7 Small Accomplishments In Life
GIHPY.com

We all have those little success stories that happen to us daily. Especially if your life kind of sucks, like mine right now, you need to appreciate the little things.

Here are seven small accomplishments that we all should savor in life.

1. When you rip a piece of paper out of your notebook & it doesn't rip diagonally.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when paper doesn't rip correctly. You get less paper to work on, and you have to try again, wasting more paper. So when you actually get a clean rip, amazing.

2. When you find change anywhere.

Last week, I found a 20 dollar bill in the gym. I also have found five dollar bills in some of my old books. Money is a good thing.

3. When you actually know what you want to wear.

Giphy

Getting dressed is a complicated process. You need to pick an outfit that looks good, is appropriate for your situation, and can work for many activities. So when you actually know what that outfit is right away, the feeling is amazing.

4. When you realize you don't need to wear a jacket.

Giphy

It's getting warmer out, but it is also that weird time when you aren't sure if you need a jacket or not, so you take one anyway, just to be safe. So when you get outside, and find out that you don't need a jacket, amazing.

5. When your reddit comment doesn't get completely downvoted.

Commenting on a Reddit thread is a big risk. Especially because Reddit communities seem to have a hive mind that changes for seemingly no reason every few days. Having a comment upvoted is rare, even if it's only a few votes.

6. When you get either a five second YouTube ad, or a "Skip Ad" option.

Ads on YouTube are inevitable. So when you get a short one, or a skip ad option, you cherish it.

7. When You Order A Sandwich With Tomatoes On It, And They Don't Put The Tomatoes On The Bread.

Even though this seems like common sense, no one wants their bread to be juicy, restaurants still do this for some reason. It's pretty rare when you get someone who doesn't need to be reminded.

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.

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.

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

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.
