Small Triumphs In Our Everyday Lives We Keep To Ourselves
Odyssey

A list of not so significant, but true events that make us happy inside. We all catch those small breaks throughout the day, but we don't have time to share them all with the world. Sometimes we can post things on our social media, but some small triumphs in the day we like to keep to ourselves. Here's a short list of them!

1. The mornings you get to wake up to the smell of coffee...it is heaven!

2. While doing laundry, finally reuniting lost pairs of socks back together- that is a good feeling.

The dryer returns some socks, not all, but some!

3. In the morning when you turn on your car and the favorite song starts playing, turning a good morning into a great morning ride to work.

Having a carpool crew is the best, you save on gas, plus you make going to work not so boring!

4. After a long day at work at dinner time, you are lucky to find enough wine to fill a glass half full. Yes!

Red wine's antioxidants are one good reason to have a glass.

5. When you finally receive that online order sooner than you thought.

The benefits of online shopping are avoiding to deal with people and waiting in line.

6. Forgetting the laptop charger, but fortunately, the night before you left it charging and you have enough battery to get some work done.

7. When the alarm frantically wakes you up, but then realize it's a Sunday and not a Monday. Now you get more beauty sleep in.

8. Receiving an honest compliment when you least expect it and it doesn't feel weird. When someone says that you look good, then you are doing something right, keep it up!

9. Someone opening the door for you and remember manners still exist.


10. Getting a phone call from the person you were thinking about.

11. Receiving a little something extra deposit in your bank account you didn't expect.

12. Successfully parking parallel, especially in a crowded street. You've got parking skills.

This kid has skills!

13. When you feel your life sucks, but then you hear others' problems and you start feeling better.

Now, add your own in the comments section below. What are those small things that make you happy?

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
