Reason's to Just Be Happy
Compfight

Lately, when I get on social media I feel myself getting really down about the condition the world is in. I am not only concerned with the political side of it all, but the attitude of people, and I understand that people are just expressing their opinions, which I think is great. These days it seems the world is more divided than ever. I want to use this time to remind people there are tons of reasons to smile.

1. Puppies exist. Well, dogs in general exist.

2. Ice cream is incredible. (There are over thousands of ice cream flavors. You literally can have it any way you want).

3. You are alive. (breathe. Right there is a reason to be happy).

4. Wine is a thing.

5. Leggings are now a fashion statement... That means no pants.

6. JEGGINGS ARE COOL!!

7. Grey's Anatomy has not been cancelled. (THANK GOD)

8. They have 79 cent pops at almost any midwest gas station.

9. Gas has been cheap. (that is always a plus).

10. It is now okay to put bacon on literally everything! Bacon with your PB &J? Sure, no one judges because it is bacon.

11. A male is a cover girl! ( what an incredible time to be alive).

12. All day Netflix? Fine, No one judges.

13. Disney movie's are becoming live action.

14. Old classic sitcoms are coming back for reunions.

15. Coconut oil exists. (You literally can do anything with that stuff).

16. Cats are cool.

17. Music. Music is such a powerful underrated thing. (I think that everyone should learn to play an instrument).

18. Babies are amazing.

19. Children are amazing. ( If you need to remember what is important in the world just hang with a child).

20. You can just about get anything deep fried these days.

21. Every fast food place has a value menu. (Now that is good my friends)

22. God is good. Actually, pretty amazing.

23. Pizza can be a meal three times a day.

24. You can be anything you want to be in today's world.

25. I, as a female have the right to protest.

26. We as Americans have the right to protest. (there are many countries that do not have that right).

27. WE LIVE IN AN INCREDIBLE COUNTRY.

28. Cake is good for any occasion.

This list was meant to be relaxed, because sometimes we all need daily reminders when we are freaking out about life. We spend so much time dwelling on things that are happening that we do not like that we forget to remind ourselves of all that we do like. It is important to remember life is not that bad. Situations are not bad. We are not bad. We are simply human and we forget to enjoy the little things in this world. The little things are crucial and they are important. So literally, cherish the small things, because they do matter.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
