Alison Houghton

Lately, the world has been a kinda scary place to live in. With so many terrorist attacks, natural disasters, horrific shootings, and angry protestors, it can seem really hard to crack a smile. It's easy to feel hopeless and afraid of the world, but with the Holiday season right around the corner it seems wrong to be anything but jolly. Life can be scary, but don't let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game! Even though the world can be frightening, here are 25 things to make you smile right now.

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 have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. 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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
