10 Reasons To Be Happy

With all of the bad things going on in the world, I think now would be a good time to show people that even though there might be bad things going on, there are still many reasons to be happy.

1. Friends

Having good friends is one of the best things in the world, and they always know how to make you feel better. So if you are feeling down, remember that you have amazing friends who only want the best for you.

2. Music

Whether it's going to a concert or listening to your favorite songs, music has a way to instantly make you feel better.

3. Jobs

I know that not everyone likes their jobs, but you should be happy that you have a job. Not everyone is lucky enough to have a job, so if you do have a job, and don't necessarily like it, be happy that you have one because you are making money to support yourself and others.

4. Volunteering

There are so many different ways and things that you can volunteer for. You can reach out to your community, go on a mission trip, or just simply help a neighbor out. Helping other people out is one of the easiest and most rewarding thing to do. This is a great way to be happy and fee like you've made an impact on something.

5. Food

I know this might seem ridiculous, but I mean what makes you happier than pizza or french fries? We get to eat three fresh meals a day, and get to eat whenever we want. Not everyone is lucky enough to be able to do this, so appreciate the fact that we have great access to such amazing foods!

6. The weather

I love seeing the changes of the seasons and I especially love warm weather. When it's the middle of winter and the sun decides to come out after a week of hiding, it always makes me feel happy. There are so many different ways to enjoy the weather and that's why I think that it can make people happy.

7. Education

No matter what type of education you have, you should be thankful that you have it. If you are able to go onto college and grad school, you should be happy that you get to further your knowledge. Getting to learn more about certain subjects I like, always makes me happy.

8. The little things

Appreciating the little things in life like having a good day or catching a rerun of your favorite TV show, can really make a person feel happy. You just have to notice the little things and they can turn your entire day around.

9. Love

Being in love or having so many people to love is one of the things that makes me the most happy.

10. Family

For me, one of the things that makes me the most happy, is my family. Feeling loved and having so much support from so many different people in your family is such a great feeling. Spending time with family can always turn my day around.


I hope these 10 things will make you realize that you have so many different things to be happy about!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
