If you’re having a rough week with classes and non-stop activities, sometimes the littlest things can really boost your morale. The tougher the week, the smaller the thing needs to be to cheer you up. See how many of these morale boosters you can relate to.
Class Gets Cancelled Or Ends Early
Bonus points if this happens on a Monday or Friday – those are the days you always wish were shorter.
The Dining Hall Has Your Favorite Meal
The dining hall has its benefits – you don’t have to cook, food is available throughout the day for you to consume as you please, you can eat as much as you want. For all of those benefits, most students become weary of the dining hall food at some point in their college career. When you go to the dining hall and they happen to have your favorite meal or dessert, your day is instantly better.
Someone Compliments You
You feel like crap because you stayed up until 4:00 a.m. finishing a research paper and studying for a test, but when someone compliments you – BAM! Instant morale booster (even quicker than making ramen).
A Professor Pushing Back A Due Date
You’re thinking about all of the schoolwork you have to do this week when the professor tells the class they are pushing the due date for the paper back to next week. Day. Made.
Getting A Good Parking Spot
Every college campus has its parking problems. Students just never feel like they are parked close enough to where they are trying to go. When you get a spot closer than you ever imagined, it’s impossible to have a bad day.
Free Food
College students love food and college students love free stuff. Double win.
Seeing Someone You Haven’t Seen In A While
No matter how small your campus is, you’ll go weeks and months without seeing people that you used to see every day. When you randomly see one of these people, it’s a mini reunion.
Taking A Nap
This one is debatable depending on how you feel when you wake up, but few things are better than taking a nap when you really need it.
Petting A Puppy
Unless you’re terribly allergic, there should be no question in your mind about this one. If you really want to go all-out, go to Petland (or another store) and pet more than one puppy in one sitting. You’ll forget all of your problems and stress.
