50 things to be happy about






Hello you wonderful people.
How are you?
And how am I?...Well, to be honest, life's been pretty rough at the moment. Not only did I have a bit of a breakdown at uni (you know the type..."OH MY GOD I'M SO BAD AT LIFE I CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE")...I also got a bad tummy bug, have to tackle writing my dissertation, AND deal with the fact I got broken up with by the person who I naively thought was the love of my life.
Brutal huh.

BUT...this gal doesn't sit around feeling sorry for herself for too long, because there is SO much to be happy about.
So if you're feeling pretty down, or want to be reminded of all those little things that can make you smile, then you've definitely come to the right place.
