15 Best Things About The World That Everyone Forgets About
Anna Cornetta

Although the world seems a little grim sometimes, there is always so much to be happy about! Here are 15 of the best things about life that will make you smile!

1. When a baby holds your finger with their whole hand

There really is nothing cuter than a tiny human whose whole hand only fits around one adult-sized finger!! If babies don’t make you smile I’m not sure what will.

2. Hugging people!

You really can’t beat a nice long hug from someone you love or haven't seen in awhile. The type of hug where someone’s arms go over and someone goes under, those are definitely the best kind of hug.

3. When the food comes to your table

Stomach-rumbling, mouth-watering type of hunger -- and the food finally arrives. Only risk: when the server walks by with what seems like your order then goes to another table...

4. When you see UPS drop off your package

Whether it’s something you ordered online or maybe a care package from your mom, a package with your name on it has to give you a smile!

5. Summer thunderstorms

When the air is warm, the rain is chilly...

6. Sunsets/Sunrises

The cotton candy sky, the first twinkling star, the reflection of the sun on the ocean...need I say more?

7. Laundry detergent that smells delicious

Although tide pods are fun these days, the best laundry detergent is the one that makes you smell so clean & fresh!!

8. Diving into a wave

This one may take the cake: diving under the wave, it rushes over you, and coming up a moment later breath of fresh air.

9. Waking up from a really good dream

You know those dreams you just wake up smiling about? You know you’re going to have a good day when you wake up smiling.

10. Going to bed in clean sheets after a shower

No one can argue that this is hands down the best feeling.

11. When your pet cuddles you on their own

It’s nice when you put your cat or dog on your lap and they stay, but it’s even better when they come snuggle with you themselves!!!

12. Wearing a swimsuit 24/7 in the summer

You can't even complain about the sunburn when you're spending days at the beach!

13. Driving under a bridge when it's raining

For those two seconds, you can see clearly now, the rain is gone!!

14. When it’s the middle of the night and the sky is weirdly bright

Maybe from a reflection of snow, or just from night lights, but sometimes the sky is so bright in the night and how cool is that?!

15. Finding a new song that you can’t stop listening to

A song that maybe pulls at your heartstrings, or has a great bass drop...finding new music is the best of the best.

So, go hug your friend or look at the sky because there is so much in life to smile about!!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
