With A Positive Mindset, You Can Have The Time Of Your Life

As a person who can easily get lost in the dark corridors of my mind, I understand how difficult it can be sometimes to maintain a smile on my face for the sake of passing just another ridiculous day.

And sometimes it can get even harder when all you want to do is enjoy your day, enjoy your time -- enjoy your Summer.

Keeping a positive mindset isn't easy, albeit of how hard one tries. Keeping a positive mind is a tremendous and difficult challenge, one that will make you go through tough situations.

It's a hard situation, one which we should never give up on because keeping a positive mindset affects many areas in our life:

It does not affect just our mental health, but also our physical health, our social bonds, the way we go about through the day.

You can say I'm an advocate of loving yourself and all that crap you might find obnoxious because that's what everybody always tell us: "You'll be fine." "Things will change for the greater." "You don't have to worry about it.""You're just exaggerating."

The level of hyperbolization we use sometimes is a mirror of the state in which our mental health is, and just know that it is okay to feel the way you are feeling; it be mad, sad, anxious, terrified. All those negative feelings are understandable. We all feel them. Hell, even I get angry many times, and people usually think I am just a sweetheart who would never hurt an ant.

A great mind once said, "The only thing impossible is impossibility." And fortunately, for us, the word "impossible" is more of a subjective term. You determine the impossible realities of life. And once you do this, you'll realize that every problem has a solution.

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
