Have you ever had just THE worst day ever? That nothing ever goes right? There have been many times that I have felt this way. Sometimes it feels like it never stops and there is no where to turn. After a series of unfortunate events, I have found the key to happiness. Simply, a smile is all it takes. I was coming back to my second home in Tiffin (Heidelberg University), a two hour car drive. I had been thinking of all the things I needed to accomplish from now till the end of finals. I could feel the stress building up and up, until one of my favorite songs came on. I couldn't help but notice that I was smiling like an idiot. I began to feel so much better just by listening to my favorite song and a simple smile. It is amazing how much the little things mean to us. I started to think of all the good things in my life. Whether that be the friends and the memories I have made or just having good, overall health, I had eased my stress and appreciated life even more.

So, Remember:

When you feel like you are having the absolute worst day ever or nothing seems to go your way, remember the little things that make you happy and do them!

Appreciate the things in your life that are going right!

And, a simple smile is all it takes to make your day a little better!
