College can sometimes be a rough time. Most of the time, you will make the best memories of your lives, but others will make you never want to adult again. However, when you actually have to do adult and it is going completely wrong, do not forget about the little wins that you often forget about.
1. Netflix
I don't know about you, but when I see that my favorite TV series on Netflix has the red banner across it, that says 'new episodes' I instantly binge watch the entire season in 12 hours.
2. Checking your bank account and having more money than expected
When you think that you have $2 in your account and you look at your balance and you have way more than that. Instantly, you feel accomplished AND you know you won't be stuck eating Ramen Noodles all week.
3. Finding a Freshman with swipes
The days when you check your bank account and you actually only have $2 and a freshman offers to swipe you lunch.
4. Receiving an email that your class is cancelled
Even if you show up to this class to find a note on the door, it is still so nice to have the relief that you do not have to sit in that class!
5. When you actually get more than 3 hours of sleep
College is very busy... Most nights it is hard to get everything you want to get done in a timely manner, so those nights you actually get to sleep more than three hours you feel like you can accomplish anything.
6. When you find a major you actually love (even if it takes you 9 majors before it)
Finding your passion makes class so much more enjoyable. You will go to many classes that you despise, but once you find a major that is worth it, it makes it all OK.
7. Having friends that never make you stand alone
Finding friends that will go out with you is easy to find in college, finding friends that will stand by you no matter what you are going through is something that takes more time to find.
8. Finding time in your day for 'me time'
When you are finally able to do things that you have wanted to do AND not worry about anything else, you feel relieved. 'Me Time' is needed and sometimes you don't realize how much you need it until you actually NEED it.
9. To be able to trust that you are doing the best you can possibly do
When you take a step back from everything you are doing and realizing there is nothing more in your power that you can do.
