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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
