14 Little Things That Can Make Your Day Brighter
Funny Junk

1. Tiny milestones.

You got up today! You had breakfast! You ran for the bus and caught it!


2. The first snow of the year.

After the initial snow and the next day of playing in it, snow turns to slush and the cold is less fun. But the initial "first" is great!


3. Melty grilled cheese sandwiches.

Or mozzarella sticks. Anything with melty cheese that you pull apart. Ahh yiss.


4. That one video that will always make you laugh.

Like the Jurassic Park theme badly played on the melodica.


5. There are people in your life who love you and care about you.

Your mom or dad, sibling, roommate, friend, or significant other. Someone out there cares about you!


6. Googly eyes put on inanimate objects.

Googly eyes make everything silly.


7. Bubble baths.

Or, if you're not a bath person, a nice, long, hot shower.


8. Dancing in your room as you clean.

You have fun and feel productive afterwords!


9. That one really photogenic cat.

Like it's so pretty and photogenic? Look at that cat go, being all beautiful and stuff! Proud of that cat.


10. Seeing someone dressed well.

Look at them dressing up! They feel good and look good! Go that person!


11. Hugs.

Or if you're not a hug person, the people who respect you and your personal space and give you a high five or a smile instead.


12. All the music you can listen to on Spotify.

There is so much of it! Songs by everyone, all kinds of music for all occasions. There are so many possibilities!


13. Art.

Someone put a lot of thought and hard work into that drawing or painting or sculpture or photograph. And what's really cool is they created something beautiful.


14. Unfilled journals.

Look at all the stories you haven't told yet, all the adventures you haven't gone on. They're just waiting to happen so that you can write them down!

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
