They Say Laughter is The Best Medicine But It Is Also The Secret To A Happy Relationship

The one thing everyone wants to know after they hear a couple is celebrating a milestone anniversary is, "What's your secret?"

Good relationship advice can be hard to come by these days. In an age of social media and instant gratification, young couples often feel that if they aren't constantly posting with their beau, it isn't the real thing. In this day and age, if you're looking for some relationship advice to get through a rocky time it seems best to go back to basics. So, with that in mind, what is the secret to a happy and healthy relationship?

Laughter.

After seeing a happy couple celebrate their twenty-ninth year of wedded bliss, I found it necessary to ask that question of how they have made it so far with life constantly testing them. The best advice they had to offer was to laugh everyday. Laugh about any and everything. Something small they both witnessed at the grocery store or telling a funny story from work to each other. If it was a particularly unfunny day, then maybe just say something you know will get a little chuckle out of your significant other. Even a smile is better than nothing.

Of course the normal advice such as "never go to bed angry" and "the little things are important" are still good bits to keep in mind. But if you can laugh with your love, even in the face of difficulty, then who's to say that any mountain or molehill can not be climbed without laughter?

There will always be bad days and couples will always go through tough times, but if they can find something to laugh at, to truly enjoy a moment together of pure and interrupted bliss, then nothing will be able to beat them down enough to split. If a couple of twenty-nine years swears by it, then it is definitely worth a shot.

If laughter really is the best medicine then why would it not be the secret to a happy and healthy relationship? So go on, make your boo thing laugh!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
