CMU Delivers

Carnegie Mellon is the most amazing place in the world.  Here's some proof from Cynthia.

Before I submit my diary entry, I just wanted to thank you for doing creating this Karma Diary. It is a simple idea but one that can make a huge impact. I hope to keep doing a kind act every day from now on.

-When this diary was introduced to me, I immediately loved the idea of spreading kindness and recording the rewarding feeling right after. I have always considered myself to be a kind person, but not the nicest. I am a strong believer in random acts of kindness because it can change someone's day, month, or life. 

I usually perform random acts of kindness in the spur of the moment, so I got a little nervous having to do one after I receive this diary only because I knew it would be slightly planned. Regardless, I found the perfect opportunity. One of my close friends (I'll call her Jane) is always willing to come with me to run errands whether it be on campus or off. I always feel bad, but I love her company. I don't see her that often to repay the favor because I am so busy all the time, but when I can, I will show her a token of my appreciation. I hadn't done so in a while (last time I bought her Razzy Fresh), so while running errands, I bought her some hot chocolate from the library. It's a simple gesture, but I could tell she appreciated it. When I go home for Winter Break, I am planning on getting her something more significant. It's not about the material item itself, but more about the reasoning behind it. 

I now pass this on to my good friend Danning, who has one of the sweetest personalities and hearts I have ever come across.

In kindness,

Cynthia Hsia
