Why You Should Take The "#100happydays" Challenge

Surely you can't be happy for 100 days in a row, right? Wrong.

The "#100happydays" challenge was created by Dmitry Golubnichy as an attempt to get himself out of a dark place and start appreciating the "little things" again. He started posting a picture a day of what made him happy with the hashtag "#100happydays." Soon after, many others started to follow in his footsteps. As of today, more than 1.5 million people have completed this simple, yet life-changing challenge - and you should too. Did I mention that if you register on their website and complete the full challenge that the happy days foundation will send you a printed set of your 100 pictures for free?

Personally, I had just gone through a breakup when I decided to begin my "#100happydays" journey. I was feeling pretty low, but I decided that it wasn't the end of the world and I needed to start cherishing the little things in life again. In the beginning, it was a bit of a hassle to remember to take a picture of what made me happy throughout the day. But as the challenge progressed, I began to look forward to my daily posts. After completing the challenge in its entirety, I can honestly say that I am a happier person than I was the day I started it.

So yes, I think you should embark on your own "#100happydays" journey too. All you have to do is register on this website and make either a "happy days" Instagram account (like I did) or simply post a picture a day to your everyday Facebook, Twitter or Instagram accounts with the hashtag "#100happydays."

If you're already pretty happy right now, great, but I still think you should give it a shot. You never know what will come of it if you never try.


If I can do it, you can do it!

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
