Reason's to Just Be Happy

We forget to just be happy so here is a list.

Reason's to Just Be Happy
Compfight

Lately, when I get on social media I feel myself getting really down about the condition the world is in. I am not only concerned with the political side of it all, but the attitude of people, and I understand that people are just expressing their opinions, which I think is great. These days it seems the world is more divided than ever. I want to use this time to remind people there are tons of reasons to smile.

1. Puppies exist. Well, dogs in general exist.

2. Ice cream is incredible. (There are over thousands of ice cream flavors. You literally can have it any way you want).

3. You are alive. (breathe. Right there is a reason to be happy).

4. Wine is a thing.

5. Leggings are now a fashion statement... That means no pants.

6. JEGGINGS ARE COOL!!

7. Grey's Anatomy has not been cancelled. (THANK GOD)

8. They have 79 cent pops at almost any midwest gas station.

9. Gas has been cheap. (that is always a plus).

10. It is now okay to put bacon on literally everything! Bacon with your PB &J? Sure, no one judges because it is bacon.

11. A male is a cover girl! ( what an incredible time to be alive).

12. All day Netflix? Fine, No one judges.

13. Disney movie's are becoming live action.

14. Old classic sitcoms are coming back for reunions.

15. Coconut oil exists. (You literally can do anything with that stuff).

16. Cats are cool.

17. Music. Music is such a powerful underrated thing. (I think that everyone should learn to play an instrument).

18. Babies are amazing.

19. Children are amazing. ( If you need to remember what is important in the world just hang with a child).

20. You can just about get anything deep fried these days.

21. Every fast food place has a value menu. (Now that is good my friends)

22. God is good. Actually, pretty amazing.

23. Pizza can be a meal three times a day.

24. You can be anything you want to be in today's world.

25. I, as a female have the right to protest.

26. We as Americans have the right to protest. (there are many countries that do not have that right).

27. WE LIVE IN AN INCREDIBLE COUNTRY.

28. Cake is good for any occasion.

This list was meant to be relaxed, because sometimes we all need daily reminders when we are freaking out about life. We spend so much time dwelling on things that are happening that we do not like that we forget to remind ourselves of all that we do like. It is important to remember life is not that bad. Situations are not bad. We are not bad. We are simply human and we forget to enjoy the little things in this world. The little things are crucial and they are important. So literally, cherish the small things, because they do matter.

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?

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.
