your neighbor’s lawn

10. Call a friend you haven’t talked to in a while

11. Offer someone a ride home

12. Compliment a stranger

13. Be aware of other’s needs

14. Make your roommates bed

15. Hold the elevator

16. Smile

17. Say thank you

18. Leave a nice tip for your waiter/waitress

19. Say Good Morning

20. Just be kind

The world could use more happiness, so be the one to spread the light.

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…

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