There are some things that we can all agree on. All of these 60 things listed below are things that we all get excited or happy about, even if it is very small. Remember to always appreciate the little things in life!

1. Finding money in unexpected places

There is no better feeling than finding that five dollar bill in your back pocket, or that twenty in the old wallet you stopped using.

2. Stop lights going your way

When you see a red light up ahead and it turns green just in time that you don't have to stop is saving us that whole minute.

3. Pressing the snooze button on your alarm

Waking up to your alarm and knowing you don't have to get up makes for a better slumber.

4. Rain happens to stop when you need to walk to your car

5. In a long line and one opens up just for you

"I can take whoever is next!" Score.

6. Favorite song comes on the radio

No matter who you are I know you like either blasting the radio, singing your lungs out, or just nodding your head to the beat.

7. Text from "you know who"

Receiving that text from that special someone is always a nice feeling.

8. Receiving a package earlier than expected

Getting packages in general is like Christmas!

9. Getting a good grade on something you thought you failed

Getting that paper back you typed in twenty minutes and realize you're secretly a genius.

10. Finding cute AND comfortable shoes

Very rare, but very exciting.

11. Liking the first outfit you put on

Literally just saved you an hour!

12. Buying the last of an item

Now you luckily don't have to go to another store to find the same thing.

13. Finding something you misplaced quickly

You know when you don't remember where you put your keys and then the first place you check they appear? Yeah, that.

14. A match on Tinder

We all feel a little accomplished and a little better about ourselves.

15. Getting paid forward

When your Starbucks is mysteriously paid for and you feel so blessed.

16. Class gets cancelled

Which also means more time to watch Netflix and sleep.

17. When "you know who" likes your Instagram picture

That's right, look at my picture.

Also realizing you didn't spend that much money either.

20. Getting a stain to come out of something you didn't think was possible

21. Getting a Venmo payment

I will take every dollar I can get.

22. Getting tagged in an Instagram picture

Don't lie you know you feel popular.

23. Unexpected gifts

Even if it was just your roommate making you a piece of toast. It counts.

24. When it doesn't rain on an important day

Not only do you not have to worry about your hair, but also can wear whatever you want, no mud, and more fun. Especially on game days.

25. Not having to set an alarm for the next morning

This may be my favorite thing on this list.

26. Still fitting in old clothes

Realizing you still fit into that one good pair of jeans you own again this year.

Even fifty cents feels like a huge save.

Bigger score.

No filter even needed.

Reminiscing with other people is so fun and makes everyone feel good inside.

37. Being told "good job"

Especially by your parents. It's always nice to feel like you are making them proud.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
