We all have those times in our lives when nothing goes our way, or school is a huge load with test after test and project after project and you and your group are getting nothing accomplished and you think you are at your breaking point. I’m here, reminding you that your life indeed will continue after this stressful time and you can get through it with just a little boost. Try to be happy, and hopefully, these few things will give you the reminder that life can be good and you can take a moment to breathe, relax, and be happy.

1. Treat yourself to a girls' day, they are always a good time (don’t forget the mani/pedi's)

2. Yes you can splurge and get a cupcake. Don't forget the sprinkles!

3. Set some time to journal and reflect on the good happening in your life

4. Paint a canvas that is bright and cheery you can hang up

5. Watch feel-good movies (I suggest "The Blind Side" or "Just Go With It")

6. Listen to the Spotify playlist ‘Have a Great Day!”

7. After doing the above suggestion… allow yourself to have a dance party in the comfort of your own room

8. Have a fresh start and do some redecorating! Get creative!

9. YouTube has some of the funniest videos, go searching for them! (C'mon, a cat doing a somersault is pretty funny)

10. Call up an old friend or a family member and catch up on lost time; remembering old memories is gold for happiness.

Everyone deserves the chance to be happy in life. With negative comments floating around in the world, loneliness, and days in your life where nothing goes how you want it to, don't be too discouraged. Find happiness in something else. There are so many reasons to live out your life, don't let that get clouded by a few road bumps. The moment I realized that is the moment I changed how I was living and found a path I want to be on for my future days to come.
