Reason's to Just Be Happy

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.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
