6 Small Things To Purchase For Your Happiness

In This Article:

Please don't do what I do and buy things to avoid your problems.

However, I will say that whoever said money can't buy you happiness was a liar. There are small things you can get to perk you up a little, lighten your spirits and brighten your day. I'm not saying spend your entire paycheck at once, that's dangerous. BUT, I am saying sometimes needing a pick-me-up is one hundred percent OK!

Please don't go all Willy Wonka and The Chocolate factory on me, but I think a small, sweet, sugary snack at times can bring you a smile. I know they have the cheap little bags of chocolate. Or maybe buy yourself some Starbursts or Skittles.

It's a great place to reflect on your day, say what you're thankful for, jot down your goals, hopes and dreams. Or maybe you just want to doodle, which is perfectly acceptable too! Either way, having a place to collect your thoughts is very crucial to your happiness. Knowing what you want and having a place to look at those goals and see if you're actively achieving them makes achieving them seem more possible.

Okay, these are so cheap but having a new scrunchie to go with each of your outfits can really change your outlook on the day. It's a small accessory, some might even think unimportant. However, it can add a little pop to your outfit and that pop might be what you need to take your day from good to great. And there are so many cool, multicolored headbands now that you can really find something that will stand out.

You can always get some cool stickers to put on your notebooks/computers/water bottles/etc. They really say so much about your interests and your personality without you having to say much of anything. And they are certainly inexpensive.

Nail Polish

If you get a whole entire manicure, that's always great, but even if you can't I think that buying a new shade of nail polish and then applying it is a great way to pick up your spirits and have something to look down at and say, "I did that!" Also, people are gonna give you hella compliments and if you're into that, that's a great way to get there.

New Soap

Taking care of your hands is important. I think every so often finding a new soap scent that also makes your hands feel clean and soft will make you want to wash them even more. Besides, killing germs while smelling nice is everyone's dream, right?

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Daydreaming

day·dream (ˈdāˌdrēm/): a series of pleasant thoughts that distract one's attention from the present.

Daydreams, the savior of our life in class. Every type of student in the classroom does it at least once, but most cases it is an everyday event, especially in that boring class -- you know the one. But what are we thinking while we are daydreaming?

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.
