    2. Waking up to an email saying class has been cancelled.

    3. Acting like a child once you’ve gone to college. Drawing on the sidewalk with chalk, stealing trays to go sledding, running around in the pouring rain, and even foam sword battles in the middle of campus.

    4. Taking your shoes and socks off after an extremely long day at work.

    5. Getting a tip that’s more than %30-40 in the middle of an awful shift.

    8. Drinking a pint of Guinness while overlooking the city of Dublin from the gravity bar at the storehouse.

    9. The feeling you get when you’re at the top of a big hill on a rollercoaster, just before you go down.

    10. Screaming on a rollercoaster or other ride just because you can.

  9. Being yourself.
    yeah, there are times when we aren’t exactly ourselves. We want to impress people- First dates, our boss, the first time we meet the soon-to-be-in-laws, co-workers, sometimes even our friends…but when you let loose and actually are yourself….it is so awesome.

    Having friends that know the real you, but love you anyway……awesome!

  10. When you move out of your parents house and start buying your own cereal.

    Goodbye Oat Bran
    Goodbye Shredded Wheat

  14. Meeting that special person that absolutely blows you away.

    Meeting someone that’s so different from anyone you’ve met.

    Falling in love more deeply than you ever thought possible.

    Connecting on every level, intellectually, humorously, intimately, physically and spiritually.
    Love my Bel

    1. The last time I found money on the ground, I was going out bowling with a bunch of people. I was the first one up to the door and found a bunch of money just lying there minding its own business. I pick it up, count it ($160) and decide that I’m going to turn it in instead of keeping it. It was just too much for me to keep. Someone might have needed that. Now, if it was $5 or even $20, I probably would have kept it. Everyone thought I was crazy for not keeping it.

  15. Sneezing a whole bunch of times in the row then being extremely tired.

    And Being underwater in the complete silence

  16. Getting a clean bill of health after a checkup. Especially if you were worried about something.

  17. When you’re feeling down and a special someone gives you a hug or makes you laugh – instant mood booster…
    AWESOME !!

  18. Shutter sounds on a camera.

    Cracking your back.

    Seeing someone yawn, then having the best yawn for yourself.

    Finding something great, going to pay, find out its on sale.

    Water in a paper cone cup after practice. Or 10 cups.

    Seeing your battery fully charged.

    Go grocery shopping, come home and place everything. Find yourself snooping and snacking through everything just purchased.

  19. -figuring our which movie that random actress is from

    -when you turn on the radio and your favorite song just started

    -looking out the window in the morning and seeing that the sun is out

    -the beach at dinner time when people are starting to leave even though its the nicest part of the day
