There's lots of uncertainty in the world. We wake up in the morning, having no idea how our day will play out. No idea if it will be a bad day, an "eh" day, an "OK" day, or a great day. However, there are many things that are guaranteed to make your day better--no matter what kind of day it is.

1. A warm bed on a cold morning/night.

There's nothing more heavenly, no better combination. Being wrapped up with toasty blankets and pillows with a hot cup of coffee and some Netflix has a way of making everything okay.

2. Babies.

From their little smiles, to the little sounds they make, babies will make you smile, every time. The way they wrap their tiny hands around your one finger is seriously heartwarming.

3. Puppies.

Like babies, puppers are another infallible way to turn your day around. They're always happy, they love you unconditionally, and they're always excited to see you. I mean come on, look at these cuties!



4. A good hair, makeup or outfit day.

When you look good, you feel good. If you're anything like me, you've had one of those days when your makeup came out bad or your hair sucks and you feel super upset. Your day is ruined before it even starts! But when you get a compliment on your makeup, or you put on your favorite outfit, it boosts your whole mood!

5. Listening to old songs.

I'm talking early 2000s throwbacks. If I'm ever sad, or need a pick-me-up, I'll listen to my Spotify playlist of middle school jams. As soon as a song comes on, you start singing all of the lyrics you didn't even know you remembered. Old songs also have a way of transporting you back to a certain time or memory in your life.

6. Reading a book.

There's no better escape from stress in your world than jumping into a new one! No one likes being told what to read in school, but reading a book for pleasure is totally different! Find one that you like, or if you don't know what you like, go for a classic.

7. Watch stand-up comedy.

If you have Netflix, you may or may not know about all of the hilarious comedy shows they have on it! Some of my favorites are Jim Gaffigan and Bo Burnham. You will be cracking up the whole time, trust me!

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
