**“It’s time to do something!”**
Before you do anything, watch the [Kid President Pep Talk](http://youtu.be/l-gQLqv9f4o) video and get inspired. Actually, just watch all the videos on the Soul Pancake YouTube channel.
**Tape enough change for a treat to the front of a vending machine on campus.**
One of us broke college kids will be eternally grateful. It’s like when people leave money in the parking meters downtown, but better.
**Let the person behind you in line go before you**
Random acts of kindness don’t always have to do with money and paying for things. A simple gesture like this is equally effective and usually surprises.
**Pay a compliment to someone on Facebook via [MU Compliments](https://www.facebook.com/mu.compliments?ref=ts&fref=ts).**
Best part: it’s anonymous (unless you give yourself away) and way less awkward than telling someone you like their boots. Bonus: it’ll brighten the day of MU Compliments readers.
**Walk around campus blaring Katy Perry.**
Because “baby, you’re a firework.”
**Read “Random Acts of Kindness: 365 ways to make the world a better place” by Danny Wallace**
Who says random acts of kindness are only for the 17th? This book has an idea for every day of the year!
**Then, read _The Happiness Project_ by Gretchen Rubin**
Do _yourself_ a random act of kindness and learn to get the most out of life. Fact: happy people make other people happy.
**Watch _The Buried Life_ on Netflix**
