Why The Little Things In Life Are The Best Things In Life

You know you hear this all the time, but it’s actually so true.

Why The Little Things In Life Are The Best Things In Life
Anna Sachs

You’ve probably heard it a lot - don't take the little things in life for granted. But do you actually take the time to stop and think about this? The little things in life are sincerely some of the best. Although we may think it’s the big things that money must buy, most of the time it’s the little happenings that are subtly all around that make us happiest. Here are a few little things in life that I rate among the best.

1. You’re walking to your class, or wherever you are headed, and you pass a fellow student walking her new puppy. Of course you’re going to ask her if you can pet it, why wouldn’t you?

2. A throwback song comes on your Spotify or Pandora playlist. You can’t help but to reminisce on those middle school/ high school days. Nothing says homecoming more like Baby Bash’s 2007 hit, “Cyclone.”

3. You receive an amazing text from Chipotle reminding you to play the chips and guac game so you can receive free chips later that day.

4. You’re driving down the road, your windows are down, it’s 75 degrees and sunny, and your favorite song comes on. Nothing beats driving and jamming out to your song on a beautiful day.

5. You climb into your bed after you just put fresh sheets on. Best feeling in the world.

6. Curling up on the couch or in your bed on a rainy day. Not leaving the comfort of your home when its gloomy outside is a great choice. Grab your computer and put some Grey's Anatomy on your Netflix and you have yourself the perfect day.

7. Randomly waking up an hour or so before your alarm goes off. It’s a relief to see that you still have time to sleep before you actually have to wake up and be a responsible person.

8. Happy hour - so necessary.

9. Taking an extra long shower or bath after a stressful day.

10. And finally, the first beach day of your summer. You know it’s the end of the semester when it’s too warm outside to focus in class.

I hope you stop to take a look at all the little things in your life that make you happy too.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
