We all know the very popular sitcom How I Met Your Mother, starring the characters Barney, Robin, Ted, Lily, and Marshall. Barney is obviously the most dynamic character of all, with his corny jokes and outgoing attitude. He knows how to get his way through in any situation and will make you laugh until you absolutely can't anymore. Sure enough, he also gives some mind-blowing tips for how to lead your life;

1. Stay Legen - wait for it - dary!

This is one of Barney's go to phrases/catchphrases. He wants to make sure everyone and everything stay legendary like him, for instance when he's Ted's wingman for getting girls. If something is not legendary, he will go the extra mile to make sure it is. With Barney, there's no not being awesome. So, keep calm and stay legendary, and everything will be fine in life.

2. The Lemon Law

According to Barney, if you're on a date, you have 5 minutes to decide whether you're actually going to stick with the person. If you're not, say goodbye and just end it there. This sort of helped Ted with girls, but not really. So, if you haven't had that much luck lately, maybe the lemon law will help you.

3. Always self five yourself

Barney is a character of full joy, but that doesn't divert from the fact that he tremendously loves himself. He continues to reassure himself and his jokes with self-fives, which the other characters find peculiar. However, self-fives can make you feel really good about yourself when you're in a bad mood. They truly help so self five yourself today and see how you feel!

4. Accept every challenge

Continuously in the show, Barney accepts any challenge that comes his way. He teaches you that no matter how big your struggle is, you can overcome it. Accept everything that comes your way because you don't know what you're missing out on. Barney also teaches us to dream big and always try, no matter if you know you're going to lose. So, accept the challenge, what are you waiting for?

5. When you're sad, just be awesome

Barney is a character who is never sad, depressed, or lonely. He makes sure to have an awesome attitude even when things are at a low point in his life. Barney also makes us cheer up and embody that attitude when we're having bad days. If you feel happy and believe you're awesome, then all your sadness will go away. So, when you get sad, just remember; be awesome.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
