8 Things To Do If You Are In Need Of Some Laughter

When life gets ahead of you, it is easy to find yourself feeling down in the dumps and drained of your usual vibrant energy. Instead of succumbing to the fatigue and negativity, give yourself over to laughter and comedy. Although life can really suck sometimes, there is something beautiful and funny around every corner just waiting for the right moment to strike. So, sit back, relax, and let yourself go. It is time to smile and laugh, and here are some ways to expedite the process.

1. Watch "Impractical Jokers"

If you are not familiar with this hilarious TV show or the four ridiculous men that run it, you are missing out. The ringleaders themselves, Sal, Joe, Murr, and Q, are four life-long best friends that make comedic gold out of embarrassing each other. Their situational humor is quirky, edgy, and sometimes just blissfully stupid. If anything, their humor is mindless and entertaining, and what more could you ask for?


2. Imagine a flock of ruthless pigeons dropping massive sh*ts on the heads of all your enemies.

I think this one speaks for itself. Just picture it. That's some compelling imagery right there.


3. Look up videos of fainting goats.

You will NOT be disappointed.


4. Listen to some of Bo Burnham's songs on YouTube or watch one of his full-length comedy shows.

Bo Burnham's humor is not for the faint of heart, so tread lightly while exploring his videos. Bo is special because he uses music to convey a lot of his comedy, and in this he also brings up really important social critiques. If you love satire, you'll love Bo.


5. Drop everything you're doing and watch John Mulaney.

"New in Town" and "The Comeback Kid" are his hour-long comedy specials featured on Netflix. John is perfectly adorkable and awkward and his stories will have you rolling on your floor.


6. Stick a fake mustache on your TV.

Perhaps this one sounds a little juvenile, but it is definitely giggle-worthy. It's probably even funnier if alcohol is in the mix, but you can conduct this experiment perfectly sober. Place the mustache strategically on your screen so it has a better chance of landing on multiple faces. That way, you get more laughs out of the deal.

7. Watch this epic argument.

Once again, I don't know why goats are so funny.


8. Search for videos of Joe Machi doing stand-up.

You'll love Joe! He is so incredibly awkward and outrageous that his mannerisms and catchphrases alone will have you in tears. He only gets better though, because once he really starts with his edgy jokes, you are sure to laugh your head off.

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."
