It’s the little things. Sometimes it’s all this rustle and bustle within our lives that we truly don’t stop to smell the flowers or just dancing in the rain. The best things in life are the pricless, simple moments. Whether it be finals, feeling isolated, not being in your zone or anything else…Enjoy each day and try making the best of every situation with some confidence and a smile.

This list was written to remind anyone about the things that are sometimes taken advantage of but truly so important- things that make you happy to be alive:

  1. Getting poured on and getting home to clothes fresh out the dryer.
  2. Enjoying the last bite of a delicious dessert.
  3. Being able to take a warm shower after a really long, hot day.
  4. Watching the sunset/sunrise.
  5. The first time you put your feet in the sand after not going to the beach for a while.
  6. Getting a package in the mail.
  7. Walking into an air conditioned room from being outside.
  8. Jumping into a bed with clean sheets.
  9. Hugging someone you haven’t seen in a long time.
  10. The feeling before and after you get on a roller coaster ride.
  11. Seeing a family member that you haven’t seen in years.
  12. Getting kissed on the forehead from someone you’re head over heels about.
  13. Finally listening to the new album your favorite artist(s) just dropped.
  14. Coming home to your pets who are extremely excited to see you.
  15. Being able to dress up for a wedding/special occasion you’re going to.
  16. Burning a brand new candle with an amazing scent.
  17. Receiving an awesome grade on a test you were studying for.
