Don't Forget The Little Things That Make Life What It Is

Whether it's singing as loud as you can in the car with your best friends, or laughing so hard with someone until it's hard to breathe, these are the moments that make life what it is.

Don't Forget The Little Things That Make Life What It Is
Shelby Levine

In life, I believe that sometimes we look too much into the future that sometimes we forget to enjoy the present. I think that we look at things to bring us joy and to bring meaning into our lives that may not always last and may not actually make us as happy as we think they might. I do believe that such an important aspect of life are those little moments in time that make you feel invincible and as if every single little thing will be absolutely 100% OK.

To everyone, these moments may be different. It may be singing as loud as you can in the car with your best friends, or laughing so hard with someone until it's hard to breathe. It can even be something so simple as driving home after a long day at the beach, feeling the cool air on your warm skin with your favorite song playing in the background. You see, this is what life is all about. It's not about waiting for that next paycheck so you're able to pay the bills or attending the same old boring classes 5 days a week. Yes, those are important but it is most certainly not what life is all about.

At times, it's easy to forget about these little moments of happiness when we are so caught up in our busy lives; trying to balance working out, our social lives, work and getting enough sleep. It is easy to feel overwhelmed by it all and to feel as if it's a never-ending cycle. In those times it's important to remember to look back at those small moments of pure, effortless happiness. Let those moments be your reminder of how much more there is to life than all of that, and how pure and effortless life can be at times.

So always remember to never forget the happy thoughts and most importantly- don't forget the little things. At the end of it all, none of this matters if you don't take in those small precious moments with the ones you love. Those are the moments that you will remember and cherish forever and that will make even your darkest days that much brighter. So take in every little moment and hold onto it tight. Let those small moments of pure happiness be your push to keep going and be your reminder of just how wonderful this life is after all.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.
