Reasons to give off good vibes

Understanding Why Being Positive Is Important.

Positivity. Something I have grown to learn about during my years in college. It's a choice but I believe it is so important for each and every one of us to live by. When you are positive, you are happy. Positivity is just a matter of perspective. It is your own choice how to look at what is going on around you. Being positive is sending out good energy, vibes and attracting great things. Sometimes it's hard for people to be positive. It can be easier said than done because for those who are not positive already, you have to grow them in your mind. It is one of those things where if you truly want it, you will get it.

Let me explain further about vibes and energy. The two are important to understand because they are real. The energy you give off, people can feel. Some people are able to pick up on the vibes of someone they just met. So, having positive energy is vital. Think about it as making a nice first impression with everyone you meet. Let's not forget that those we surround ourselves with matter. Be around people who make you laugh, care about your well-being and overall, make you happy.

Part of being positive is having the pleasure of people enjoying your company. No one wants to be that person people do not like to be around. When someone has negative energy, their bad energy can transmit onto you and the same goes with being positive. Removing anything negative, whether it's a habit or even a loved one from your life, is very crucial to living a positive life.

Positivity is all in the mind and your actions. Think positive. Talk positive. Feel positive. When you feel good, you open the door for positive energy to reach you. I like to think about the things I am thankful for. By doing that, I attract more things to be thankful for. Supporting your positive thoughts with your behavior so that it can turn into a daily thing is key. It's not all about being nice either. You have to think good thoughts, always. Whether it's complimenting yourself or turning a negative into a positive, those little things matter.

Being positive is the best way to live. Always remember, it's easy to spread your positivity to those around you. I encourage everyone to always have a positive attitude. The benefits you will reap are grand.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
