20 More 'Stop And Smell The Roses' Moments

Many things go without notice in the world but I love to stop and take a moment to appreciate the little things that are beautiful even if they are senseless.

I observe every little thing in this world; no detail goes without notice. I am obsessed with the little events that consume my surroundings. Whether you have noticed them too and love them the same or think this is dumb and can care less, I think these little things in life are exceptionally beautiful.

Sunlight streaks through the window

There's some type of magic that happens when I can watch the dust particles dance around in the light... even if it gives other people anxiety knowing how much dust is in the air.

Planes flying through the clouds

Watching the plane's light flicker in and out of clouds at night and making a guessing game out of where it will end up.

Stillness of the summer air

The anticipation of any kind of breeze to start rustling the trees becomes your only thought.

The sun sneaking through the clouds

I love the manifestation of patterns on the ground and when the sun creates unseen depths in mountains.

Morning ocean mist

Everything is coated with haze and is dewy to the touch but there's comfort in knowing this phenomenon happens every single day.

Light rain drizzle on a tin roof

Such a soothing tap that resonates in your mind forever.

Geometric Congruence

Even if we are unaware, we are attracted and oddly satisfied by how perfect something is... I.e. a flower or spider webs.

Burning fire coals

Even after the fire has died out, the hot coals are still illuminated with reds and oranges.

Roaring of a crowd

Positive or negative "roaring", as a whole, there is goal and unity from everyone. It's something we unfortunately don't experience everyday.

Concert goers singing along with the artist

I get goose bumps listening to the crowd at a concern, sing along with the artist on stage. Such dedication and excellence in connection - It's probably one of favorite things on earth.

Sleeping in the dark

This may sound psychotic for some, but this is the most relaxing feeling. The day is over and it's time for yourself to reflect and be at peace.

Chivalry

Something so simple is so beautiful and I'd hate to see it die..

A child's laughter

So innocent and so pure; a beautiful stage in life.

Old couples holding hands

A thoughtless and taken for granted action which the beauty can become lost. Seeing older couples still hold hands after generations of being together gives hope for us all.

The soft chatter in a cafe

In the midst of the chaos in this world, sitting in a cafe or restaurant sipping on your favorite drinking and listening to others, I find it quite beautiful. You're focused on making sense of others that everything else is none-existent for a split second.

Newly organized belongings

Whether this is your long neglected closet or messy kitchen, it's astonishing how much it changes you when everything is finally in it's place. I feel like a whole new person.

Smell of coffee grounds

For my coffee drinkers, opening a new container or package of coffee grounds is such a joy, it honestly gives me an adrenaline run. Such power in tiny little crumbs.

The musky smell of an old house

It's beautiful when you realize how many people have lived here and the life they lived, the smell revels it's true age.

Old tattered books

Uneven pages of a book and feeling how soft the pages have gotten over the years. *swoon*

Curtains blowing in the breeze

I love how haunting it sounds without any visual but I find beauty in a an object being manipulated but such a harmless force of nature.

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.
