42 Things You Should Be Happy Exist

"Things never happen the same way twice, dear one."

I'd said it jokingly, but she looked into my eyes and responded with this quote from "Prince Caspian," entirely serious. There's hope in the words my best friend uttered that day. Because I'll be honest, it's Dead Week, and I'm a little down in the dumps. I try not to be. I plaster a smile on my face, respond that I'm doing fine when people ask, and kick myself a little bit for lying.

Sometimes it feels like the world is out to make sure you never win. And, I'm going to be honest, occasionally that's true. But I'm coming to realize that happiness doesn't depend on your immediate circumstances, but how you choose to handle them.

So I may or may not have made a list of "My Favorite Things." Yes, play the song from "The Sound Of Music" in the background, because that's basically what this is. The very existence of these things - or people, for that matter - should please you immensely. If they don't, that's okay. Just add your own in.

1. Babies of all kinds.

2. Music.

3. SO MANY LANGUAGES!

4. Frosting.

5. Insulin.

It's immensely helpful for me this time of year.

6. Dolphins.

7. Tom Holland.

A gift to this world.

8. Luna Lovegood.

9. Books.

10. Pancakes.

11. Friends.

By which I mean my favorite people, but hey, the show's awesome too. And the GIF worked.

12. Chris Pratt.

13. Jennifer Lawrence.

14. Blank notebooks.

15. Robert Downey, Jr.

16. Actually, legitimately just every person ever cast in a Marvel film.

17. Any accented character from "Star Trek."

And no, the numerical order in which these two showed up was not unironic.

18. Myers Briggs.

INFJ. Yeeeahhhh booyyyyy....

19. Moms.

20. Star Trek in general.

The Captain and the Doctor approve.

21. Purple pens.

22. Stars.

23. Christmas lights.

24. How I Met Your Mother.

25. Lin Manuel Miranda.

26. Lucy Pevensie.

Speaking of that quote from earlier...

27. Oversized sweatshirts.

28. Kate Middleton.

29. Hope.

30. Love.

31. Movie quotes.

32. The Princess Bride in general.

33. Beauty and the Beast.

34. Renaissance faires.

Because where else do you get to be a complete dork and get no judgment whatsoever? And wear a pretty dress while doing it?

35. Isaiah 41:10.

"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." (NIV)

36. My fellow Hufflepuffs.

You guys make my life.

37. David Tennant and Catherine Tate.

38. Tom Hiddleston.

39. Fall.

40. Karaoke.

41. Fuzzy socks.

42. Warm blankets.

With that, I bid you all good night. Hopefully the fact that these things exist brought you some joy this day.

13 Times April Ludgate Perfectly Explained College

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

101

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

Being A Senior: The Best And Worst Of It

Graduation is coming.

Loyola University Chicago

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.

Because Chandler Bing should be everyone's spirit animal.

Stetson University

Zimbio

Ah, Ms. Chanandler Bong, or Chandler Bing as he is better known as. For 10 years, Chandler brought us many laughs, many tears, and, well, Matthew Perry's fame. He is, personally, my favorite character on "Friends" because he made me laugh more than any other character on the show and I felt like I could relate to him more than the other characters on the show. Anyway, here are 10 Chandler Bing quotes that anyone can relate to... or graduates can at least...
