I decided while reading Steppenwolf the other day that I should have a mantra.

So later as I was listening to some nice soft electronic music I came across the song "It's a Fine Day***" by Opus III, which they repeat the line "It's a fine day / people open windows" a lot. I wanted my mantra to be something positive and uplifting, so I changed the lyrics a little bit to get "It's a Fine Day, open up the windows." It's just a nice little relaxing thing to repeat whenever I get stressed out, especially because finals and graduation and stuff and happening. Whenever things get crazy or sad I just try to remember that it's a Fine Day and that I should open up all the windows and let some fresh air in. Metaphorically.

Plus the word mantra is just fun to say.
