Life can be tough, there's no doubt about it. Our daily routines get tedious, we lose motivation, our schedules get overwhelmingly packed, and all of a sudden, there aren't enough hours in the day to get everything done. I've been there, and I feel you. To combat the resulting lethargy, every day, I try to bask in the little things that help to make a bad day better and a good day fantastic. To hopefully help you find something (or a couple things!) to smile about today, I've compiled a list of what I think are some of the best everyday feelings in the world. Did any of them happen to you today?

1. Waking up and realizing that you still have an hour before you need to get up.

More sleep, you say? Well, don't mind if I do!

2. That minty, fresh taste in your mouth after you brush your teeth in the morning

Because, yikes, morning breath ain't no joke.

3. Putting on clothes that are fresh out of the dryer

It makes climbing out of your warm bed just a little easier.

4. Leaving the house with plenty of time to get to class/work/wherever you need to be

Oh good, I don't have to power walk, run, or speed in my car to get there on time.

5. Leaving the house feeling good about how you look that day

Looking so fresh and so clean, clean.

6. Walking past your crush while looking fly as aforementioned and saying something smooth because you're feeling confident in that fresh outfit you're wearing

Yeah, I'm feeling good today. You see this sassy smirk on my face? Yeah, that's the sassy smirk OF CONFIDENCE.

7. Calling for the elevator and having it be right there on your floor, waiting on you

There's just something so weirdly and wonderfully satisfying about that, isn't there?

8. Getting excited for your lunch break because you know you brought a bomb lunch with you and you're about to throw down

I'm not even eating out, so I'm saving money and calories! Watch out because I'm on fire today!

9. Finishing up a work project or school assignment in more than enough time

Nothing quite like the feeling of productivity and its payoff, and with some time to spare too!

10. Dropping all your things and plopping down on your couch at the end of a long day

The couch never feels more comfortable than the moment right after you get home from a full day of putting in work werk.


11. Knowing that you don't have to cook because there are leftovers in the fridge. Everything is better the second day anyway, right?

The flavors just marinate and amplify. At least that's what my parents always told me.

12. Sitting down to watch a new episode of your favorite TV show

Snacks? Check. Comfortable clothes? Check. Some sort of technological device to live tweet the whole thing? You better believe that's a check.

13. Climbing into bed and having the covers settle on top of you, and the warmth start to accumulate underneath

You know what I'm talking about. The covers start off just a little cool, but then everything gets nice and toasty warm and all is well.

14. Falling asleep knowing that something exciting is happening the next day

It's like that night of sleep is just a time machine to transport you to your exciting day, except it's a really great time machine because, let's be real, sleep is just really great.

I hope at least one of these things has already happened or will happen to you today, and that they made you smile and brought you joy in the midst of your daily grind. I also hope that, today, you are acutely aware of just how much Jesus loves you. Even if none of the 14 things on this list happened to you today, you can count on Jesus' love as a faithful #15 every single day, and that, my friends, is the most wonderful of things.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
