“Be” Series, Part I

Increasing your flow of happiness, positivity, and motivation on the daily
So, I blog a lot on my Instagram, and I feel like even for all that I’m putting out there, you guys are still missing out! Soo — I decided to create a “Be Series” right here on Odyssey so I can send all of y’all the positive vibes and inspiration I can offer✨💕
Here is to the first of many

Be Happy


“Never allow yourself to get lost in the darkness of others.” Surround yourself with people who make you smile and bring out the best in you. The type of people that will make you forget your worries in a second AND help you grow from them. Surround yourself with only the real, and the positive🌞💖 Can you figure out who these people in your life are? If not, maybe it’s time for a change. If yes, there’s one more thing to be grateful for😉 #dailyinspiration


Sometimes we just need to let go. I know it’s hard when we have so much going on — every little thing starts to build up and you just want to scream. “Shit, I should have studied more. Why does my dad always demand so much of me? How is it that I’m always there for her and she’s not there for me?” All these concerns are valid, but you know what we also call them? Toxic thoughts. One and another and another and all of a sudden you’re drowning in the muck. But who said it has to be this way? You are SO freaking strong💪🏼👨🏾💻 — like, more than you know. And for every little thing that may get you down, just know that there is something beautiful out there waiting to extend it’s hand and pull you back up. It could be a friend, a new hobby you’ve discovered, a simple 20 minute facial, or nap, even a short game on the field. Sometimes we get swamped under our worries and the pressures of life. But just know that life also offers a lot of beauty. Step outside dammit☘️🌷😛So you know what I say? When you’re feeling down, take a breath and pick up your pen. Take 2 minutes to compile a list of 7 things that you are grateful for today. It will work, I promise. Because sometimes in the overwhelmingness of our worries we don’t realize what we DO have. Because sometimes, to get out of the darkness, you only need follow the smallest spark of light🌤🕊 Have an amazing day loves and good luck😘💕


Ever have a hard time finding the positive or just feel like shit? How about you start off with this: Be grateful for the people in your life. I truly believe that the man most loved is quite richer than he who posses the greatest wealth in diamonds. Basically y’all, after everything, what are you left with? Love. What gets you through tough times? Love. What’s the one thing you can always count on? Love. Whenever you feel down or life gets to you, just think of the incredible people in your life🌞 The family who will never leave your side, the friends that have become family, and the strangers yet waiting to become your friend. There is so much hope and happiness and beauty in the realization that you’re not alone… and you’re not, no matter what you think. If you ever feel this way, just know there is someone out there waiting to love you. Be grateful for the people in your life. The people who hug you when you cry, who crack up with you over the stupidest things, who get up with you in the middle of the night to bake cookies or go out or sit side by side on your freaking phones. Money is temporary but love is forever. You’re not alone babes, I promise. And that’s all I got for now😘 Sending good vibes💓

Oh yea, Christmas. It’s time to take out all of the decorations and Christmas themed things that have been sitting in the attic since last year; it’s time to make a reappearance. So, here are 10 things that happen the second Thanksgiving is over.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
