Celebrate the Little Things

You know what's annoying?

The last couple weeks of school.  It's supposed to be all exciting because you're finally done with Advanced Applied Analysis and that awful math project you've been working on all semester, but instead the last weeks of school are way more stressful than the rest of the semester combined.

It's like your teachers all realize at the exact same moment that you only have a week of classes left.

That means not only do you have to write those five term papers you've been putting off all semester, but now you also have to worry about a presentation, a take home quiz (because there wasn't time for it in class), three math homework assignments, and three online quizzes.  Not to mention, you've got those four finals coming up next week.

Seriously, that is what my last week of school looked like.

Needless to say (but I'll say it anyway) I've been quite stressed recently.  Because, did I mention that I haven't had a free weekend for the past month?

So, I've decided to start celebrating the little things in life.

For example, on Tuesday I celebrated the end of classes by eating pizza and sitting by the pool.

Then, Tuesday night I celebrated the fact that I managed to write a 7 page paper in under two hours (on account of I used my time earlier in the evening to sit by the aforementioned pool).

And then today I celebrated the fact that a cute guy made my smoothie at Jamba Juice. 

The fact that I also finished my math poster and two law essays was just icing on the cake.
