14 Little Things That Can Make Your Day Brighter
Funny Junk

1. Tiny milestones.

You got up today! You had breakfast! You ran for the bus and caught it!


2. The first snow of the year.

After the initial snow and the next day of playing in it, snow turns to slush and the cold is less fun. But the initial "first" is great!


3. Melty grilled cheese sandwiches.

Or mozzarella sticks. Anything with melty cheese that you pull apart. Ahh yiss.


4. That one video that will always make you laugh.

Like the Jurassic Park theme badly played on the melodica.


5. There are people in your life who love you and care about you.

Your mom or dad, sibling, roommate, friend, or significant other. Someone out there cares about you!


6. Googly eyes put on inanimate objects.

Googly eyes make everything silly.


7. Bubble baths.

Or, if you're not a bath person, a nice, long, hot shower.


8. Dancing in your room as you clean.

You have fun and feel productive afterwords!


9. That one really photogenic cat.

Like it's so pretty and photogenic? Look at that cat go, being all beautiful and stuff! Proud of that cat.


10. Seeing someone dressed well.

Look at them dressing up! They feel good and look good! Go that person!


11. Hugs.

Or if you're not a hug person, the people who respect you and your personal space and give you a high five or a smile instead.


12. All the music you can listen to on Spotify.

There is so much of it! Songs by everyone, all kinds of music for all occasions. There are so many possibilities!


13. Art.

Someone put a lot of thought and hard work into that drawing or painting or sculpture or photograph. And what's really cool is they created something beautiful.


14. Unfilled journals.

Look at all the stories you haven't told yet, all the adventures you haven't gone on. They're just waiting to happen so that you can write them down!

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!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
