Happiness Guaranteed #graded

I'm not gonna lie, Junior year had gotten pretty sucky. Allow me to spell it out for you: Junior year= homework and more swim practice= little sleep= grumpy Ruth. During Thanksgiving Break I realized that Junior year was turning me into a PESSIMIST. Which is something that I never ever, ever, ever want to be. Ever. I decided change needed to happen.

Instead of thinking "ugh, I can't wait until school is over so I can go take a nap,"
I woke up in the morning and tried thinking "Today is going to be a GREAT day!"

Yes, I know thats cheesier than Big Time Rush's performance at Jingleball but it's what I needed. Attitude really is everything. I knew this was true when even school started to get better... probably a good thing since I spend like 40 hours a week there.

I really recommend you try it sometime. 

(and if you think I'm some ignorant, naive optimist and you're laughing at this right now I guess its your loss)

"And do not be greived, for the joy of the Lord is your strength." (Nehemiah 8:10)

"For the sorrowing every day is evil, but the joyous heart it  is festive always." (Proverbs 15:15)

"A cheerful heart is good medicine." (Proverbs 17:22)
