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.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
