6 Ways To Ensure You Have A Good Morning, Even If You Woke Up On The Wrong Side Of The Bed

Sometimes waking up is hard. You might be so tired and think, "this is going to be the worst day." So while your day, in general, might suck a little, here are some tips to ensure you have a good (or at least decent) morning.

1. Get a good night's sleep

It's probably going to be really difficult to have a good day if you are running on 3 hours of sleep. So make sure you get however much sleep you need for yourself to survive and not be in the worst mood of your life.

2. Wash your face

Washing your face can really help wake you up. Also, your face will feel clean and everybody loves a clean face.

3. Drink water


I do drink coffee or tea almost every day of my life, but I always drink water first. If I don't drink water I will end up feeling super dehydrated not even an hour later. And it's just a healthy thing. If you search things like "How To Be Healthy" on Pinterest I am sure most people will say, "drink water!" So overall, it's just a healthy habit.

4. Eat breakfast


You should definitely always try to eat something for breakfast, even if it is just a granola bar. You will feel better and you won't feel like you are about to die of starvation the hour before lunch.

5. Make time to ensure you have everything you need for the day

Getting your books and whatever else you need for your classes together before you go is really important. You might think you are having a good morning until you get to your Spanish class and realize your backpack is actually just empty. So I would strongly advise giving yourself a couple minutes in the morning to get everything together.

6. Listen to music

I listen to music every morning. Doing something I enjoy during a time I really don't want to be awake is essential for me if I want to make it through the day. But listen to something a cool and upbeat, not something sad or angry. Unless that's what really gets you going for the day.

So if you want to have an okay morning, I would recommend doing some if not all of these things. You might actually feel like you can get through the day. And that's a feeling we could all use.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
