9 Great Things We Still Have Post Election

Quote

With the new President-Elect, many people think that the world is going to end and basically think that we are doomed. Well, news flash...we aren't. You can get on any type of social media profile and see some sort of opinion on the election results and let me tell you, it is a bit old. So here are some positive things that we still have in life to look forward to every day.

1.) DOGS

I'm sorry but dogs are absolutely great!!! You can not tell me that you do not feel the slightest bit of joy when you see a little puppy learning about everything for the first time. Which by the way, to all the people that may be moving to Canada because Trump won, some parts do not allow pit bulls so have fun with that.

2.) CHRISTMAS

IT IS CALLED THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR FOR A REASON. You very rarely see anyone that upset about it being Christmas. Everyone is happy and cheerful, you get to visit family you have not seen in a while, ugly Christmas sweaters are amazing, you get to give people presents, and oh yeah Baby Jesus and Santa stuff are EVERYWHERE.

3.) PARADES

Whether you are watching them on TV or in person you can not help but smile while watching it. You can not be upset or angry while you watch the Macy's Thanksgiving day parade. It just does not work that way.

4.) BALLOONS

Seriously most everyone is happy around balloons. Some may be afraid of balloons, but it's always fun to kick around balloons and see how long you can keep them up in the air.

5.) PIZZA

I should not have to explain this one honestly.

6.) REALITY TV SHOWS

We will always want to watch and see who gets a rose, who wins the mirror ball trophy, which toddler won the tiara, and which real housewife ruined a dinner by throwing a class at someone. It keeps us from worrying about the issues sometimes and even makes us thankful that we do not do that.

7.) DISNEY MOVIES

It is really hard to be negative while watching an old Disney movie. Animated Disney movies and Pixar movies also make us forget about the real world for a little while. You also may get a catchy song from a movie stuck in your head for a few days.

8.) PUMPKIN SPICE LATTES

This may be the stereotypical white girl coming out in me but seriously any good pumpkin spice latte automatically makes my soul ten times happier. Even a pumpkin spice frappuccino is pretty good on a hot fall day (if you do not live in the south then you probably do not understand.)

9.) FAMILY & FRIENDS

At the end of the day, you still have tons of people who love you, care about you, and want to see you be the happiest you can be. And I am sure they do not want you upset ever.

So yes the election results may be unpleasing to some, and great for others. But just remember these 9 things that still make the life great.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
