10 Things That Make Me Happy
Maddie Ruth

This past week was a week full of happiness and just being thankful for life. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays because it helps you value the good in life. Positivity is something that I take seriously in my life. I love to smile and laugh and create unforgettable memories with amazing people. Being a happy person I still have my bad days, I refuse to let those times get me down, I came up with a way to beat a bad day. Here are the ten things that make me happy and every time I go through this list it works every time, I hope that this works for you as well.

1. Cute animal videos.

Like this one:


2. Shopping.

I sure do enjoy a great deal.

3. Laughing.

It is true laughter is the best medicine. Whenever you feel sadness approaching go and laugh it off. When you are thinking deeply about life instead of thinking about it in a bad way just laugh at life. I laugh about my life every day. Life is weird it is okay to let things go and laugh it off.

4. Hugging someone.

I love hugging, I am a hugger so when we meet each other for the first time be prepared to be embraced by a little blonde girl.

5. Great music.

I love singing loudly in the car, and I love a song that can get everyone to sing together. Great music brings everyone together and that makes me happy, because who doesn't like music?

6. Friends and Family.

I am so grateful to have the people in my life that I have. Special shout out to you all I would throw in a few names, but instead, you all know who you are and I love you all.

7. Beach, water, and sunshine.

Yes. I love the beach I am a Florida girl so a little piece of my heart will forever belong to the ocean.


8. Adventure.

I am spoiled being involved with the aviation world. I love spontaneous flights to join friends for dinner in Marathon, Florida or go spend the day in St. Augustine, Florida. The memories that aviation provides is something that makes me so happy with my life.

9. Making others smile.

Every day I wake up with one goal and that goal is to make at least one person's day a great day.

10. Smiling.

I wake up every morning and smile because a smile makes the day an automatic great day. It was something I started doing back in high school and I never fail to find a smile on my face when I wake up in the morning. It is such a strong feeling.

XO,

M

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
