{50 Things} You Should Have Never Stopped Doing {Part One}

New research says:

You ought to bring back some of the relics of your past! 

And, no, this does not mean you should bring back that ex that broke your heart, or that bad haircut you rocked in the early 90s. 

Experts agree that a little nostalgia can make you feel more loved and instantly {happier}

But how?

"By doing the goofy, slightly irresponsible things you did when you were blissfully unaware that Ricky Martin would never love you like that."

1. Listening to the SpiceGirls. 

Or any of that music that used to make you giggle or smile in pure delight. MMBOP anyone?

2. Doing the "beep the horn" gesture to truck drivers. 

3. Celebrating hump day

4. And Sunday Funday!

5. Adopting a fake accent for a night out at the bar...or a name for that matter.

6. Watching a TV Show over the phone with your Bestie. 

7. Driving around aimlessly listening to John Mayer, and pretending that he's still the sweet soulful outcast who worships your wonderland body from afar.

8. Taking naps-get up early this weekend, run errands, be productive. Then come home and crash on the couch. It's never going to be as good as it was after class, but at least you are not snoozing on a twin size bed. 

9. Going to an all-night diner and ordering the so-bad-for-you-it's-good pancake bonanza..and proclaiming your worship of whoever was behind the brilliance of combining butter, syrup, chocolate chips, whipped cream, strawberries & bacon.

10. Making Saturday Night Plans ON Saturday.
