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.

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.

Which also means more time to watch Netflix and sleep.

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.

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

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.

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!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
