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

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.
