The Importance Of The Little Things In Life

Sometimes in life we get caught up in everything and our day-to-day routines that we forget that the greatest joys can come from the smallest things. Routines can be good, but you may forget to realize and notice the little joys in life that make us so happy. When you start to realize just how nice the little things in life are, it makes you take a step back and see just how beautiful life really is. If you start to appreciate and realize these little things in life you may just enjoy it all a bit more. Here are some of my favorite little moments in life:

1. Crawling under the warm covers after a long day

2. The smell of freshly baked cookies in a kitchen

3. Making someone else smile

4. Walking outside and feeling the warm sun on your face

5. Finally seeing someone you have not for a long time

6. Long phone calls with your best friend

7. Getting a compliment from someone

8. Listening to your favorite song

9. Singing loudly in the car

10. Hot soup on a cold day

11. Seeing snow flakes fall down

12. Looking at old photos

13. Finishing a great book

14. Hugs

15. Not having to set an alarm for the next morning

16. The smell of rain

17. The smell of coffee when you first wake up

18. Putting on sweatpants

19. Long drives with your best friends

20. The first beach day of the Summer

21. Talking to your family on the phone

22. Lazy Sunday mornings

23. Going to concerts

24. Warm summer nights

25. Seeing the leaves change colors in the Fall

26. The last day of school

27. Getting a good grade back

28. Getting packages in the mail

29. Free stuff

30. The first sip of water after working out

31. Burning your favorite candle

32. Wearing a new shirt

33. Getting into bed with freshly cleaned sheets

34. Reaching a goal you set

Clearly, there are hundreds more, but these are just the ones I could think of on the spot. The beauty of life is in the little things. Yes, there are always going to be hard times in life and obstacles we must overcome. However, by focusing on the good things, that are sometimes the most simple moments in life, it is much easier to see the beauty of life as a whole. These little moments end up making the big moments in life. So if you begin to catch yourself forgetting about those tiny things in life that can make a big difference, then you can start trying to focus on these smaller moments in life that will show you the true reasons we can be content and happy in life. Enjoy the little things!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
