So, if you you're having a bad day, or just need a little something to turn that frown upside down... Enjoy these random, and probably useless facts that simply just make me smile! I hope they make you smile too!

1. Sea horses hold each others tails when traveling. The men also carry and produce the babies

It's so cute. I can't. Like just heart warmed. Bam. As for the babies, at least one man on this earth gets the pain. LOL>

2. Rainbows can occur at night... They're called "moonbows"

Life goal; see a moonbow, and shout "IT'S A MOONBOW"

I feel like there'd be a unicorn chilling nearby, I mean come on, A NIGHT RAINBOW!!

3. Squirrels help to plant thousands of trees a year. But it's because they're forgetful... They forget where they put their acorns, A.K.A their food source

Don't feel bad if you're forgetful... Sometimes it can really be a good thing. So the next time you're hard on yourself for forgetting, remember this!

4. Some people actually believe chocolate milk is produced by brown cows

As long as you don't believe this, you're going somewhere in life. I promise, you will be okay.

5. Crocodiles can not stick their tongues out

Poor things!

6. Monday, January 27th is National Bubble Wrap Appreciation day

With all the odd, national holidays that have been created.. I am so happy this exists. I mean like, yeah, GO bubble wrap!

7. Penguins propose to their (potential) lifetime mate by offering them a pebble

Giphy

I. Want. A. Pebble.

This fact also always reminds me of the Halloween Charlie Brown special, when the little boy holds his hand up and says, "I got a rock"

8. Shakira was kicked out of her choir as a kid because they thought she was a bad singer. And Madonna worked at Dunkin before becoming famous

Never give up on your dreams. That is all I have to say.

9. Dolphins get high by playing with pufferfish

The poison in puffer fish released when they puff up, gets the dolphins high.

It just goes to show, that everyone needs to take some time to relax and have fun. It's okay to live your life.

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?

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?

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.
