Turn on your TV or open Instagram on your phone. I guarantee you that within a few minutes something negative will come into your bubble. Everywhere we turn, someone is complaining about something, people are fighting, and the world is sinking into a deep black hole of negativity. It's everywhere.

With this constant stream of negativity, my mood is becoming seriously affected. I'm always in a bad mood. I tell myself to find the good in my life to help get me through it but honestly, there are days when that just isn't enough.

I'm going to get on a cheesy pedestal and say that I only want good vibes. I want only cheerfulness and smiles because life is getting to be just a little too bleak for my taste. Life shouldn't feel like a chore. I should be this amazing adventure filled with laughs and happiness. Not a big gray cloud filled with a bunch of blah.

I'm giving off major hippie vibes right now but c'mon, am I wrong? I can't be the only one who is just tired of all of the complaining and fighting. I want a high-quality life and if that means pushing out every force of negativity, I will do it.

I will push against all of the negativity just to get one more smile in my life, one more positive interaction.

Life will always have its bumps and hard days. I realize that, but if I am going to be on this great earth for a long time, I've got to have something to get me through it. For every frown, I want two smiles. I want a higher quality of life and more happiness.

We will always have wars, arguments, and bad days. Life wouldn't be life without them, but I have to believe that if I give off good vibes, I can receive them. Let's make this world a little less bleak and spread all of the good vibes.

Let's all become hippies together. Let's have more smiles, more hugs, and more good vibes. Peace out my babes.

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?

Happy Birthday Cake

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?

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.
