"Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light."
-Albus Dumbledore

Happiness is one of the best emotions a person can feel and different things make different people happy. Throughout the hectic and stressful months of college, it is always important to find a little time for yourself and do something that makes you happy. Even amidst the obstacles you might face during your college years, happiness and laughter can always be found, even in the simplest of things. Below is a list of 7 seemingly small things that make college students happy.

1. Your phone.


And all the nifty things you can do with it. Surfing through your many phone apps is always a good option to unwind with after a hectic day and "de-stress."

2. Your friends.

The crazy adventures, hilarious convos, and amazing memories you have with friends always livens up life.

3. That extra nap or getting to sleep in.


A short nap can make the biggest difference in the world and in your emotions or attitude throughout the day. And getting to sleep in? Even better.

4. A cancelled class or rescheduled exam.


A cancelled class equals more time to sleep, which is always something to look forward to for the typical sleep-deprived college student, and a rescheduled exam means--you guessed it--more time to sleep. There's never too much time to sleep.

5. A random hello or smile from a stranger.


And by "stranger" I don't mean the creepy guy from across the street. A simple hello or smile from a classmate or acquaintance can brighten up anyone's day.

6. New episode or season of your favorite TV show.

Something to look forward to during a stressful, busy, or otherwise boring week.

7. Daily dose of coffee or tea.

Being a college student requires drinking large (and usually unhealthy) quantities of coffee or tea and this little (but great) action can make anyone's day a little more sweet.

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.
