Life can be hard; stressed out seems to be my second nature nowadays. Sometimes, the only thing that keeps you going is the little victories in life that don't seem to mean a lot, but actually are life-changing. In life, it's the little things that sometimes mean the most to you in the end. Whether it's finding a $5 bill in your pocket, eating at your favorite restaurant, or coming home to a clean apartment, the underrated perks in life mean the most. Here are 11 little victories that make your day 1000% better.
1. Getting to sleep in
Getting up at 7:00 A.M. every morning for class can get old real fast. Having a day to just sleep in is the greatest.
2. Seeing a dog when you're walking to class
Dogs always perk up your mood. When you're having a bad day and you see a dog walking, you instantly feel better. Go pet the dog!
3. Getting an A on an exam you thought you failed
Thinking you failed an exam but realizing you actually did well on it is the best feeling in the world. All that studying did pay off!
4. Eating a homecooked meal
Eating food that is not ramen or frozen pizza is life changing- especially when your mom makes it for you.
5. Finding money in your pockets or purse
Finding money that you either didn't know you had or you forgot about and randomly found is life-changing. It's like finding free things.
6. Wearing a cute new outfit for the first time
Picking out a new outfit at the store in one thing, but being able to feel confident and wear it out is another. Rocking a new outfit is one of life's greatest victories.
7. A clean living space
You take for granted a clean house or apartment until you go somewhere that is the opposite. Clean living is the only kind of living.
8. When you're having a good hair day
You mean I magically get to wake up and my hair wants to look cute? I'll take it!
9. Finding out something is on sale when you check out at the store
Thinking something is full price and then walking to the cashier and realizing it is unmarked clearance is one of the greatest feelings.
10. Putting aloe on your sunburn
Have you ever had that awful sunburn where you look like a giant tomato for two weeks? That feeling when you put cold aloe vera on it is the greatest feeling in the world.
11. Hugs with your favorite people
Hugs are always the best.
Sometimes in life, we get to going so fast that we forget the little joys in life. Slow down, enjoy life, and be sure to enjoy the little things.
