The power of positivity can be an amazing influence on the world. Every religion tells us we should treat others how we want to be treated and to love our brothers and sisters. We also understand that people who use positivity are admired, respected and remembered. Great heroes of our world have promoted ideas that helped the greater good of our civilization. Positive emotions are contagious and spread through all of us. Our positivity is always healing us and others around us. People will always remember you for being a positive person and they'll express their gratitude for showing them respect. Use this power of positivity to help people around us, learn something new or get a bit done for yourself. The universe will benefit if you live positively and righteously. Creating these good vibrations can relieve you of stress, anxiety and loneliness. These good vibrations will make us grow as humans and help expand our minds with knowledge. The power of positivity can make hard work and dreams turn into reality. Expressing a positive attitude is beneficial in finding something you are passionate about and could do as a career. It is always special seeing someone work on something they are passionate about and sharing it with the world. If you love something, it isn’t really work, is it? All of us can express our positivity to one another through generosity, humor and other respectable ways. Positive things such as laughter can be therapeutic. Humor is one my favorite tools to use to try and make the world smile. Laughter is something that can be shared and remembered for a lifetime. A happy world is a healthy world. Laughter can also help heal pain of a stressful situation going on. I have been in negative moods before and friends of mine just get me laughing then I feel a wave of relief. Expressing positivity is so important in our world. Negativity is everywhere and it is only growing. As an intelligent species, we have the free will to pick and choose whether we will be a positive or negative person. Promoting positivity in the world builds a camaraderie of peaceful, intelligent brains working for a better tomorrow. I try using humor and making at least one or more people smile every day. I feel like it is doing my part to make the world a happier place. I also am sharing inspirational thoughts, when I have them, to hopefully inspire anyone who sees it. I encourage YOU to do something positive to benefit society. If we all used our positive emotions, there would be no reason for any to feel any pain alone. We could change the planet and remove negativity from our society. Let people flourish with their good vibrations. Positivity can create a new world of productivity. Share a smile or a laugh with your fellow classmates, it could make their whole day better. Share a song that reminds you of someone you cherish. Share a piece of art that you put your all into. If we try hard enough, we could all be helping each other every day to build a strong support system we deserve to have on this planet, where positive energy rules supreme.

1. You feel like an elder.
When you started college at 18 you probably thought you were SO old. Now at 22 or 23 you realize that you still are not "old," but you are to the 19-year-old that may pop up in your classes. You seem like a grandparent to them, and no I will not buy you your alcohol or help you find a fake ID.
2. You may feel lonely.
Sure, you still have friends on campus. But your "squad" is no longer all there. You go from Thursday night pre-games and 2-for-1's to Skype dates to try to stay connected with all your friends. On a positive note, you are likely going to make new friends with other people who are in the same stage of life as you.
3. Senioritis is more real than ever.
You thought you had it rough this last year, yet this year you are more ready to graduate than ever. But, the real world still scares the hell out of you and you are low-key happy you had an extra semester or two to prepare.
4. You may feel a little down sometimes.
When you see your friends moving all over the country you may feel a little down as you realize you are doing the same thing you have been doing for the last four years. But it is important to remember that it is completely normal to not graduate in four years and you can do even more things to help prepare you for the next phase of your life.
5. Fear of missing out won't be as real.
At least in your college town, most things that are going on with your campus are going to be things that you have already done before. So, on nights you would rather lay in bed than go downtown, the FOMO will probably be much more toned down.
6. You are a college pro.
On the plus side of being a fifth year, you've got this whole thing down. You know the ropes of college: how to study, how to get in with your teachers, where to go on what nights. This is all old news to you and you've got everything down to a science.
7. You'll have more free time.
Sure, you can still be involved but odds are your social calendar just really opened up, AKA no more events you are going to be fined for if you don't go to. With all this extra time maybe you'll get a job or maybe you'll lay in bed. Ultimately, it is your choice.
8. You're happy you're still in school.
Every time you get on Facebook you see so-and-so from high school getting married, having children, etc. And while you're happy for them, you're happy being single and not having that responsibly and being in college an extra year doesn't sound so bad anymore.
9. You feel like a guru.
Odds are people in your classes will know you are a fifth year and know that you pretty much have the campus figured out so you are going to have to answer questions about where the best spots to study are, where to go for game days, etc. You may get annoyed answering questions, but you're still happy you've got the lowdown on everything.
10. You continue to grow.
You are going to learn more about yourself and for the first time since you came to college as a confused, excited and scared freshman you are going to have to get out of your comfort zone a little and make sure to make your (hopefully) last year your best year yet.
1. When dealing with people is too difficult.
2. When food is the best part of your day.
...you can't ever say no to it
3. When you meet new people.
4. When you're the third wheel.
5. When life is tough but you're trying to hold it together.
6. When you're the brunt of a joke.
7. When you're too broke for food.
8. When your judgment could be better.
9. When you're not great at socializing.
10. When honesty is the best policy.
11. When you accept your flaws.
12. When work is not going well.
13. When you skip the gym.
14. When you over think.
15. When you swipe right.
16. When you get a crush.
17. When no major life event is happening
Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.
2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.
3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.
4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.
5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.
6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.
7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.
8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.
