For when we forget to remember the little things that make us happy.

60 Little Things In Life
Caroline Smart

With all of our busy, hectic and all too stressful lives, we can sometimes lose sight of the small things that make us happy. Sometimes we’re too focused on the “big” things making us upset and don’t take the time to slow down and look at what we have around us. If you ever find yourself doing that, remember a couple of these items on this list. My personal favorite is No. 49.

Little Things in Life:

1. Singing in the shower

2. Dancing in the car

And then the person next to you at the stoplight catches you belting all the words to "Baby" by J Biebs, but you have no shame.

3. The smell of clean laundry

4. How warm and tight your jeans feel when they just come out of the dryer

5. A smile from a complete stranger

6. The girls in the bathroom who become your best friends when you're drunk

7. Unsubscribing from pointless emails

8. The first sip of coffee in the morning

9. The last bite of a Chipotle burrito

10. Hitting no red lights your entire drive home

11. The water chug the morning after a night out

12. A sing-along with your friends in the car to a throwback song

13. The trees turning green again after a long winter

14. An outdoor shower after a day at the beach

15. A good hair day paired with a good outfit

16. A text back

17. The smoothness of your legs after you just shaved with a new razor

Then you prompt everyone to pet your legs like they're your new pet dog.

18. Acing the test you thought you failed

19. The house smelling like freshly baked cookies

20. The butterflies you get during a new relationship

21. Morning stretchesThat can never be replicated at any other time of the day.

22. A stranger's random act of kindness

23. The sound of waves crashing on the beach

24. When your phone doesn't die after a long night out

25. Driving in a jeep with no doors

26. The perfect tan

27. Balanced income statements in accounting

28. A perfect marshmallow to graham cracker to chocolate ratio

29. Someone buying your Chipotle for you

30. Having more than four Facebook notifications

31. Perfect winged eyeliner on your first try

32. Waking up just before your alarm goes off

33. Any type of puppy

34. The feeling of finally being over someone

35. Running the pong table all night

And it's an added plus if your partner is 10/10

36. Not losing in "Odds Are"

37. Having the perfect amount of change for the drive thru

38. Reconnecting with a friend who you haven't seen in awhile

39. Getting your paycheck

40. Rapping a whole song without any mistakes

41. A meaningful hug

42. The smell of your clothes after a bonfire

43. A perfectly toasted bagel

44. Looking good in your license picture

(Or at least halfway decent)

45. Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens

46. Watching the sunrise

47. Listening to a throwback song and still knowing all the words

48. Finding a diary from when you were little and thanking everything in the world for puberty

49. When it's pouring rain out and your drive under a bridge and are safe for an eighth of a second

50. Snorting when you laugh

51. When all the members of your group project participate

52. Not being hungover after you definitely should be

53. The smell of freshly cut grass

54. Starbucks spelling your name right

55. Watching home videos and again thanking everything in the world for puberty

56. Someone else paying to fill your tanks

57. Massages

58. Finding money in your pocket you never knew was there

59. Waking up two hours before you have to and realizing you can go back to bed

60. Chipotle not charging you for guac

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
