45 Good Things That Happened Last Week

Life can be pretty rough. I think most of us will be able to relate to feeling like everything is going wrong and not being able to do anything to change that, a feeling of helplessness, a feeling of defeat.

I've been having some of those minor crisises lately - but hey, what are final exams without your life falling apart at least three times? - and I know I can say for myself that when I've falled into one of my mood holes, I'm often quick to see the world through some really dark glasses.

However, I saw a really nice idea that one of my fellow bloggers had - I saw about this on Twitter and even though I was so sure I had saved the post, I someshow didn't, so please tell me who this was!

She wrote an entire post all about the good things that had happened to her within the space of a week, and I thought that this was such a lovely idea to remind myself, and even others, to see the big picture and remember all the good things that happen even when you think everything sucks.

Because of that I decided to write down every single, small good thing that happened during the past week - and now I finally have the time to share my list with you guys!

1. I knew the text I had to translate in my Latin final exams because I had translated it before as practice. I literally remember 90% of it on the spot.

2. I thought I completely failed my Maths final, but I didn't. I didn't do very great, either, but at least I passed.

3. I had my favorite cake for lunch and didn't give a damn.

4. I decided to go home early on Monday because I didn't feel to good and missing those five classes was the best decision I ever made - gave me some time to breathe

5. Because I went home early on Monday, I had two entire free hours to myself in the evening. That's luxury during finals season, let me tell ya.

6. I finally managed to finish the presentation on my thesis.

7. I got to sleep in on Tuesday and woke up at 8am instead of 5.30.

45. Chosing family over work, because sometimes it's just necessary.

Looking at it now, I don't think I would've remember even a third of all these nice things had I not written them down - it's a nice thing to do once in a while to remind yourself that there's so many small, yet good thing that happen to you on the daily!
