A close friend of mine started posting on his band’s Facebook page “100 Days of Happiness” in which he posts a picture of something that makes him happy. So far posts have included a picture of himself with his band when he was 15 years old, a stuffed animal, the names of his alarms on his phone, and a pair of headphones. I wouldn’t list 100 things that make me happy in one blog post because that’d be a lot to read. But, I’ve got a nice even list of ten because my Spring Break will be here in one week, and I’m excited, and sometimes you just need a reminder of the little things in life that make it great.
1. Breakfast. I look forward to this meal every morning: bacon, eggs, hash browns, waffles, fruit, muffins, oh my.

2. A blank page. There’s nothing like turning a page in your notebook and starting fresh. The pristine white is inviting and writing is how I express myself, so how could I not enjoy a notebook?

3. Flip flops. When it’s sunny and I can finally pair a cute outfit with flip flops, it means summer is in the air, and I can’t get enough of summer. Plus, flip flops mean I can paint my toe nails, layer anklets upon anklets and throw on my toe rings.

4. A jog. On a nice day, when I don’t have too much to do, a jog is so refreshing and helps me destress and I feel invincible.

5. On a whim movie moments (or at least they feel like movie moments to me). When I’m in the car with a friend and we decide to just drive around and talk and blare our favorite songs. When it’s almost midnight and me and a friend decide that we need to go grab a burger. And those quiet instances when you sneak a kiss despite the chaos that is happening around you. Moments like those when it’s almost too surreal to be real.

6. Listening to my iPod. Sometimes life gets so hectic and the simple act of putting on my headphones and zoning out or getting in the zone with the help of music makes all the difference. I wish my life had a soundtrack, and this is the closest I can get.

7. Buying groceries. Food shopping is a liberating experience of free will. I get to decide how many cartons of strawberries I buy, whether I really need that organic chocolate, and which jar of syrup I should get. I just love making those little decisions.

8. Hugs. They LITERALLY make my day. A hug from a friend makes me so happy, and I try to hug all my friends upon seeing them and when we part ways. I can’t get enough hugs.

9. Strawberries. My favorite fruit. I can eat pounds of these in one sitting. And when I have them in my fridge, I cannot wait to eat them. And when the dining hall serves them, I guarantee, I eat them all.

10. The posters plastered to the wall of my dorm. I’ve made my space my own despite that my residence here is temporary, but because of the decorations I feel at home. Bring Me the Horizon sits above my desk, Pierce the Veil above my bed and a slew of other screamo bands cover the walls from floor to ceiling, making me like walking into my dorm.
