25 little things To Remeber in life

There are so many things to enjoy

In this life, there are so many big things to enjoy. We will all get to enjoy getting married and having children and buying a house. We'll get to explore and get a job and buy our first car. We'll get to watch our children have children. We'll get to graduate high school and college and watch our siblings grow up. With so many big things that we look forwards to in our lives, sometimes we miss the little things. I don't know if this is a real statement, but a million little things mean more than one big thing happening. I thought that I would come up with a list of little things we should be grateful for.

1. The light shining through the trees

2. A warm blanket on a warm day that just makes you feel extra cosy

3. A child jumping in a puddle while it's raining

4. A dog that passes by you and lets you pet it for a while ( this is the best especially if the dog has been in the sun)

5. Reading a quote that sends shivers through your body because it explains what's going on in your life

6. When you get in the car and your seat isn't too hot even though it's been in the sun

7. When you turn on the radio and your favorite song is playing and you haven't missed your favorite part

8. When you see a child and its parents and they're all matching and holding hands

9. Hearing a baby laugh. It doesn't matter about what, it's just the greatest sound ever!

10. When you drive past someone's house whose doing laundry and you get to smell their laundry

11. When you hold the door for someone and they say thank you

12. When someone notices something you did without being asked to

13. When someone sends you a letter just to say hello

14. When you get to refill the soap dispenser and watch the soap flow into the container

15. When someone notices that you need a smile and just smiles because they can

16. When someone does something out of the kindness of their heart

17. The smell of the street after it rains, when it's just a little bit humid

18. When you say something or do something that makes someone's entire week

19. Laying on your driveway on a sunny day and feeling the warmth of the ground and the sun at the same time

29. Having the cute boy talk back to you

21. When a song comes on and it suddenly makes everything make sense

22. Putting on a fresh pair of socks and having your feet so soft.

23. When you wake up in the morning and are still alive and the sun's still shining

24. Knowing exactly who you are and loving it

25. Loving yourself and your friends for who they are. You should always remind them how lucky you are to have them in your life.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.

The people that spend their summers at the lake are a unique group of people.

Whether you grew up going to the lake, have only recently started going, or have only been once or twice, you know it takes a certain kind of person to be a lake person. To the long-time lake people, the lake holds a special place in your heart, no matter how dirty the water may look.

There's no other place you'd rather be in the summer.

A bad day at the lake is still better than a good day not at the lake.

You know the best beaches and coves to go to.

You have no patience for the guy who can't back his trailer into the water right.

Doing the friendly wave to every boat you pass.

The cooler is always packed, mostly with beer.

Giving the idiot who goes 30 in a "No Wake Zone" a piece of your mind.

You have no problem with peeing in the water.

You know the frustration of getting your anchor stuck.

Watching in awe at the bigger, better boats that pass by.

Knowing any swimsuit that you own with white in it is best left for the pool or the ocean.

The momentary fear for your life as you get launched from the tube.

You're able to go to the restaurants by the water wearing minimal clothing.

Having unexpected problems with your boat.

Having a name for your boat unique to you and your life.

There's no better place you'd rather be in the summer.
