5 Ways To Stay Happy

At this point in the year, everyone is done. Whether that be with work, school, or just the slow burn out of being half way through the year. No matter how you see it, everyone is at the point of no motivation and I mean -400 percent of motivation. So here are just a few simple ways to stay happy.

1. Look up at the sky.

The sky is filled with wonderful things. The sun shines for everything. It brings warmth and life to the earth. Then, we have the clouds! They are beautiful, fluffy, puffy clouds. The ones that you used to find pictures in. And of course, we have the big blue sky. The clear blue, the bright blue, the blue that grows brighter and darker as the day goes on; the best kind of sky.

2. Eat something yummy.

Yum! Are you a salty person? Maybe a sweetie-pie? Whichever you are enjoy something for yourself." Treat yo Self"

3. Netflix.

As stereotypical as it is, "Netflix and Chill," **by yourself** is some of the best therapy out there. Watch your guilty pleasure, do the binge watch and pop yourself some microwave popcorn. Then, lay on the bed, grab a blanket, sit back and relax.

4. SLEEP.

Sleep is so important and even though it's stressed in our culture, there is a severe lack of it. People are putting their school, work, and everything else but themselves first. Sometimes, you need to take a step back and nap. Naps are bae.

5. Exercise.

Yes, moving. How very anti-lazy. But believe it or not, exercise makes you happy. When you get up and move around, good things happen. Your body releases a chemical, endorphin's, and they make you happy. So get up off of your butt and run wild and free.

If you do all of these and still feel gross.... not possible. These are fool proof. I know this for a fact. And remember, stay happy.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
