15 Unordinary Moments To Be Grateful For
Bravelets Blog

Thanksgiving is quickly approaching, serving as a small reminder to be thankful for everything and everyone that we've been blessed with. As you celebrate the kick-off of the holiday season, don't forget to thank God for these unordinary moments you may forget about.

1. Embracing a long distance friend.

When you haven't seen your best friend in several weeks, your time with them is so much more meaningful. Hugs are just a way of expressing that sweet reunion.

2. That movie that always makes you laugh.

You know, that one movie that always gets you rolling on the floor? Yeah, that one.

3. When someone sees your hands full and holds open the door for you.

Or when people hold open the door for you any time. Either way, it's a kind gesture that shouldn't be overlooked.

4. That first bite into a Chick-fil-A sandwich.

You know the feeling: that juicy bite of sweet chicken with that smooth texture of the bread, topped with Chick-Fil-A sauce is incredible.

5. That moment when your food arrives at the restaurant.

Now everyone has to agree, this is by far a phenomenal moment to be thankful for. The suspense has built up way too long and you're ready to calm down your tastebuds.

6. When your favorite song comes on in the car.

Admit it, you’ve totally flailed your arms when your jam comes through the speakers. It’s like destiny is on your side.

7. When you don't have to set an alarm the next morning.

A few more hours of sleep?? Holla up in here!

8. When a stranger exchanges a smile with you.

That moment when you lock eyes with someone you've literally never seen before, but for some reason you smile and they smile back.

9. That moment you realize it's the weekend.

TGIF!! You've been waiting all week for this moment!

10. Catching something that someone throws at you.

Whether it's that t-shirt at the game, or just some trash someone needs thrown away, it's a fantastic feeling.

11. Finding a dollar bill in your pocket.

You know what they say: a penny saved is a penny earned. It's even better when you realize it's a $20 bill.

12. Waking up feeling refreshed and well-rested.

Isn't this the greatest feeling? You're energized and ready to take on the day. And maybe you don't even need coffee!

13. The belly-drop feeling on the first drop of the roller coaster.

Your insides shoot up and you may start screaming, but it's totally worth it.

14. Hitting every green light on your commute.

What an efficient use of time! And they all wonder why you're early...

15. The feeling of accomplishment when you've completed a big project.

Whether you've worked on something for hours, days, weeks, or months, the feeling of accomplishment is overwhelming-and so is the urge to celebrate.

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.

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.
