Be somebody who makes everybody feel like a somebody. ~Kid President

Can we make this our new national anthem? Please? I love this! Can you even imagine if this is how we all lived our lives? I want to propose one result: there wouldn't be any more school shootings.

I don't think there'd be any more shootings period.

If we were constantly considering how everybody is a somebody -

no matter their race,

no matter their religion,

no matter their personality,

no matter their talents or lack thereof,

no matter what hurtful thing they did to us,

no matter our feelings -

I think this world's news would sound a lot different.

I think our hearts would look a lot different.

Sure, there are some people out there who have such rough outsides it's hard to find and bring out the good in them. But I think if we were all honest with ourselves, there are some rough things about each and every one of us that we have been very blessed to have people put up with. We've been blessed with support systems and resources that have helped us with our rough situations. Not everyone has that.

If we were always looking for ways to celebrate others and make them appreciate themselves, I think there'd be fewer suicide victims.

I think we'd be finding more cures to disease, more options for our government, more brilliant inventions if we were encouraging others to use their strengths.

I think there'd be less pride in our own abilities and more reliance on others.

At the same time, there'd be less insecurity and less pressure to maintain an image if we weren't under the impression that we needed to earn our "somebody" status.

All in all, I think this quote sums it up.

All the problems, the unrest, the despair, and tension.

It all comes down to mentally and actively making this world full of somebodies.

And it's something that every single person can do on their own to make a difference.

No government action needed.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

16 Secrets Anthropology Majors Never Admit To

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
