25 Things To Be Happy About

With finals quickly approaching, most stress levels are reaching new highs. It's almost impossible to walk across campus without hearing whispers of complaints about finals, term papers and presentations. Making a quick list of some things that make us happy is sometimes the best form of therapy in such stressful times, especially if most of the things on it are tangible and achievable. So if you're having an off day, here are a few things that can hopefully put a smile on your face.

1. Popcorn

Because when are you not in the mood for some buttery goodness?

2. Snorting when you laugh

Sure, it may be a bit embarrassing, but everyone sure does get a kick out of it.

3. Friends

They're the ones to pick you up when your down, but also the ones who probably laughed and pushed you in the first place. They always know what to say to put a smile on your face, but most importantly, they never say no for a food run.

4. Family


Always there, always on your side.

5. Puppies


I dare you to find something cuter.

6. Freshly painted fingernails

You could have on sweats and a sweatshirt, but a fresh manicure and you feel like you can take over the world.

7. Jeans right out of the dryer

Jumping into those jeans is one of the greatest feelings of accomplishment ever.

8. Clean sheets

There is just something about clean sheets, am I right?

9. Cold cheese pizza

Shout out to my fellow Long Islanders.

10. Hugs from mom

Even on your worst day, all it takes is a little love from Mom to make it better.

11. Laughing until you cry

Which usually makes everyone else in the room laugh too.

12. Taking a really good nap

Waking up feeling like a new person and ready to take on the day is a feeling like no other.

13. Putting together the perfect outfit

After raiding everyone's closet, its hard not to look as good as you.

14. Being spontaneous

Put yourself out there, try new things, you'd be surprised.

15. Traveling to new places


It could be a day trip, a long weekend, or even a whole week. Start small, then go big; there are so many places you have yet to see and explore.

16. Having things to look forward to

Why stress about what you coulda, shoulda, woulda, done, when you should focus on what you can and will do?

17. Candles

The key to stress relief... trust me.

18. Fresh towels

Almost more refreshing than the shower.

19. Getting a good grade

There is absolutely nothing better than knowing all those long hours in the library and endless amounts of coffee paid off.

20. Doing something for someone else

It could be something as small as holding the door for another.

21. Eating ice cream

A hefty bowl of your favorite flavor and you're in for a good night.

22. Making plans with your friends

Que the thousands of group messages and phone calls.

23. Actually following through with those plans

Cause Lord knows that's a miracle and a half.

24. Your favorite song

You know, the one you play on repeat until your roommate goes absolutely crazy.

25. Taking a long shower (while listening to your favorite song)

Sing it loud and proud, girl!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
