Being a college student is one of the most difficult task known to man. Being able to balance your school life, work life and even a social life is a task of greatness. Here's an ode to some of the small victories that mean a lot to us college students.

1. Having time to nap between classes or at all.

2. Waking up 10 minutes before your class starts and making it there in time.

3. Making it to class in general

4. Only having to hit the snooze button three times.

5. When you didn't do the homework and the teacher decides not to collect it for that day.

6. Getting that "I'm sorry, but class is cancelled" email.

7. Finding a quiet seat in the library.

8. Actually enjoying a class and understanding all of the material.

9. Having a friend to eat lunch with.

10. Finishing an assignment before the due date.

11. When there is free food on campus.

Another small victory in the eyes of college students would be just being a college student in the first place. College is not easy and it's definitely not something that everyone can do. So give yourself a pat on the back for at least trying, not everyone makes it this far. While it may be a time of sleepless nights and never ending stress, college is one of the most amazing experiences ever! Some of these little victories are the reasons why we don't give up so let's always remember to be thankful for the little things.
