These things all have a way of making me smile or cheering me up on a rainy day. We all need little pick me ups when life gets rough. Don't forget to appreciate the little things in life.

1. Green Tea.

This is literally that drink that will fix all of your problems. Need to lose some weight, want to do a detox or feeling sluggish. Green tea is always the answer.

2. Sunsets.


I've always been a sucker for a beautiful sunset. It shows that endings can be great.

3. Cats.

Anyone who knows me knows I'm a cat lover and that will never change.

4. Friday Night Lights.

There's nothing better than seeing my man in his jersey. I truly miss FNL and they will always have a special place in my heart.

5. Volleyball.

I keep telling myself I will get back on the court someday. That remains to be seen. The passion I have for this sport is like nothing I've ever experienced before.

6. Hugs.

I am not a touchy person, but I love a good hug from the right person. It always hits the spot.

7. Sushi.

I will never get tired of eating sushi.

8. Fire Pit Nights.

They're always filled with friends, family, laughs and a very interesting time.

9. "Friends."

This show is honestly my life. I relate any and every situation I'm in back to this show. It's kind of sad.

10. Vans.

They have been my newest addiction lately. I need every pair in every color.

11. Perfect Messy Buns.

Every girl and/or guy knows you can not achieve a perfect messy bun on the first try. It's near to impossible and very frustrating.

12. Makeup.

Again, another obsession.

13. Starbucks Pink Drink.

This is always my go-to drink. It's perfect for every season, year-round. I'm always constantly craving it.

14. Laughing.

Do you ever have a really good laughing session and it just hits the spot? Like you didn't know you needed it and it just gives you joy. Those are the best.

15. Taking Pictures.

Lately I've learned that moments come and go pretty quick. I've been taking a lot more pictures to captures them.

16. Ripped Jeans.

They may look poor to you, dad, but I promise it's a fashion trend that I am very happy to be a part of.

17. The Color Black.

I always have on something black. Sometimes my whole outfit is black. I goes with everything and compliments everyone. My hair is even black right now.

18. Donuts.

Krispy Kreme donuts will forever be my weak spot.

19. Water.

This sounds so weird, but yes I appreciate water. I will start to freak out if I don't have water or if I know that there's none nearby.

20. Summer.

Whenever winter comes around I'm always reminded of how ungrateful I was when the sun was around. There's nothing better than having your windows down, being pool side and traveling during the summer.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
