Ah Spring semester, how quickly you seem to have gone from tough to GIVE ME A BREAK MAN!
*Sigh* We feel you collegiette’s, the most wonderful time of the year, it is not. Midterms are coming up, colds are running rampant and those notorious Montclair winter-wind gusts seem to be extra powerful this semester. Now we know it’s easy to get caught up in a winter funk, but when that happens, you can either live in that state of joylessness where the world looks better from beneath your covers or you can remind yourself of the beauty of life by reveling in the little things that just make life that much better. Here are some things sure to turn that winter frown upside down!
Sunrises
Sunrises are not only beautiful to look at but they’re a beautiful reminder of just how great the start to a new day can be.
Fluffy Puppies
They don’t call them man’s best friend for nothing! And the fluffier they are, the bigger your smile is sureto be! (Trust us, it’s science.)
The Embrace of Someone You Love
Having someone special in your life that truly cares about you is an irreplaceable feeling. Plus, they give the best hugs.
Getting an A on a Paper You Were SURE You Bombed
Everyone’s had that moment when they hand in a paper that they are 100% positive they bombed. There’s no better feeling than having that anxiety quelled with a big, fat A. (Extra smile points if there’s a + next to it!)
Laughing Babies
We can’t be the only one’s who search up laughing babies on YouTube every now and then, right? Seeing a picture or video of a laughing baby is sure to bring a smile to anyone’s face. (And if you haven’t seen the one with the baby laughing at the sound of ripping paper, click here.)
Sneaking in a MUCH Need Nap
For most people, a nap is a rare luxury than either requires scheduling or is a foreign concept entirely. But when you’re able to get in those few extra minutes, you’re sure to be walking around campus with some pep in your step.
A Well-Deserved Girls Day
The phrase “Treat Yo’ Self” is something that everyone should indulge in every once in a while. Having a day dedicated to you and your friends is essential to retain some form of sanity during the semester.
Snow Days (AKA CANCELLED CLASS)
They’re rare but when they come nothing has you singing and dancing as much as that campus-wide e-mail informing you that you can spend the rest of the day in bed.
A Good Cup of Coffee on a Cold Campus Night
The best way to indulge yourself when you’re pulling a cold, all-nighter? COFFEE!
When Someone Makes You REALLY Laugh
You know the laugh we’re talking about. The one where you’re on the verge of crying and passing out at the same time because something is that funny. Nothing beats a gut-busting laugh!
Actually Having Time to Read That Book You’ve Been Dying to Start
Maybe you’re reading some great books in class (shout out to you Dr. Nicosia) or maybe you picked up something up from Barnes & Noble that has been on your list for months. Whatever it is, nothing beats actually having some spare time for pleasure reading!
That In-Shower Concert Moment You Have When You Find Your New Favorite Song
There’s nothing better than singing in the shower at the top of your lungs to your favorite song.
Slipping On Your Favorite Pair of Sweatpants Fresh Out of the Dryer
Can we just live in sweatpants during the winter? Can Obama make that an official thing before he leaves office?
Three Words: Adult Sized Ball-Pit
Who says you can’t be a kid forever?
YOU
Never forget that you are in charge of your own happiness. So try your best to look at the glass half-full, get out there and rock this semester!
