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!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
