5 Ways To Stay Happy
Pintrest

At this point in the year, everyone is done. Whether that be with work, school, or just the slow burn out of being half way through the year. No matter how you see it, everyone is at the point of no motivation and I mean -400 percent of motivation. So here are just a few simple ways to stay happy.

1. Look up at the sky.

The sky is filled with wonderful things. The sun shines for everything. It brings warmth and life to the earth. Then, we have the clouds! They are beautiful, fluffy, puffy clouds. The ones that you used to find pictures in. And of course, we have the big blue sky. The clear blue, the bright blue, the blue that grows brighter and darker as the day goes on; the best kind of sky.

2. Eat something yummy.

Yum! Are you a salty person? Maybe a sweetie-pie? Whichever you are enjoy something for yourself." Treat yo Self"

3. Netflix.

As stereotypical as it is, "Netflix and Chill," **by yourself** is some of the best therapy out there. Watch your guilty pleasure, do the binge watch and pop yourself some microwave popcorn. Then, lay on the bed, grab a blanket, sit back and relax.

4. SLEEP.

Sleep is so important and even though it's stressed in our culture, there is a severe lack of it. People are putting their school, work, and everything else but themselves first. Sometimes, you need to take a step back and nap. Naps are bae.

5. Exercise.

Yes, moving. How very anti-lazy. But believe it or not, exercise makes you happy. When you get up and move around, good things happen. Your body releases a chemical, endorphin's, and they make you happy. So get up off of your butt and run wild and free.

If you do all of these and still feel gross.... not possible. These are fool proof. I know this for a fact. And remember, stay happy.

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.
