Comfort your peers and loved ones. Think about others. If you are able, help out your friends, family, or a stranger. Cook a homemade meal for friends in college to give them a sense of home. Buy a gift or send a card to your parents to show appreciation. Say thank you, be considerate. Simple acts can turn someone’s day around.
