Watching Bob Ross Is The Best Way To Cheer Up
Huffington Post

Some of you may remember seeing "The Joy of Painting" with Bob Ross on television growing up. The show ended in 1994, but it was commonly replayed on local television channels like PBS. Bob Ross, an incredibly talented painter, would invite his viewers to paint along with him, teaching them various techniques along the way.

However, the most memorable thing about Bob Ross's television show is not actually his art. For many people, it was his calm and optimistic nature:


Bob Ross had a military history, which dramatically affected his personality. He said that because the army required him to be such a mean and tough person, yelling at people all the time, he vowed to never yell again once he left. Since he was so calm all the time, watching Bob Ross was like this awesome, uplifting kind of therapy. Everything was "happy" -- the trees, the clouds, the animals. Even your mistakes were happy!

So, if you're ever having a bad day and need some cheering up, sit down and watch some Bob Ross's "The Joy of Painting." If you don't have time to watch a whole episode, you could always just watch this incredibly uplifting remix that somebody made:

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

Yes, the math major is doing a math-related post. What are the odds? I'll have to calculate it later. Many people have probably learned about the Fibonacci sequence in their high school math classes. However, I thought I would just refresh everyone's memories and show how math can be beautiful and apply to physical things everywhere around us with stunning examples.

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.
