Never Forget The Little Things

Sometimes, life gets really hard. In those times, it is hard to think of things that you are really thankful for. Here is a list of 22 things you might not think about right away when thinking about things you're thankful for.

1. The Taste of Hot Chocolate

Who doesn't love the taste of warm hot chocolate on the cold, fall days?

2. The Way the Snow Falls

The way the snow falls is just so graceful and beautiful. It is mesmerizing to watch!

3. The Smell of Campfires

You would be lying if you said that you didn't love the smell of campfires. They are also so much fun to watch!

4. Warm Hugs From the People You Love

When life gets tough, nothing feels better than nice, tight hugs from the people you love most.

5. Christmas Music

Whether it is Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" or Idina Menzel and Michael Buble's "Baby It's Cold Outside," you know you can't resist belting the lyrics when it comes on.

6. Home Cooked Meals

Everything tastes better when your mom makes it for you.

7. The Moon, Stars, and Sky

Don't you just love looking up in the sky? Trying to find constellations, looking for specific planets and stars. Appreciating the beauty of the moon.

8. Movie Marathons

It could be all of the Harry Potter movies or all of the Twilight movies, but watching them all back to back is so much fun! Especially with friends!

9. Warm Blankets

When it is really cold outside, the best thing is to just run into your room and get under all of the warm blankets to warm you up. It is even better with a heated blanket.

10. Fuzzy Socks

Putting on warm, fuzzy socks is such a cozy feeling. Who doesn't love fuzzy socks?

11. Binge Worthy Shows

My favorite types of days are days that I can stay in my pajamas and bed all day, binge watching Parks and Rec.

12. Pillows

Don't we all have that one pillow we love to cuddle up with more than all the other ones?

13. Chocolate

This isn't the same as hot chocolate. Just chocolate by itself is delicious! Chocolate makes you super happy, don't try and deny it.

14. Puppies

It doesn't matter if it is your puppy or your best friend's puppy, but you love snuggling up to them and you love when they give you kisses.

15. S'mores

Who doesn't love s'mores?

16. Cute Mugs

I'm not sure about guys, but I know girls understand how exciting it is to get a new mug with a cute saying on it!

17. The Perfect Playlist

Don't you just love the playlists where you don't have to skip any songs?

18. Great Books

On a lazy day, it is just so nice to curl up in bed with your hot cocoa and your favorite book!

19. Pretty Stationary

Stationary with pretty designs on it are so much fun! It makes writing people letters even more fun.

20. Handwritten Letters

Getting a handwritten letter from you boyfriend/girlfriend, mom, or anyone you love is just so much better than getting a typed one or an email.

21. Family

They may or may not be your family by blood, but the family are the loved ones who always have your best interest in heart and who love you unconditionally. Talking to them or just being around them is the best.

22. Scenic Walks

Walking around a place with a bunch of pretty flowers and trees is just so relaxing!

These are just some of the little things that I am thankful for. I really hope that you agree with me and that you can see that the little things are just as important to be thankful for as the bigger things.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
