As we wake up each morning, we think that today it just another day. We perform our regular routine of sleep, eat, work, repeat, without even thinking about it. Even the way we do our hair and the clothes we wear become the same. We believe that blending in is better than stick out. You see the same people and perform the same tasks, and that having a regular day is better than the chance of having a bad one. We lose our spunk and vitality that we had as a child, but is that really a way to live?

So, I have a challenge for you. Instead of going through each day like it is a task, go through each day expressing someone who is glad to be alive. You no longer have to watch the days jumble together because there is no real significance and live your life as you should be.

Here are 25 words to live by to make every day a day worth living:

1. Humble

2. Intelligent

3. Thoughtful

4. Hard-working

5. Friendly

6. Loyal

7. Respectful

8. Humorous

9. Cultured

10. Kindhearted

Now, when you go through your regular day of sleep, eat, work, repeat, I hope that one of these words comes to your mind and makes your day not so regular anymore. Pick a different word each day and see how it can change your well-being. Every new day is just another chance to change your life for the better. It’s a great time to be alive so make yourself great while you are at it. And remember, you are anything but ordinary- you are extraordinary.

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

936

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

University of Vermont

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
