A couple of years ago, I had another blog on which I posted random life updates and I'm not quite sure what the goal of that one was...
On that blog, I made a post about the “40 things that make me happy”
In all realness, I think it was originally 50 but I was too uncreative to make 50.
With the new decade almost upon us I decided why not remake that list? Plus, when is it not a good idea to think about the things that make you smile?
Waking up EXCITED for the day and what is ahead
Sun shining through windows and clear skies
My cat cuddling up next to me
Seeing my friends after a long time
Seeing my friends every day at school whether it be in our carpool or in classes
Blasting songs in a car and screaming the lyrics
The fact that MANY of my friends are my neighbors
Being with people who know all the lyrics to Queen songs
Spontaneous Shake Shack trips
This blog (although I was inactive lately :( )
Taking off/Landing on a plane
Being picked up from the airport!
Visiting my family whether it be in Estonia, Russia, or Spain
SPANISH ORANGES

Seared Salmon sushi when its a little warm at the top
Really any type of sushi
My gecko shedding her skin and showing off very bright, colorful colors
When the right “you’re” or “your” is used
Saying “you” instead of “u” in-text ← I’ve just never used u for some reason!
The first bite of cake
Receiving a good grade you worked your butt off for
Block-like modern homes
The calm peaceful sound of waves and gulls in the distance
Racing out to the wind line on a boat
The moment of inspiration when an awesome idea pops into my head
Dancing alone in my bathroom
Dancing with friends anywhere
Decorating the house before New Year!
NEW YEARS excitement

Grapefruits
Smiles in the hallway
Sitting by a fireplace
Squinting at the sun but then the relief after putting sunglasses on
Blog re-birth
It has been a WHILE since I have posted on here and I certainly plan to do more so in the near future. Honestly, junior year has been like a huge train hitting me in the face so far (in a good way) and I am doing a lot but I also need to step back to what I used to enjoy.
I hope you enjoyed this tiny tidbit of happy thoughts (at least for me). I think it never hurts to step back and think about some happy-inducing thoughts every so often…
Also, notice how I previously had written only 40 things because it was a little under 50…. Now I decided to be a #overachiever and go beyond that. Maybe that’s to make up for last time.
ALSO DISCLAIMER EUNSEO AND I BOTH HAVE ALMOST-FINISHED POSTS WE JUST HAVE TO GET DONE SO GET READY!
Thank you for reading and STAY HAPPY! Sasha
