Sometimes in between the crazy hustle-and-bustle of everyday life, we forget to appreciate those small magical moments that truly bring us joy and happiness. These moments come in different ways, and always at unexpected times. Here are 10 of life's smallest, yet most beautiful, moments we experience here on planet Earth.


1. Smiling at a child you see in public

Even though you've never met them, their innocence and pure joy brings you happiness just by observing them.

2. Being lazy on a rainy day

Some days are just meant to be lived under a pile of cozy blankets in your most comfortable clothing.

3. Realizing you have a whole hour until you have to get up

Waking up before your alarm goes off only to discover you have one more whole hour of blissful sleep ahead of you, is truly one of the most satisfying feelings in the world.

4. When you receive a genuine smile from a stranger

Human kindness is truly a powerful phenomena.

5. A familiar smell from your childhood

These random waves of familiarness always come at the most random times, but bring back memories from your childhood.

6. Snuggling up to a pile of warm, freshly cleaned clothes

This is the equivalent of 1,000 hugs taking place at the same time.

7. Reading an amazing book

Sometimes escaping to a different world is exactly what you need (even if that world is fictional).

8. Cooking something that actually turns out perfectly

Cooking your own food that tastes amazing and fresh is truly rewarding.

9. Enjoying nature and being outside

Truly appreciating nature gives us a sense of tranquility and relaxation.

10. Finding an item of clothing that was destined to be yours

Sometimes, you try something on and automatically know it was meant to be. It's a great confidence boost and makes you feel and look your best.

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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
