I Needed a "Happy" Playlist, And You Need One Too

Everypixel

As we approach the middle of summer, there is one task I completed that changed my life. At the start of summer I decided to make a Spotify playlist called "Let's be Happy Today".I believe that everyone should make a playlist and designate it as a happy one, weather your happy music is upbeat pop or mellow indie. I believe that there are many benefits of having a happy playlist. The following are a couple of benefits of having a designated happy playlist.

You always have something to play in the car

Everyone who has an aux cord or bluetooth in their car knows the struggle of not knowing what to play. There have been many times where I have gotten into my car and played a single song over and over simply because I have no idea what to play next.

It can double even triple and become more than just one playlist

My happy playlist is actually used for more than just one occasion. I listen to it while I am working out as well as when I am getting ready in the morning. The songs put me in an amazing mood and are a great way for me to jump start my day!

It is a great way for you to learn about your music taste

When I was deciding to create the playlist I had no idea what I was going to include. All I know was that the first song was going to be "Better Not" by Louis the Child. After adding that one song, I started listening to more kinds of music as well as being exposed to different types of music from friends. Whenever a song made me feel happy I would just add it to the playlist, the songs are all of a similar genre and I am now able to say one of my favorite types of music is dance/electronic!

You have music to share with others

Everyone loves music that makes them happy, I mean that is pretty much why we all listen to music right. To feel good and happy. When you have this playlist you can share these songs with the people around you and vice versa. My best friend Natalie showed me the song "Magic in the Hamptons" by Social House and I loved it so much I added it so my playlist.

It creates good vibes all day, everyday

Imagine listening to music what reminds you of happy times in your life. When you make a playlist you are able to relive those moments through the course of the song. The songs on the playlist are all songs that you enjoy and love.

That's right I have a happy playlist and you should to. It is honesty the best decision I have made this summer, all these songs are going to be my summer songs and since I go to school in Arizona it's going to be my all year songs! Feel free to follow my spotify @manaphouthavong to see my happy playlist titled "Let's be happy today (:".

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?

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?

Most families love to watch Christmas movies, but these beloved films provide more than entertainment. Here are 10 life lessons that I've learned from the holiday classics we watch every year.

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.

1."But what would happen if we all tried to be like Santa and learned to give as only he can give: of ourselves, our talents, our love and our hearts? Maybe we could all learn Santa's beautiful lesson and maybe there would finally be peace on Earth and good will toward men."

"Sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see."

"If you won't use your heart, who cares if it gets broken? If you just keep it to yourself, maybe it'll be like my rollerblades. When you do decide to try it, it won't be any good. You should take a chance. Got nothing to lose."

"Remember, no man is a failure who has friends."

"Life is made up of meetings and partings. That is the way of it."

"If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find a that love actually is all around."

"Sometimes things look good on paper, but lose their luster when you see how it affects real folks. I guess a healthy bottom line doesn't mean much if to get it, you have to hurt the ones you depend on."

"'Maybe Christmas,' he thought, 'doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.'"

"Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to."

"There's room for everyone on the nice list."

Hopefully they will make you laugh.
