47. Go through old school work and try to figure out how I passed these classes.

48. Think of all the reasons that professors shouldn't give finals.

49. Make a countdown for.... anything.

52. Go to coffee shops and buy over-priced normal coffee for an artsy picture.

53. Try catching up with people I haven't spoken to in weeks.

54. Add high school teachers on Facebook.

55. Dance.

56. Accidentally drop my phone on my face while holding it above my head.

57. Create a bullet journal.

58. Make a list of things I need to do.

59. Don't actually do a single thing on that list.

60. Take a deep breath because in reality I need to study for my finals.

However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
