9 Things That Make Me Happy

1. Old Couples

Old couples prove that love lasts. Seeing elderly couples hold hands, laugh together, kiss, and look into each others eyes makes my heart happy no matter how I was previously feeling.

2. Love


Similar to the happiness that old couples evoke, seeing acts of love gives me the butterflies every single time. From a first date to a wedding, the prospect of true love never fails to make me smile.

3. Wishes


Whether it's picking a dandelion and blowing its seeds into the wide open, tossing a penny into a fountain, or waiting for the clock to strike 11:11, making wishes fills me with hope and happiness every single time.

4. Blasting music with the windows down


This may just be a California thing with our constantly beautiful weather, but nothing makes me feel as free as driving around with my windows down and blasting whatever annoying pop song I'm currently obsessed with.

5. Watching people sing


Whether it's Queen B at the Super Bowl or a random street performer playing his guitar, somehow, whenever I see anyone sing at the top of their lungs, their happiness radiates

6. Sunshine


Do I even need to explain?

7. Beaches

This is definitely another California thing, but the beach and ocean never fail to lift my spirits. I promise you that beach vibes are actually a thing. After going to the beach and swimming in the ocean, playing SpikeBall on the sand, and blasting my speaker, I always leave with a smile on my face.

8. Happy dogs


What's better than playing with a dog that licks your face and wags its tail? Answer: absolutely nothing.

9. Receiving mail


Not just any mail, but surprise mail that isn't a bill or an advertisement. Mail that someone actually took the time to write you.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
