13 Things Guaranteed To Make You Smile Today

Sometimes, all you need is a little pick me up. It is so important to remember all the beautiful, funny, wonderful things that can always make you smile, and remind you of all the greatness this world holds– especially now. Here's my list of things that always make me happy, I hope you can relate:

1. The willingness of children to just say what's on their minds.

2. Any news reporter fail video that you can get your hands on:

3. This picture??? Yes.

4. Obama just being Obama.

5. I've watched this video 100 times probably, and it's still priceless.

6. A game of Cards Against Humanity is always guaranteed to make you smile, for whatever inappropriate reason.

7.This blooper gets me 100 percent of the time. Jennifer Aniston can't even hold it together in the scene that aired.

8. The AWKWARD, hilarious reality of this interview.

9. Military homecomings get you right in the heart, no matter what.

10. This month's amazing success story of the conjoined twins!

11. This speech by Stephen Colbert that reminds us how alike we really are.

12. Hey. You're alive today and there is a beautiful world to discover. See something new today.

13. You have the ability to accomplish something great today. Focus on the positives, appreciate the people and the world around you, and seize the moment for all its worth.

"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.

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?

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs.
