    Peeling off the cellophane on a new CD in one clean swipe.

    When the barista puts a surprise chocolate sauce drawing on top of the whipped cream of your coffee-type drink.

    When you’re standing next to someone at the grocery store, and you don’t realize that you’re both looking for the same product until you simultaneously reach for it.

  38. When you are printing out an essay you’ve been working hard on. You just feel so liberated when you press the print button and watch all those pages coming out freshly inked and warm.

    Which brings me on to my next awesome thing: Warm paper from the copying machine.

  40. Making the perfect bowl of soup

    Waking up to discover that it is a snow day

    Finding out you’re right after a long argument

    Washing your sheets then letting them dry outside, so that they smell fresh and like pine when you use them that night

    The feeling you get after cracking your knuckles, ankles, wrists, etc.

    Being the first one in line for a grand opening, show, or concert

    Winning the Monopoly game after hours of suspense

    Finally getting to eat the food that you’ve been craving for ages

    Asking the nurse if the needle will hurt, only to be told you’ve already gotten the shot and you didn’t even feel it

    When you’re having a miserable day, but then come across someone polite and perking up

    Waking up one morning, stepping on the scale, and realizing you’ve lost a few pounds without even doing anything

    Getting that one item in the mail that you’ve been waiting for

    The cool, dewy air on a Spring morning

    Watching Price Is Right and being the one with the closest amount

    Eating a mint after stuffing your face at a restaurant

    Random suppers at restaurants

    Standing under the street light the moment it turns on

    Fried Bologna and mustard for lunch

    Leftover Chinese Food

    Waking up in the morning with that excited feeling in your stomach

    Waking up in the morning and actually wanting to go to work

    Eating cooked carrots fresh from your garden

    The glass of hot chocolate after playing out in the snow

    Jumping into a freshly raked pile of leaves

    Sitting inside a coffee shop late at night during the winter

    Watching ice melt

    The feeling after finally removing a stubborn splinter

    Seeing an old commercial from when you were a kid

    Being surrounded by all new territory

    Buying Boardwalk in Monopoly and feeling like King of the Hill

    Coming home to a clean house

  42. Finally learning the lyric that you could never figure out by just listening. You’ve heard the song a million times and always sing along until you get to that one line in the second verse that just sounds like giberish. One day you actually remember to look it up on the internet and…aha! Suddenly those garbled sounds resolve themselves into words. Wish the internet was around when I learned all the words to the first verse of “Life is a rock” – I did it the hard way by playing the 45 over and over and over.

  50. i’m also going to add when you’re having a mediocre-bad day and a great song from your childhood randomly starts playing from anywhere.

    or that level of acceptance when you’re dancing really badly to a really bad yet catchy song and there are people next to you dancing just as badly or worse but its ok, because the song is good, yet bad.

    familiar hug smell.
    when you hug someone super tight and you get a whiff of familiarity and feel safe.

    AWESOME.
