100 Small Things In Life
Tumblr

It's midterm season, and it is obvious that we are overwhelmed and stressed about everything. In the midst of all the craziness in life, we forget to relax and think about the small things in life. One method of relaxation for me is to think about things that aren't currently overwhelming me. By doing this, I am able to appreciate the things that I wouldn't normally think about on a daily basis.

Here are some of my favorite small things in life:

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
