There are a few things I have learned recently, one of them is that you need to seek out happiness instead of waiting for it to find you. It is so important that we realize that packages are sometimes small.

I went through most of my life thinking that happiness would smack me in the face. That it would be so big I could not miss it. I was wrong. sometimes when happiness comes it sneaks around you in small ways. Here are ten small things that can change your life.

A new morning routine

A new morning routine can completely change your world. It can help you reorganize your brain and help you destress.

Facing fears

Facing your fears will help you feel free! So, try it and if you can't do it the first time keep trying.

Love yourself

Loving yourself is the best thing you can do for you! take some time out of your day to treat yourself!

Explore your city

Go places in your city you've never been before! You might find new places to hangout or meet new people.

Try being healthier

Your body is a temple, so treat it like one! Eat healthy and workout more, your body will thank you!

Limit social media use

Stop scrolling and live life! this will help you out a lot but it will also be hard to do. Maybe limit yourself to an hour a day.

Hangout with your more positive friends

Surround yourself with people who inspire you. This will benefit you more than you could imagine!

Treat yourself!

Buy that shirt you've wanted or take yourself to that new sushi restaurant. You deserve it and it will boost your happiness to unknown levels.

Save some money for a fun day

Go somewhere new, travel abroad, buy something nice, or even take your friends to lunch. Invest in yourself.

It is refreshing to redo your space. So take sometime to rearrange your life and relax!

11 Moments Every College Freshman Has Experienced

Because we made it, and because high school seniors deserve to know what they're getting themselves into

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

1. "If I'm wearing black tomorrow, it's because I'm mourning my grade."

2. "Do you want to try ordering Chinese takeout to take back to the stacks?"

3. "This final paper has me questioning if this professor just sucks or is Satan himself."

4. "Is that person over there OK? They've been sleeping for a while."

5. "Why are you online shopping?"

"I want to motivate myself to study."

"Since when do you have money to buy something anyway?"

6. "I wonder how much I could make as a stripper."

7. "There are no stress relief dogs, and I feel conned. My stress today is worse than yesterday."

8. "Rate My Professor screwed me over."

9. "I wore these clothes yesterday, and maybe even the day before, but it's fine."

10. "I wonder if I could sneak a beer in here."

11. "I just really want chocolate chip cookies."

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo
