After a wonderful weekend that ended in a beautiful, big white house surrounded by incredible girls, I was happy.

But then, I got an e-mail from the Director of Residential Life, and my stomach dropped. Worry and crazy scenarios popped into my head, but then, I read it.

"Can you meet with me tomorrow? Don't worry. It's good news." A sigh of relief followed. It was all going to be okay.

Soon, my mind started to wander. I was a Staff Alternate for Resident Assistants, which meant that if someone had to step down, I could potentially step in. This made my hopes quickly escalate.

I could become a new RA, but who was I replacing? Where would I be living the rest of my sophomore year?

I asked around my fellow RA's, and nobody really knew.

But that afternoon, I got my answer. Another e-mail from that same woman.

"I wanted to offer you the First Year Resident Assistant position in Dolan effective immediately."

Instant joy, and excitement followed. I get to be an RA now!

After sharing the news with half the world, I continued my week, radiating happiness because life was getting better when it was already getting good.

I've always heard the idea that "good things come in three's" but I don't know if I believed it. So far, I had two great things, two extraordinary things had happened. And the idea of a third thing happening is wonderful!

But waiting for a third incredible thing to happen takes some of the joy of the other two away. Instead of enjoying all the magic that I get to experience, I am waiting for that third thing, imagining crazy, unlikely scenarios that could be that third thing.

And I am forgetting to live in the now, to enjoy this moment for what it is. In theory, good things come in three's is a nice sentiment, a good thought, but at the same time, it steals from the bliss and joy that good things bring.

So, I challenge us to believe that good things don't come in three's. They come in infinite amounts, and everyday is filled with events, with adventures, with reasons, that make it even better than the last.

Waking up thinking that the all the good things are yet to happen or have already happened is no way to live. Waking up remembering all the good things that are happening can add to the list of wonderfulness in our lives.

Good things may come in three's, but they also may not. And that's okay.
