There's lots of uncertainty in the world. We wake up in the morning, having no idea how our day will play out. No idea if it will be a bad day, an "eh" day, an "OK" day, or a great day. However, there are many things that are guaranteed to make your day better--no matter what kind of day it is.

1. A warm bed on a cold morning/night.

There's nothing more heavenly, no better combination. Being wrapped up with toasty blankets and pillows with a hot cup of coffee and some Netflix has a way of making everything okay.

2. Babies.

From their little smiles, to the little sounds they make, babies will make you smile, every time. The way they wrap their tiny hands around your one finger is seriously heartwarming.

3. Puppies.

Like babies, puppers are another infallible way to turn your day around. They're always happy, they love you unconditionally, and they're always excited to see you. I mean come on, look at these cuties!



4. A good hair, makeup or outfit day.

When you look good, you feel good. If you're anything like me, you've had one of those days when your makeup came out bad or your hair sucks and you feel super upset. Your day is ruined before it even starts! But when you get a compliment on your makeup, or you put on your favorite outfit, it boosts your whole mood!

5. Listening to old songs.

I'm talking early 2000s throwbacks. If I'm ever sad, or need a pick-me-up, I'll listen to my Spotify playlist of middle school jams. As soon as a song comes on, you start singing all of the lyrics you didn't even know you remembered. Old songs also have a way of transporting you back to a certain time or memory in your life.

6. Reading a book.

There's no better escape from stress in your world than jumping into a new one! No one likes being told what to read in school, but reading a book for pleasure is totally different! Find one that you like, or if you don't know what you like, go for a classic.

7. Watch stand-up comedy.

If you have Netflix, you may or may not know about all of the hilarious comedy shows they have on it! Some of my favorites are Jim Gaffigan and Bo Burnham. You will be cracking up the whole time, trust me!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
