As we wake up each morning, we think that today it just another day. We perform our regular routine of sleep, eat, work, repeat, without even thinking about it. Even the way we do our hair and the clothes we wear become the same. We believe that blending in is better than stick out. You see the same people and perform the same tasks, and that having a regular day is better than the chance of having a bad one. We lose our spunk and vitality that we had as a child, but is that really a way to live?

So, I have a challenge for you. Instead of going through each day like it is a task, go through each day expressing someone who is glad to be alive. You no longer have to watch the days jumble together because there is no real significance and live your life as you should be.

Here are 25 words to live by to make every day a day worth living:

1. Humble

Now, when you go through your regular day of sleep, eat, work, repeat, I hope that one of these words comes to your mind and makes your day not so regular anymore. Pick a different word each day and see how it can change your well-being. Every new day is just another chance to change your life for the better. It’s a great time to be alive so make yourself great while you are at it. And remember, you are anything but ordinary- you are extraordinary.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
