Recently, I have been going through a lot which has put me down a little but I always remember that there is something to be happy about. Everyone goes through something, we all have our hard times. Always remember that no matter how difficult it is or how horrible and sad you feel, there is always something to make you smile. You are beautiful and loved as you are but the more you smile and the happier you become, the more you will love yourself. On this list, there are small things to be happy about and there are big things, they all count. I hope this list helps you smile and be happy about something.

1. You woke up, you're alive, and you're breathing

2. Your family

3. Knowing that you're beautiful, because you are

4. Eating dessert

5. Singing along to really loud music

6. The Eagles going to the Super Bowl

7. Nice People

8. Being smiled at

9. The outdoors

10. Good grades

11. The Bachelor

12. When the sun hits your face and warms you up

13. Drinking ice cold water when you’re hot

14. Working out

15. When your favorite song comes on the radio

16. True friendship

17. Immediately smiling after seeing that one person’s name pop up on your phone

18. Seeing the people you love happy

19. Saying bye to f*ckboys

20. Exploring new places

21. Seeing a rainbow on a cloudy day

22. Climbing into bed after a really long day

23. Sleeping in

24. Warm weather

25. Seeing someone you haven’t seen in a long time and getting the biggest hug ever

26. Being made your favorite meal

27. Accomplishing something that you are very proud of

28. Being appreciated

29. Feeling the breeze from the ocean against your skin

30. Looking at a bright blue ocean

31. Having a crush on someone

32. Dancing with your friends

33. Doing makeup

34. The ability to get an education

35. Baseball boys

36. Memes

37. SoulCycle

38. Making someone smile

39. Coffee

40. Playing your favorite sport

41. Late night chats

42. Sweater weather

43. Road trips

44. A freshly made bed

45. When you’re cold, putting on a sweatshirt right out of the dryer

46. Checking something off your to-do list

I know life is hard, we have all been there. Always remember how important you are and your life is. You mean so much to so many people around you and you should never forget that. Everyday find something to smile about, every day brings something new. If you are a live, then you have a reason to be happy. If you have a bed to sleep on or a roof over your head, you have a reason to be happy.

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?

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.

1. Why are towels considered dirty when you get out of the shower clean?

4. If you drop soap on the floor is the floor clean or the soap dirty?

5. Is the "S" or the "C" silent in the word "scent"?

6. Does expecting the unexpected make the unexpected the expected?

7. Would Lightning McQueen buy car insurance or life insurance?

8. Who put the alphabet in alphabetical order?

9. What color are mirrors?

10. If 2 mind readers read each other's minds whose mind are they really reading?

11. Is there a synonym for "synonym"?

12. If your shirt isn't tucked into your pants, are your pants tucked into your shirt?

13. Why is it called "quick sand" if you sink slowly in it?

14. If I try to fail, but succeed, which one did I do?

15. If Cinderella's shoe fit perfectly, why did it fall off?
