hop skip and a jump

and we're working our way back into the swing of things now that it's third term. do you know what third term means? i certainly do, it means that there's ball park 60 days left of school. that's it. doesn't it feel like the school year just started? to me it does. school is like work, no matter how much i complain about it and wish that i didn't have to go, i actually don't mind it for the most part. but enough of this nice little random tangent and i'll attempt at finding a point.

due to the fact that i work in a retail store it is required of me to be nice to people and greet them and help them and this doesn't bother me, it's usually easy to be nice to people. sometimes after getting off work i'm still stuck in the world of i have to greet everyone and be nice so i'll end up saying hi and such to random strangers. you should see some of the looks i get, they are hilarious. what i really like though is when they say hi back, or even just acknowledge that you said something to them. we are too obsessed in our own little worlds to look up and see what's going on around us. i dare you to at least attempt at a random act of kindness at least once a day. hold the door open for someone. hold the door open for someone with their arms full. acknowledge those around you. if someone does something nice for you, say thank you and actually mean it. don't just say it to say it.

pay things forward. if someone does something nice for you, return the favor to someone else. who knows if they'll keep the trend but i promise that you'll feel good about yourself. make someone else's day just a little brighter, it's worth it.

this kinda goes along with the topic of this so i'm going to include it because i like gandhi.
