Everyone has bad days. Whether you failed a test or got into a fender bender, there might just be something you need to cheer up. Here's a small collection of cute and happy pictures to help brighten your day.

1. PUPPIES.

Just look at those faces and tell me you don't feel ten times better! Because in the words of Travis from The Choice, "there's nothin' cuter than puppies in a basket!"

2. Kids in Costumes

Because parents taking full advantage of their baby's cuteness and inability to fight what clothes they wear is too funny not to pass up.

3. A Pretty View

Hopefully this relaxes you and also makes you go to Pinterest and find an exact destination for your upcoming and much needed vacation.

4. A Funny Joke

OK, this may be more on the stupid side, but I'm sure it made you smile.

5. Good News

Somewhere, at some time today, a sweet little doggy got adopted and now has a loving home and family.

6. Someone's Face When They Get Scared

If these people's reaction to getting scared doesn't make you giggle, then you may have more compassion than most because that's plain funny.

7. A Good Memory

I wish I could tell you what your best memory is in order to cheer you up, but as soon as you saw this you thought of a memory didn't you? That's good. Just bask in that memory for a minute.

8. Something That Makes You Smile Even Though It's Stupid

Ridiculously stupid? I hope so!

9. A Sight for Sore Eyes

Hopefully the site of this amazing set up relaxes you. Maybe it also gives you inspiration to take a bubble bath yourself and relax.

10. More Sights for Sore Eyes

I mean come on. If The sight of a comfy bed, a fireplace and a dog don't put you at ease and brighten your day a bit then I don't know what will.

11. Something to Make You Relax

Ugh, just looking at that, I'm more calm.

12. A Reminder of Who Can Brighten Your Day

Just a list of some of the people that can help you smile when you are sad as well as the things you can do to get there.

13. An Inanimate Best Friend

Whatever your real best friend is that isn't human: chocolate, alcohol*, diamonds, go out and get some and make yourself happier. *Please drink responsibly

14. A Flashback to Your Childhood

A flashback to the easier days where you didn't have a care in the world can sometimes ease your hurt.

15. A Reminder

In case you needed to hear it: You Are Wonderful.

Hopefully these things brighten your day a little because you deserve to smile.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

The holiday season is full of stress, debt, and forced conversation. While we rush through the month of December, it's important to take a step back and enjoy the moments before they're gone. Most families love to watch Christmas movies, but these beloved films provide more than entertainment. Here are 10 life lessons that I've learned from the holiday classics we watch every year.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

1."But what would happen if we all tried to be like Santa and learned to give as only he can give: of ourselves, our talents, our love and our hearts? Maybe we could all learn Santa's beautiful lesson and maybe there would finally be peace on Earth and good will toward men."

"Sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see."

"If you won't use your heart, who cares if it gets broken? If you just keep it to yourself, maybe it'll be like my rollerblades. When you do decide to try it, it won't be any good. You should take a chance. Got nothing to lose."

"Remember, no man is a failure who has friends."

"Life is made up of meetings and partings. That is the way of it."

"If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find a that love actually is all around."

"Sometimes things look good on paper, but lose their luster when you see how it affects real folks. I guess a healthy bottom line doesn't mean much if to get it, you have to hurt the ones you depend on."

"'Maybe Christmas,' he thought, 'doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.'"

"Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to."

"There's room for everyone on the nice list."

Hopefully they will make you laugh.
