Dr. Seuss once said, “Adults are just outdated children” and I think that is true.

Learn From The Kids...

What can we learn from kids?

So much!

First off, their love for life and adventure is infectious; even just looking at kids can make us happy because they are full of joy. Children are often pros at seeing the world through a positive and magical lens. Never afraid to explore their imagination and find fun in the little things, we can learn a lot from kids! Dr. Seuss once said, “Adults are just outdated children” and I think that is true. So, here is a list of ten pictures that will hopefully let you feel like a kid again, forget about your stress for a few minutes, and embrace the beautiful chaos of life!


1. Good Morning

Nothing is cuter than sleepy and cuddly kids! This child in particular is easy to relate to... waking up is hard! This picture makes embracing of the cozy life quite inviting though!

2. Best Seat in the House

We might not be able to sit on our Dad's shoulders anymore, but this little one can still remind us that we can lean on each other whenever needed. And wow, what a great photo capturing life's happiness.

3. Be the "Dancing Queen"

This kid has it figured out! Life is a great reason in itself to celebrate. So get up and dance!

4. Sing in the Shower

Even the simplest

moments in life can be fun, so remember to embrace the little things!

5. Call up your Friends

Laughter is the best medicine they say, and who can make you laugh more than some of your greatest friends! In college, we often live very far from friends. This can't stop you though from having a good time together!

6. The Surfer Boy

Those little legs might not be quite ready to hit the waves, but that little boy sure does appear ready for some fun adventure! Try something new and enjoy it!

7. The Painter

Channeling her artistic spirit this girl wears her art nicely! How could this photo not make you smile?

8. The Inventors


Sick of walking down the stairs? How about flying down in a new "space jet" or zooming down them in a "car"? As we grow, our creative imagination seems to be locked away, but sometimes it's okay to hold on to that playfulness!

9. Forever Friends

Remember when you'd exchange friendship bracelets, one half of the heart said "friends" and the other half said "forever". I always exchanged those with my sisters, and they were true- we will be friends forever. These kids above also know how to embrace friendship. Hands held together and feet up in the air, never forget the power of love within friendships!

10. Chill Out

All too often, we spend our time freaking out about every gritty detail in our days. This girl knows what life is about! As her shirt reads and her spirit speaks, "It's OK". And it is, really, OK. Life goes on and we're here for each other. So, let go of your worries and embrace life to it's fullest, like kids do!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
