50 Little Things In Life To Pull Happiness From

In life, we struggle to find happiness with many days we go through. Every day we look right over the littlest things that we should be happy about. I believe that if you find something small every day to make you happy, you will have a much better view in life. Here are some things that I believe bring true upright happiness to anyone's lives.

1. Getting off work when the sun is still up

Going to work for the whole day can be pretty upsetting, but leaving and coming out to the sun still up definitely puts a smile on anyone's face.

2. Being stuck in traffic

Yes you might think I am crazy for this one but listen, now you have more time to sing along to your favorite songs!

3. PUPPIES!!!

If you don't visit a puppy store at least once a week, you need to start. Instant happiness, I promise.

4. Being in the sun all day, coming home to shower, then realizing how burnt you actually are.

Don't lie. You know being burnt is a terrible yet awesome feeling. Who doesn't love the look of burnt cheeks and a red nose.

5. Buying cookie dough, but eating the whole package before you can even put it in the oven.

Who needs a "summer bod"?

6. Laundry fresh out of the dryer.

There is NOTHING better than some warm clothes.

SURPRISES ARE THE BEST!!

There is nothing better than realizing a person is laughing because they physically cannot contain excitement/happiness in their bodies anymore.

14. Driving with the windows down.

15. Canceled classes.

Back to bed I go, the more sleep the better.

16. Bonfires.

This is where you realize how much you love everyone you are currently surrounded with.

20. Home-cooked meals.

Nothing compares to your parent's cooking.

Being a girl is hard people.. especially when you're lazy.

I thank my boyfriend for giving me his whole closet.
