Some days are awesome and some days are what feel like the worst day of our lives. No matter what the reason is for your sucky day, there are some tips/tricks to turn your day around.

1. Wake up and write

I have personally discovered that waking up in the morning and writing in my journal has motivated me to have a great day right off the bat. Whether you are writing down what you are thankful for, your goals/accomplishments, or your to-do list, this will set your day up in a positive way.

2. Make breakfast

This is a tip that many people have heard others say before. Not only does breakfast help you start your day in a healthy and satisfied way, but it does not leave you HANGRY. Trust me, being hungry is not how you want to start your day and usually when you start your day feeling hungry, it is hard to turn that around. So set your alarm clocks earlier than usual or make breakfast the night before so that way you can just heat it up quick and easy.

3. Turn up that music


Driving to school, work, social events, meetings and millions of more things can be a drag. No one wants to sit in a car for hours every day dealing with rude people beeping and flicking us the finger. Instead of making a daily ritual something to complain about, try and enjoy the "you" time that you get while being behind the wheel. I have found that making a playlist for my car ridges makes me enjoy driving that much more and keeps my day on a positive note.

4. Treat yourself

Throughout the day we can get so distracted with our schedule that we forget to take care of yourselves. I have found that treating myself with little pleasures that make me happy no matter how big or small, like getting coffee for example, keep my day shining bright.


5. Get up and move

Not only is excising great for your health and body, but it is amazing for your mental health as well! Exercising allows all of those endorphins to release which literally causes people to be happier. No matter how long/what exercise you chose to do, your body and mind will thank you for it. Starting your day or ending your day with this will help your day start/end on a positive note!

6. Find "YOU" time

The last and final tip for having a positive day is to find time for yourself. You have worked hard all day and its time to reward yourself with the love and attention you need. So pop open that bottle of wine, take a bath, binge-watch netflix, and enjoy YOU time.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. 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.

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.
