Sometimes the excitement leading up to an event can surpass the event itself. Perhaps we build it up in our heads too much, or maybe we are all really just in love with the idea of things more than we are in love with the things themselves. Whatever it is, here's to all those times we just couldn't stand to wait one more minute (even though the waiting was the best part).
Birthday parties
Planning what to put in the goody bags? Few things in life are better.
Vacations
Where to eat, what to do, who to see...maybe the planning is fun because that's the free part.
The school year
The schedules, the planners, the supplies...what's not to love??
Making any big purchase
We imagine just how great our lives are going to be (until we end up forgetting we even made the purchase 3 months later and carry on as though we never had it).
Going out to eat
This one can vary in fun depending on how hungry you are.
Holidays
Christmas is *at least* a month long if you celebrate it correctly.
Graduations
We make plans for the real world our whole lives, and then suddenly we find ourselves in it.
Writing essays
Ok some people would not consider any part of this to be fun. But the assignment of an essay, when the possibility of writing about anything lies ahead, can be exciting for some of us. The rest of you don't know what you are missing.
Downloading a new app
Our life is going to be SO much more productive.
Starting a new book
We've got our New York Times bestseller and we are headed to the coffee shop to get lost in the best book we will ever read.
Always give yourself something to look forward to. Always keep planning. But don't forget to enjoy the moment.
