Day Twenty Three

Sorry this post is coming so late. I might have trouble posting every day on time during the semester. SO MUCH TO DO; SO LITTLE TIME! But there's always time for a random act of kindness. My mom came up with the random act of kindness for today. She keeps a board on Pinterest of different ideas that she sees.

My cellphone takes really bad pictures so you can't see what's written on the envelope but it says, "Enjoy this random act of kindness". Inside the envelope we put a dollar in quarters and taped it to the vending machine in my dorm building. 

Day Twenty Two

Today I really tried to live by the Golden Rule (i.e. "Do unto others...) With the semester in full swing there are lots of people walking around campus going to class and coming from class. So all day long I made a conscious effort to hold doors open for people walking behind me. And I even had a few doors held open for me in return.

Day Twenty One

So today brings week three of RAKs to a close. Instead of blogging about my Random Act of Kindness today I would like to blog about a Random Act of Kindness done for me by my friends. I moved out of the room I was living in last semester at school and had left a few things behind in my old room. My friends all helped me move the last of my stuff today; so thanks to them I only had to make one trip =]. So a special thanks to my friends. I love you guys.

Also, very exciting. Here's the article written about my blog on a local news website. Click here to read the article!

Day Twenty

Today was another easy one. I was driving with my friends this afternoon right after our campus was hit with some really strong wind. We drove up to a trashcan that had gotten blown over and was sitting in the middle of the road. We all thought it would be good to get the trashcan out of the road, so boom. Random act of kindness for the day. We flipped the trashcan over so it wouldn't blow back into the road and put it back in the person's driveway. Team work is the dreamwork.

Day Nineteen

So I went home for a few days this weekend and I've been told by my mother that I am the only one who her dog, Macy, will tolerate to give her a bath. No one knows why this is but apparently I'm the dog whisperer. No one really tries to bathe the dog at home because she hates it and then there was a rather unfortunate incident at the groomers where we all discovered Macy's nervous bowel tendencies.

So today my RAK was to give my mom's dog a bath and as usual Macy just sat in the sink and licked my arm while I scrubbed her down. There was no thrashing, splashing, or any otherwise messy occurrences. I even got her to sit still to get her nails clipped (although that may have involved my mother distracting her with some yogurt and treats).

Day Eighteen

Sorry this post is coming in a little late. Day eighteen I think is one of my favorites so far. I went to my mom's work and there was 1 lonely car parked in the long term parking section. It was covered in snow and ice and it's supposed to snow again in a few days.

My mom let me borrow that scrapey thing (I believe that's the technical term for it) that scrapes the ice off of your car. I cleared off the car and left the wind shield wipers up so they wouldn't get frozen to the windshield again.

Day Seventeen

Back at school I feel like it might be a little bit more difficult to complete a RAK everyday because I'm somewhat confined to staying on campus all week; so any and all ideas are welcome! (And much appreciated). Im sure there are just as many Random Acts of Kindness I can do without leaving school; I just haven't figured out what they are yet.

Today I went and got dinner with my friends and when we were done eating there was kind of a big crowd next to the trash can so I gathered up all of my friends' trays and brought them over.
