Recently, I have been going through a lot which has put me down a little but I always remember that there is something to be happy about. Everyone goes through something, we all have our hard times. Always remember that no matter how difficult it is or how horrible and sad you feel, there is always something to make you smile. You are beautiful and loved as you are but the more you smile and the happier you become, the more you will love yourself. On this list, there are small things to be happy about and there are big things, they all count. I hope this list helps you smile and be happy about something.

1. You woke up, you're alive, and you're breathing

2. Your family

3. Knowing that you're beautiful, because you are

4. Eating dessert

5. Singing along to really loud music

6. The Eagles going to the Super Bowl

7. Nice People

8. Being smiled at

9. The outdoors

10. Good grades

11. The Bachelor

12. When the sun hits your face and warms you up

13. Drinking ice cold water when you’re hot

14. Working out

15. When your favorite song comes on the radio

16. True friendship

17. Immediately smiling after seeing that one person’s name pop up on your phone

18. Seeing the people you love happy

19. Saying bye to f*ckboys

20. Exploring new places

21. Seeing a rainbow on a cloudy day

22. Climbing into bed after a really long day

23. Sleeping in

24. Warm weather

25. Seeing someone you haven’t seen in a long time and getting the biggest hug ever

26. Being made your favorite meal

27. Accomplishing something that you are very proud of

28. Being appreciated

29. Feeling the breeze from the ocean against your skin

30. Looking at a bright blue ocean

31. Having a crush on someone

32. Dancing with your friends

33. Doing makeup

34. The ability to get an education

35. Baseball boys

36. Memes

37. SoulCycle

38. Making someone smile

39. Coffee

40. Playing your favorite sport

41. Late night chats

42. Sweater weather

43. Road trips

44. A freshly made bed

45. When you’re cold, putting on a sweatshirt right out of the dryer

46. Checking something off your to-do list

47. Being greeted by your pet as soon as you come home

48.Changing up your hairstyle

49. Being complimented

50. Being told you are loved

I know life is hard, we have all been there. Always remember how important you are and your life is. You mean so much to so many people around you and you should never forget that. Everyday find something to smile about, every day brings something new. If you are a live, then you have a reason to be happy. If you have a bed to sleep on or a roof over your head, you have a reason to be happy.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
