It's Okay To Be Happy

Just smile.

One of the most important moods in life is to be happy. Who wants to live full of misery and gloom? Being happy is a wonderful feeling because it's a key to the insight of joy. What would life be without happiness? I think it's good to just be happy and enjoy life before it ends.

Everyone goes through something. Whether it's financial struggle, death, or relationship problems. Remember there is only one key factor of your life: YOU. You are the only option to make yourself light up. No matter what it is that's bothering you, always remember to put a smile on your face. Like Kirk Franklin's song Smile, there are going to be more obstacles to come but even when you're hurt you smile.

Whenever you take a picture, or when you are out with friends, smiling is the key to your day. God created you to live and you should always be grateful to do so. So let's stay postitive. Whenever you are feeling depressed, just look at the mirror and tell yourself that "Everything is going to be alright". This naturally doesn't happen everyday, but there is never a rule to start now!

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
