12 Silly Things You Can Do To Instantly Improve Your Day

4. Set Inappropriate Ringtones And Names In Your Phone

God bless the modern marvel that is the smartphone. Able to handle anything you can throw it - although it can't really handle anything being thrown at it, like the floor - smartphones have become the personal assistants, organisers, and social pathways for the majority of the Western world, allowing them to do virtually anything. Including giving yourself a boost throughout the day by personalising the heck out of each of your contacts for your own personal amusement. Let me explain - this isn't something entirely appropriate for the workplace (no songs with curse words, or names too explicitly mean for your boss to pass by without commenting on), but it can be a brilliantly silly thing to do to light up your day. Assigning the mother-in-law an ominous death march or the tunes of 'Dies Irae', the one-night-stand to 'Random Hookup Partner Whose Name Begins in 'E' or 'I', or giving your friends the brutally loving nicknames based on body parts, can be a private in-joke that makes you giggle to yourself. Just save the NSFW rap songs for your earbuds, and not the general populace, and this is a guilty pleasure of a silly way to brighten your day.
