You Deserve Happiness

And it's seriously that simple.

You Deserve Happiness

If you're wondering if you deserve happiness or why everything just doesn't feel right in your life right now, just know that it's going to be ok and that everything happens for a reason. While there's going to be good days and there's going to be bad days, one thing is certain: you deserve happiness.

Trust me; I know it's not easy.

People are going to be rude and some are going to try and create drama when they have the opportunity. However, while you're reading this, you should know that it happens to everyone and you are not alone when it comes to having these feelings or perspective.

2019 (or whatever year you are reading this in) is your year and nothing should change that. Whether it started out rough or incredible, there is still time to turn it around and make it what you want it to be.

Life is like a car and you're the driver. If you don't like where you're headed, turn around or make a quick right. It's ok to remove toxic and negative people from your life and distance yourself from things you realized are not worth your time or energy anymore.

Bad days are still, unfortunately, going to happen here and there. However, learning how to handle them and make them less of an emotional tragedy (depending on the severity of what happened of course) will make you a stronger person.


So if you're reading this because you needed it or simply because you saw it somewhere across social media, remember that you deserve everything you want out of life and more. Take a deep breath today and focus your energy on the positive aspects of life.

Life is what you make it and it's the way you react to certain things that happen that ultimately shapes you into who you are. Keep doing your thing, whatever that may be, and things are going to work out.

This is your year!

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

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.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective.
