Life is all about the little things that make you smile. Sometimes, when you’re in a low place, all you need to think of is the simple things that make you happy for no reason.

This is for those days where you can’t seem to find any sunlight in the clouds. This is for when you’re having the worst day possible and can’t find any good in anything.

This is to remind those of you who are in bad places in your lives that there is plenty of good things in life, and you can find happiness in the smallest of things.

1. Coffee!

2. Naps!

3. Beach days; feeling sunkissed and tired from just sitting on the beach all day!

4. Sunsets!

5. Sunrises!

6. Singing along to some good tunes in the car with your closest friends!

7. Finishing a really good book that you wish never ended!

8. Those nights with your friends where you talk about everything and open up about things you’ve never opened up about!

9. Road trips!

10. Watching your friends achieve their goals in life and fall in love!

11. Bonfires!

12. Taking pictures in cool, new places!

13. Musicals!

14. Baking (even if you’re bad at it)!

15. Getting a new foundation!

16. Blasting music with some poppin’ bass while driving!

17. Movie nights!

18. Hot cocoa on a cold night!

19. Fresh sheets!

20. Realizing you’re falling in love again!

21. Telling the people you love that you love them!

22. The first kiss with someone you’ve been dying to kiss!

23. Butterflies!

24. Text messages from unexpected people!

25. Ice cream!

26. Meeting new people!

27. When random strangers compliment something about you or your outfit!

28. Complimenting a stranger!

29. Friendships that are bursts of positivity!

30. Realizing how great the people in your life are and how much you adore them!

31. Waiting for something you’re excited about!

32. Watching a really good movie for the first time!

33. Discovering new songs that put your thoughts into words!

34. Getting new lotions and perfumes!

35. Nights where the sky is full of stars!

36. Freshly shaving your entire body!

37. Reaching a goal that you worked so hard for!

38. Nights where you have no homework!

39. Laughing so hard your sides hurt!

40. Realizing that you’ll be okay!

Even when there are days where going on with life seems impossible and there aren't any reasons to be happy, I promise that there are so many beautiful things about life.

There are thousands of good things in life and there are always reasons to live.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

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!
