Appreciate The Little Things

When You're feeling down

think of all the beautiful things that life has to offer.

Picture the burnt orange sky as the sun rises

Imagine the birds signing and the warm breeze flowing through your hair.

The feeling of freshly washed sheets

Driving with the windows down

Screaming songs at the top of your lungs with your best friends

Looking deep into the eyes of the one you love

Falling asleep next to someone

and waking up to them still there.

Finding yourself falling in love.

A home cooked meal with your family

Vanilla bean candles scenting the house.

The chill of ocean water washing over your feet when you first step in.

Walking along the beach

Toes in the sand and sun beating down

The first sip of water after an exhausting workout.

Getting on an airplane for the very first time.

Riding a roller coaster with your hands in the air and eyes closed.

Hearing your favorite song on the radio

Your first kiss

A warm bubble bath after a long day

Hearing "I love you" from the right person.


Life is absolutely beautiful

Sometimes you just need to step back-

Look at the big picture,

And Appreciate the little things.

And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
