10 Bob Ross Quotes To Help You Paint Your Best Life
https://www.flickr.com/photos/haiden1991/549347271

This past semester my friends and I have come up with a new tradition, painting with Bob Ross. At least once a month we gather together with our $1 acrylic paints, our paper plates we use as canvases, and our paintbrushes. Although our creations may not always come out looking like they should, the experience is fun and somewhat uplifting. Why? Well, because of Bob narration of course! While he paints, Bob often said many things that can strike a chord with everyday people. Quotes about simply enjoying the process of painting can be applied in a way to reflect on your life.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
