11 Reasons to Smile Today

1. You woke up today.

Don't you try and say you haven't accomplished anything today. The minute you opened your eyes you accomplished something. Go reward yourself.

2. Oreos are vegan.

Yeah. You read that correctly. I'm not sure whether I should be happy or confused that there is no milk in them but, always good to know Go surprise a vegan friend with them.

3. Someone just became a parent.

Whether that parenthood be to a pet or a human, that's still pretty amazing.

4. Carbs exist in this world.

There are so many to consume and so little time to consume them.

5. Someone just made it out a surgery and will recover with no complications.

Imagine the immediate relief of this person and their loved ones. Imagine how the doctor feels getting to tell everyone that things went smoothly.

6. Someone got married today.

Don't you just love love? Two people get to spend the rest of their lives together starting today. Makes my heart swoon just thinking about it.

7. Someone got a job offer today.

If you've ever hunted for jobs, you know this is a reason to smile. #OutOfMomsBasementHereICome

8. A dog or a cat was just pet and is so happy now.

Just imagine it's little tail wagging and waving and all the soft purrs.

9. Someone had their first kiss today.

Ohlalala. It's a fun memory regardless of how sweet/awful/tongue-y it was.

10. Someone played their first note on an instrument that they are beginning to learn to play.

They've created something with their hands that moves people in a way we simply can't describe in words without doing music an injustice. Simply beautiful to think about, don't you think?

11. You are alive and gifting this great, big world with your presence.

You have created a space that can't be filled by anyone else. You are simply irreplaceable and one-of-a-kind.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
