Now I know the term “perfect” gets thrown around a lot lately and because of that, doesn’t always seem sincere. Can that many people and coffee drinks really be perfect? I can’t speak for everyone but sometimes a simple gesture or a tasty coffee drink with just the right amount of whipped cream are the most perfect thing that could happen in that moment.

Here are a few perfect moments to appreciate when they happen your way:

1. When you get blocked for both coffee and gelato in one week.

2. Even though you left for class late, you miraculously make it a few minutes early and get your normal seat.

3. When an attractive person smiles at you and it wasn’t because there was something on your shirt.

4. When a great workout is able turn your entire day around.

5. When you find money on the ground, especially in bill form.

6. Coming home from class to a home cooked meal.

7. When your friend gives you hug on a day that you needed one.

8. When one of your pet peeves is that Ohio State being the undisputed national champions is constantly mentioned. I guess I’m okay with winning.

9. When you are able to sleep just until your alarm in the morning.

10 .When you have just enough time to finish your Netflix episode before leaving for class.

11. When you do well on a quiz you weren’t able to study for much.

12. When you get to pet an adorable puppy as you’re walking down the street.

13. Free insomnia cookies.

14. When you get a supportive phone call from home.

15. Not having to wait to do laundry.

16. Being able to make a difference in a cause that is much bigger than yourself.

17. Finding the perfect TG costume right in your own closet.

18. Finding a gift card in your desk drawer that you had forgotten about.

19. Realizing you have some of the best friends and sisters you could ever hope for. Not just perfect, but priceless.

I do not think life is about having everything be perfect. That isn’t realistic and would probably end up being boring. I think life is more about having a few perfect moments to help up appreciate how good we have it.
