100 Small Things In Life
Tumblr

It's midterm season, and it is obvious that we are overwhelmed and stressed about everything. In the midst of all the craziness in life, we forget to relax and think about the small things in life. One method of relaxation for me is to think about things that aren't currently overwhelming me. By doing this, I am able to appreciate the things that I wouldn't normally think about on a daily basis.

Here are some of my favorite small things in life:

  1. dog's head sticking out of windows

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
