50 Little Things To Be Happy About
Hana Wyatt

I find myself getting wrapped up in the hustle and bustle of everyday life and I forget to appreciate the little things. With graduation coming up, midterms coming to an end, and life continuing to happen faster than I'd like it to, I feel overwhelmed. I think positivity can do wonders but it's also important to remember that real life happens and real life isn't always positive. With that in mind, you can still be thankful for the little things during the hard times.

“Every day may not be good but there's something good in every day” Alice Morse Earle

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
