#worthsmilingfor

Since my last post was a little negative, I decided I should do a more positive list. Here are my top 10 things worth smiling for.

(Not in any particular order)

Funny faces?

1. Weekends

Since the dawn of time, every child in the country look forward to those few days of freedom. Freedom from teachers, work, and waking up at unnatural hours of the morning. Children used these days to play video games until three in the morning, stay out and play with friends all day long, and whatever else youngsters like to do. Now as teenagers, these days are spent by sleeping. Lot's and lots of sleeping. Bliss.

2. Friends

They have your back no matter what. When you find the perfect one, you no longer spend your time at parties searching for a companion, or frantically looking about your chemistry class for a lab partner. They get your jokes, they put up with all of your crap and mood swings, and they're the ones that get you into the craziest adventures. Without friends... well, your calendar is pretty empty.

3. Immature Jokes

Not to toot my own horn, but I've been told many times by adults and kids my age that I'm very mature for my age. What these people don't see is my 12 year-old personality. I think I've mentioned here before about my inner child. I swear, I have a middle school boy trapped inside of me that just can't help laughing at every "That's What She Said" joke... That sounds a lot better in my head.

4. Junk Food

Ah, that moment of pure joy when you come home from school on a Friday afternoon and you're the only one in the house. When suddenly your pantry of fridge becomes an endless all-you-can-eat buffet. But you ignore the strawberries and other varies fruits your mother has carefully prepared for you. Nope, you go straight for the Nutterbutters and bag of Chili Cheese Fritos and eat your heart out.

5. Trash TV

Maybe this a girl thing, but I love nothing more on a stressful day than coming home, sitting down, and watching a marathon of Dance Moms Miami. Or even Fashion Police with Joan Rivers. Whatever your guilty pleasure may be, you know that you can't help watching those terrible shows because, let's face it, they make our lives seem so put together.

6. Undies

Most likely another girl thing, but am I the only woman in the whole country who just loves it when her undies match her bra that day?! Something about looking good under the already super cute outfit you have on just makes me feel great inside and out. You can never be too prepared either. Any moment you might catch on fire and have to strip to your knickers. Think of how terrible that would be if you were wearing your super cute Pink panties with your lazy Target bra! You never know.

7. Youtube

Some of the best laughs I have had have come from the funniest Internet videos. Imagine a world where you don't have the ability to go onto the Internet and look up that hilarious cat video or watch one of the best comedians that ever lived online. Without this wondrous site, there would be a lot less smiles in my life.

8. Family

Okay, they don't always cause smiles, but a lot of the times, my family can be pretty hilarious. We all share the same sense of humor; dark and twisted and pretty sarcastic. But hey, they're great for making light of a bad situation. They always have your back no matter what and even if you don't think so since you're a dramatic teenager, they will always love you. That's worth a smile.

9. Boyfriends

This has only been recently added to my list of things worth smiling for (It's only been a week? No way), but having a significant other is pretty nice. A lot of girls complain about boyfriends being too high maintenance. I guess they've had crappy boyfriends. When you find a good one, stick with him. When he makes you laugh when you want to cry, when he makes you go see a mushy gushy love movie just to laugh at how cheesy it is, when he gets along with your family and laughs at their embarrassing attempts at jokes, he's a keeper.

10. Okay, I lied.

I can't think of a #10. So how 'bout you stop being lazy and write one for me? What's one thing in your life worth smiling for. E-mail it to me, post on my Tumblr, or on my Facebook.

And stay tuned for another post! I've been thinking about something I want to write about, I just haven't had the time to sit down and write it.

Also I'm thinking about posting an original short story I have recently written. It's a horror story, since my crush for Stephen King grows stronger by the minute. That's not creepy at all.

Happy Tuesday, cool cats!
