We all have bad days, be it from stress at work, school or just life in general. We wallow in our own sadness sometimes, which is fine, but when that happens we need to take the time to appreciate the positive things we already have in our lives. Even the simplest things can bring us the most joy.

1. Cats: fluffy, purring bundles of joy.

2. Sunshine: the more vitamin D the better.

3. Netflix: netflix and chill? More like binging Orange Is The New Black till 4am.

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.

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.
