25 Reasons To Be Happy
Life Enthuziast

Happiness is vital. Finding the positives is vital. But how do we obtain it? Why is it necessary? Often individuals seem to struggle in finding the good in the world when there seems to be so much evil. Happiness still exists we just have to search for it. Anything negative can be turned into a positive. Everyday we have the opportunity to control our mood for the remainder of the day. Don't choose to sulk, and see the negatives. Embrace the happiness found in the little things that surround our every moment. The following words laid out in front of your computer, phone, or tablet screen, are to remind you that there is always happiness. It is contagious and so simple:

1. The lightening bugs in the evenings of July.

2. The first bite of an ice cream cone covered in multi-colored sprinkles.

3. Laying on your back taking in the breathtaking view of the stars that stretch across the galaxy.

4. We are children of an almighty King.

5. Random acts of complete and utter kindness.

6. You have survived and conquered every bad day that seemed to takeover your world.

7. Puppies who give endless kisses and share their "I love you," with their tails.

8. Sunrises and sunsets that are pure, simple, and breathtaking.

9. The beaming faces of children that radiate through an entire room on Christmas morning.

10. Butterflies in your stomach when you catch the eyes of your true love.

11. The ocean waves that crash into your feet, filling your heart with bliss.

12. The fact that somewhere right now, a family is embracing their very first newborn baby in their arms.

13. The endless humming of the birds and the bees soaring through a garden.

14. Jumping into a pool on a hot summer day, the water so refreshing it takes your breath away.

15. The smell of a fresh Earth after a much needed summer rain.

16. A soothing cup of tea in the early mornings

17. Knowing that you have made mistakes but have been endlessly forgiven.

18. Fuzzy socks that are so incredibly soft next to a cozy fire.

19. Long overdue hugs that make your heart race with happiness.

20. Uncontrollable laughter.

21. Finding old photos that flood your thoughts with nostalgia.

22. Surprising loved ones on their birthday and seeing their expressions of complete gratitude.

23. Reaching the top of a mountain, convinced that you conquered the world.

24. Rainbows that illuminate the sky after a rainstorm.

25. That you, yes you, reading this list, are loved.

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.

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.
