25 Things To Smile About

If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years, it’s that misery loves company. It’s easy to be caught up in all the negative of the day-to-day BUT we all have the choice to have a good day every single morning. Here’s a little list of things to be happy about right now!

  1. Dogs exist!
  2. There are thousands of puppy accounts to follow on Instagram
  3. Someone’s birthday is today
  4. Finding leftovers that you forgot about
  5. Coffee can be hot or iced
  6. There are so many ways to eat potatoes
  7. Laying in a towel after a shower
  8. The world is filled with so much natural beauty: the sky, the trees, the mountains, and the oceans
  9. Sitting around a fire with friends
  10. Breakfast dates
  11. Watching the sunset
  12. Reading a good book
  13. Putting on sweatpants after you just shaved your legs
  14. The fact that everything is temporary
  15. Good days and bad days all only have 24 hours
  16. You have the power to choose how you look at a situation
  17. Getting into bed with fresh and clean sheets
  18. A warm blanket when you’re cold
  19. A hug when you need it most
  20. Rainy days where you can just lounge around inside all day
  21. Spontaneous adventures
  22. Long heart to hearts in a parked car
  23. Drives around town just for the heck of it
  24. There is no one alive who is quite like you
  25. You are alive, breathing, and you made it to a new day. That’s doing pretty darn well if you ask me.

Decide to see the good in every single day and appreciate this precious life. There are blessings all around you, if you look hard enough.

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable.

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition
Edited by Hailey Hastings

I am fully emersed into diving deep into every single Taylor Swift album, which I do on my own all the time, but wanted to do it in a way where I am sharing what a special discography she has. I feel like 1989 is the perfect place to start, it's an era that changed everything, and will always be an album people automatically think of when you say "Taylor Swift."
