Does karma really exist?

Do you Believe in Karma?
Giphy

I have always said when you do good things, good things come to you. If you put out negative vibes into the world, the negativity will come back and bite you. Karma is defined as "the sum of a person's actions in this and previous states of existence, viewed as defining their state in future existences. Karma is considered a Hindu and Buddhism practice although most people use the term karma regularly. I truly do believe in karma. After a bad day or a bad incident I have had, something good usually follows, big or little. The other day I had my $180 headphones stolen which started my rough morning, shortly after I was at Dunkin' Donuts and someone had complimented my shoes and although it was not something huge or life-altering, it did brighten my day. Not all good things happen simultaneously although they do eventually happen. When you treat someone poorly or they have treated you poorly, always remember karma will come back around to you; so it is up to you if you decide to have good karma or bad karma. Doing good things for other people, such as letting someone copy your notes, buying a friend a coffee or even going to a shelter and volunteering your time, it will follow and someone will buy you a coffee or let you copy their notes. Before you decide to pick up a wallet you saw on the subway and pocket it, or snag something in the store, remember that by you doing this, the universe will come back to you and maybe if you drop your wallet, someone will also pocket it. The universe has a strange way of working so make sure all your decisions are carefully thought out before conducting them. In my eyes, karma is very real and whoever has broken your heart, stolen your wallet or wronged you, eventually it will catch up to them and karma will set in. Remember daily to be the best person that you know you can be and the universe will thank you and repay you in more ways that you could imagine.

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.

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.
