#100happydays

I'm pretty sure I have double-checked the calendar about a dozen times this week. Are you sure it's the end of February?? Are you sure that a quarter of my second to last semester of college is done?

It has really been hitting me how quickly life is changing! There are so many positive things that are going to be happening. But for starters, I figured I would update you on a fun project that I have started with a friend.

The project is the #100HappyDays Project! This is essentially a project where for 100 days, you take a picture of something that made you happy that day, then post it on a social media platform with the hashtag: 100HappyDays. I'm hesitant of posting it on a social media outlet, but I think this is a great idea for people to do! I've always been one for long-term projects, so when one of my dear friends brought this up, I immediately hopped on the band wagon. Heck yes I will take pictures and talk about things that make me smile!! Those are two of my favorite things to do!!

So I started last week, and have been pretty consistent about my picture-taking. However, I have missed a couple of days. And that is okay! Instead of trying to scramble and remember what I did the previous day, I have decided to pursue the next day's picture.

So far this has been great! Especially since the weather has been absolutely awful. Weather.com said it "Felt like -16" and was Bitterly Cold. You could say that again. I feel like I go through seasons of the flu when I walk in and out of buildings. The buildings themselves are warm, but outside is frigid. However, I am grateful for my many layers of warm clothing and the hand warmers stashed in my closet.

So here are some pictures from the #100HappyDays Project!!

Reggie the Frog made his debut in one of my Elementary Education Classes for snack day!

My very first Egg's Benedict!! So delicious. This was taken at the fancy catered brunch that is offered on Sunday mornings. This picture is kind of a crummy quality because I took it on my phone, but I think it kind of just looks like a magazine ad.

Free Movie Night at school! One of the perks of Luther is it's free movie night. So I saw the second Hunger Games movie with some friends before the movie comes out on DVD. It was good! Although the best part was watching one of my friend's reactions who was sitting next to me, and he had never seen the movie. Priceless.

It is official!! My friends and I are going to be calling this lovely abode, home, next year. We are living in this cluster of town homes in the prairie on campus. There are six of us living there in a six bedroom townhouse. Trondheim is the name of the house, and our particular unit is on the left of this picture, with the first two windows on both the first and second floor, a part of our unit. Trondheim 2...here we come! (Just another reminder that I am almost a Senior. Yikes!)

One of my closest friends, Ellie. She's the one who introduced me to this project. And this picture shows all of the tea that she has! It is marvelous. Tea at any part of the day is always acceptable.

One of my favorite parts, and something I am really looking forward to...I'm going to Seattle! Just for a quick weekend, but I will be visiting some friends that I have known since Kindergarten. I am so thrilled and grateful for this opportunity to visit them. Seattle is gorgeous and I cannot wait to see my two friends and the coast later on this semester.

This #100HappyDays project has been quite a bit of fun. It is a perfect way for me to look for the good in every day, and enjoy every moment!

Have a wonderful day!
