7 Simple Ways To Have An Awesome Day
Hannah Redmond

Boost your mood on a daily basis by implementing simple ideas into your routine!

1. Make Your Bed

I know it sounds silly, but straightening up your bed before starting your day can start you off on the right foot. Not only will you feel productive for tidying up, but you’ll come back to a nicely made bed at the end of day. After a long day, there’s nothing better than a welcoming bed!

2. Compliment someone!

Giving out a tiny compliment to a stranger or friend at least once during your day can put you into a positive mood instantly. Plus, you might even make someone’s day in the progress!

3. Meditate

Taking 10-15 minutes out of your daily schedule to meditate can elevate your mood greatly! Meditation might seem overrated, but doing controlled breathing exercises or projecting good thoughts onto your day can be a game changer! Don’t knock it till you try it.

4. Make a To-Do List

Making a short to-do list of things you know you can accomplish in a day can be a great motivator to help you stay on track for your daily goals. Crossing off completed tasks throughout the day will give you well deserved validation and motivation to keep reaching those daily victories.

5. Go for a Walk

Not only is walking good for your physical health, it’s good for your mental health, too! Walking can clear the mind, help with writer’s block and decrease stress. Take a 20 minute walk and reap the benefits!

6. Have Lunch with a Friend

Make plans to eat with a friend. Being around a friendly face for even just 30 minutes can help get you through a particularly long day!

7. Get a Good Night’s Sleep

Getting plenty of sleep at night is never a bad idea. Try to get at least 7 hours every night and watch your days change for the better!

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
