Simplicity

In these stressful times of midterms, drama, work and love I have been finding myself appreciating the simple things that make me happy.

1. The view from my apartment. Even though I mostly gaze at it while sitting at my computer doing chemistry homework, it is calm and beautiful, even on the yuckiest days.
2. My wonderful friends. True friends always come through in difficult times and I can count myself as lucky to have many beautiful friends in my life.
3. Loving myself. Getting lost in the bullshit clouds what I think of myself, gets me down, until I realize I'm better than that.
4. The Street Car. I love hopping on, turning up my iphone and zoning out on my way to class.
5. My new study joint, the coffee shop 2 blocks away. Delish treats, coffee and free wi-fi.
6. Planning my 25th (YIKES!!) birthday extravaganza! Penthouse? Check! Theme? Check! Dress? Check! Invitations/Guests? Still in the process...
7. Time alone. Even though it comes at a cost of not having my roommate around (blah, another issue all together) I love doing what I want, having my shows on while I bust out the most complicated/boring chemical reactions ever.
8. Being sore. I've been busting my butt at the gym the last few days (see #6) and my arms, legs and stomach are killin me! Its great!
9. Out of town visitor. The cute boy toy returns on Monday night. I love me some good cuddle time and lots of laughs.
10. Going to bed early. Like the grandma I am.
