10 Things That Make Me Happy

1. Sunsets

My favorite time of day is night. Half of the reason for this is because of the breath taking transition the sky goes through to turn day into night. The colors of nature always amaze me, watching the the sky always brightens my mood. The different colors of sunset are rich, brilliant, and flow together like milk in coffee.

2. Paintings

Artwork allows people of complete different backgrounds to come together. Art conveys what one really is thinking, it’s probably the most honest, true, and raw way to express oneself. The fact that one person is given a sneak peek into the mind of an artist simply by certain brushstrokes and colors blows my mind, and all types of art make me smile.

3.Meeting new people

Don’t get me wrong, it’s fun to have old friends who know everything about you. But, meeting new faces with different interests and new perspectives is always a good thing. It’s refreshing to be exposed to new point of views.

4. Comfort food

Nothing is wrong with being healthy, but everyone has those days were grilled chicken and brussel sprouts don’t get the job done. Pizza, Chinese food, ice cream, cake, the list of comfort foods that bring joy to my life goes on and on.

5. My family

There are few people who I would openly embarrass myself in front of, and even less people who I would die for. The few people who I would do those things for would be my immediate family. My parents and my sister have always been there for me and will continue to be there for me, and for that there is nothing I could say that would express my love for them.

6. My friends

Everyone has their own “people”. By “people” I don’t mean fellow human beings, I mean the people who know everything about one another. The people who you go to first when there is a problem. The people who cheer you up even when you’re down. My “people” always know how to make me smile, and there is almost nothing that can break our bond.

7. Naps

We all experience days when we can barely keep our head up, we want to shut the world out, and we just want to be alone. Naps allow us to pretend everything's okay, even when they are not. Naps are ways to recharge and feel reborn when awaken. Long story short, I love naps.

8. Hot showers/baths

Along with naps, hot showers and baths are comforting and rejuvenating. Whether you’ve got sore muscles from playing a sport, have had a bad day, or are just stressed out, hot showers and baths are always the answer.

9. Rainy Days

I don’t know if it’s the smell of rain, the feeling of rain, dancing in the rain or the atmosphere rain produces, but I just love rain.

10. Dogs

Corgis!!!! That is all.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
