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.

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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
