10 Small Daily Victories That You Should Definitely Embrace

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Rowan chapter.

The semester is coming to a close and that means the weather’s getting nicer, the assignments keep piling up, and the line to beg for extra credit outside your professor’s office is getting longer. Despite end of the semester stress, you should be proud of even the small things you do every day.

 

1. Getting out of bed.

It may seem obvious, but hey, even though your bed was super comfy before you had to leave for your 8 AM, you pushed through.

 

2. Finishing assignments on time.

Pulling an all nighter or waking up at the crack of dawn to get a paper before class was definitely rough but your GPA will thank you later.

3. When there’s no line at Starbucks.

 

We all know how hectic the student center pit can get in between classes, especially the line for Starbucks. When there’s no line, it’s a sign that you have to get an iced coffee before statistics.

 

4. When someone holds the door for you to get into your building.

Bless those souls who hold the door to your residence hall or the library saving you the hassle of getting your ID card out.

 

5. Free snacks in the pit or on the patio.

Face it, you’ll agree to just about anything when there’s free cotton candy, fried oreos, or even coffee being handed out.

 

6. Email subject: “Class is Cancelled”

You can now enjoy the beautiful weather without the guilt of skipping class.

 

7. Crossing a clear Route 322.

Let’s face it, the drivers are reckless and forget that hundreds of students have to cross 322 each day to get to class or the student center, and you’ve probably been close to being hit by a car. Whenever you see a car-free 322, seize that moment.

 

8. Taking a nap.

There’s nothing better than climbing in bed after a tough day and sleeping it out.

 

9. Knowing that your outfit is on point.

Look good, feel good; am I right?

 

10. Having your friends.

Whether you need a lunch buddy or a Netflix buddy, having your friends at the end of the day makes it all worth it.
