Appreciate The Little Things In Life

Just be nice and appreciate life.

Appreciate The Little Things In Life
Liam Moloney

Do you ever just lay in bed and think about all the little things in life? They actually do matter. Every second of everyday matters. The little things are usually taken for granted.

Occasionally, I just sit back and take in the little moments in life. The little moments build up to the big moments. Most people only remember the big things, but for me I remember the little things.

I remember when someone compliments me or asks me how my day is going. I remember all the spontaneous trips to the grocery store or to get ice cream. The littlest thing can change your life.

The little routine you do every week makes you who you are. Something as simple like watching Grey's Anatomy on Thursdays makes up who I am. I literally sprinted out of the park and raced home so I didn't miss it. Something as little as a TV show matters to me.

When my friend sends me a meme or tags me in something on social media it makes my day because it means they were thinking of me. When my friends show up to my job unexpectedly it means a lot because they were thinking of me.

People are too caught up in their own lives. Say hi to your neighbor. Stop for pedestrians. Just be nice to people because you don't know what their going through.

The smallest thing can change someone's day for the better. Send the people you love texts or memes it might brighten their day! I know it brightens mine.

At the end of the day the little things and moments in life are memories. Stop waiting for big things to come and enjoy the little things.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
