It's the Little Things

I've been really focusing on things this week that have been making me happy.
It's probably because being a Senior who has three months until graduation, I really don't want to go to class anymore.
I'm so beyond ready for summer to come and all of the joy that comes with it.
I'm ready to not have to go to Statistics class and spend time in study hall.
I'm ready to be free from high school.
The reasons for this can be saved for a different post, but my point is, everyday I wake up needing to have something to look forward to.
Focusing on the little things is one way I stay calm, content, and happy no matter what day of the week it is.
{Although, it helps when it's a Friday rather then a Monday}
I live believing that it's important to find happiness in every part of your life, even if it's little.


1.  Braided friendship bracelets that remind me of 6th grade
2.  My grandmother's earrings and
3. ring that she gave me
4.  Surprise cupcakes from my Dad
5.  Fuzzy socks
6.  Fresh squeezed orange juice {thanks Mom!}
7.  After school ice cream
8.  Ever senior has to create a piece of artwork that will be turned into a tile to decorate a wall in the school with.  I finished mine and l-o-v-e how it turned out!
9.  Apple carrot lemonade 

pandora, nighttime drives by myself, yummy bagels in the morning, fresh coffee, bedtime, sunny days, yoga pants, productive afternoons, the new issue of Nylon, and....

the fact that it's 9:30 and I'm about to go to bed.

Oh, and YOU!
I thank my lucky stars every day that I continued blogging everyday even when I had one follower.  Because if I hadn't, I wouldn't have met all 73 of you.  Seriously, your comments and sweet tweets make my day! I'm so happy and blessed to have had such a positive blogging experience thus far, and I can't wait to continue meeting more of you and developing blogging relationships in the future! 

It's the little things like that that I love.

It's the Little Things

my apologies in my extremely vague and upsetting post last night.
it was just one of those stressed filled, pmsing days where nothing seems to go alright.

but i'm better now {or almost better}

and i figured i should focus on the little things that are making me happy!

the pretty amazing menu at the greek restaurant i ate at in the city a few weeks ago

starbucks holiday cups!

pinkberry

and pumpkin ice cream

the ceiling at the greek restaurant

gorgeous red leaves

the wish box at the Museum of Modern Art

tall buildings

the colder weather
rain
my new scarf
my family
my amazing best friend
peppermint mochas
thanksgiving next week
glee
modern family
chocolate chips

oh and....
the beatles are on itunes
carey mulligan was cast in the great gatsby
and
there is going to be a royal wedding next year.

pretty amazing things.

what is making you happy this week?

It's the Little Things

hey hey!
i'm back from my day trip to massachusetts.
i was visiting a college, so i had my interview and everything there.
i think it went well!  (or i hope so!)

i'm now stuck at home sick with a cold.
so i figured it'd be a good time to do a "It's the Little Things" post to remind me what I have to smile about!

Avalon Organics Grapefruit shampoo makes me happy

MASH drink helps a sore throat

my pretty owl key chain always makes me smile

pumpkin spiced candles make it fell like fall

the pretty sunset on our drive home yesterday

remember when i was deciding on glasses?
i chose the "miles" frame from warby parker!

i highly recommend this site if you're looking for new glasses.
they were only $95, which is significantly less then my other glasses.
that includes the lenses and shipping!
the customer service was outstanding!  i love them!

that's it folks.... happy october!
i can't believe i've already been in school a month.
it's crazy to think next month i'll be applying to colleges and that the holiday season is starting!

i kind of hate halloween (last year's emergency surgery with the doctor's dressed up as witches didn't help) but hopefully it will still be fun!

p.s did you notice the new blog layout? it was time for a change!

p.s.s the foodie blog is having an awesome giveaway!  the first ever!

The Little Things

my new shaggy yellow pillow from anthropologie


panera iced green tea

i'm off to give my tired (and sore) muscles a rest in a hot bath with my euro review book!
