Ultimately, the answer to the question "How is your day?" is all up to you.

How To Turn A Good Day Into A Great One
Ben Kerckx

Ever wondered how to make your day better? Ever considered that you do not have to make drastic changes to achieve that goal? Here are some of the ways I pull transform good days (and even bad ones) into great days.

1. Wake up earlier.

Seize the day and get up half an hour earlier than you usually do. As someone who gets up at the crack of dawn every morning, I'll be the first to admit that while it's hard at first, making use of the whole day can help increase your productivity and regulate your schedule.

2. Eat a treat.

Do not deprive yourself of life's simple pleasures. Anything in moderation.

3. Make a to-do list.

It will help you stay on track, not get overwhelmed, and not feel guilty about incorporating free time into your day.

4. Find something positive in every complaint.

It is easy to complain and critique, but it everything really as bad as we make it out to be?

5. Do something new every day.

The same-old, same-old can get pretty...old. If you never try new things, you will never know what you are missing. Eat a new food, talk to a new person and learn something new.

6. Find something to look forward to each day, and if you can't find anything, make something.

Life is as exciting as you make it.

7. Text or call someone you have not talked to in a while.

You never know what someone else could be going through, and you especially will not know if you never talk to them.

8. Do something healthy.

Be active, eat a balanced meal, exercise your brain. Your body will thank you for it.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
