14 Wonderful Things That Might Happen To You Today

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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
