As we're entering March, most of us are still in that January/February lull and sluggish mindset. Spring and Spring break are so close we can taste it, but yet so far away. Here are 8 positive sayings to help get you through the week.

1. "Optimism is a happiness magnet. If you stay positive, good things and good people will be drawn to you." -Mary Lou Retton

Sometimes you need to make sure you're radiating the positivity you want to receive in your life. People see you happy, they will want to join in.

2. "Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them." -Marcus Aurelius

We forget that our world recently filled with sadness is still filled with beauty. Whether it's looking at the stars or a walk in nature, the world has so much beauty to offer us.

3. "Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow." -Hellen Keller

If you keep your head up and positivity level up, you won't focus on the stress or sad things in life, like Keller says, look at the positive like the sunshine, it drowns out the shadows.

4. "Delete the negative; accentuate the positive!" -Donna Karan

If you have negative thoughts, delete them. It's as simple as that. You can't have a negative mindset if you want to achieve your goals in life.

5. “I have the ability to build myself up or break myself down. I stay positive. Strength comes from within." -Hayley Williams

You are the only one who can build yourself up, and find the inner strength to do so. Staying positive will make you feel better, inside and out.

6. "In every day, there are 1,440 minutes. That means we have 1,440 daily opportunities to make a positive impact." -Les Brown

Every minute of our lives is precious, and how we spend them makes an impact. If we let opportunities slip away because we thought negatively about them, it's a waste of our time.

7. "Your attitude is like a box of crayons that color your world. Constantly color your picture gray, and your picture will always be bleak. Try adding some bright colors to the picture by including humor, and your picture begins to lighten up." -Allen Klein


Life needs some humor and bright colors, so don't always be bleak and color in gray. Try to look at every situation with a bit of color.

8. "The most important thing is to enjoy your life - to be happy - it's all that matters." -Audrey Hepburn

At the end of the day, your happiness is most important. So keep smiling, and try to be positive in the hardest of times.

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?
