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:

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
