Let's not forget that cookies are only one path the global/ local/ intergalactic kindness. (Cake is also an acceptable option.)
HOW TO BE NICE TO...
Your older sibling at college: decide to send her a care package. If you start ticking away at it in advance, you can accumulate a lot of little gifts without feeling like you've taken a big chunk out of your wallet. Wrap it up in some plain paper and write a little note on the outside-- words are always nice.
Your older sibling at home: this is slightly more difficult... invite him to engage in a mutual pasttime you held as children. Even if the activity itself isn't very entertaining anymore, the memories/ nostalgia/ reconnection will be.
Your teacher: just be quiet. It's difficult, but lord knows they're people too.
Your angsty friend: listen to her. Does she need a shoulder to cry on? A partner in venting? A sink into which she can pour her angst angst angst? Whatever she needs: be it as best you can.
Your stressed parents: sometimes it's just best to make yourself invisible. Try to resolve your own issues. Make yourself dinner. Get a ride from a friend. Don't antagonize.
Yourself: if it's ten twenty-four and you have a one act play the next evening... GET TO BED!
And that is where I bid you good night! I hope everyone is doing well. Happy baking!
