#108; When the person you voted for, wins.
At Western University (see what I did there haha), it’s that crazy period of the year that I like to call Campaign season. Now, I don’t want to boast or anything but Western definitely has huge school spirit and everyone seems to be buzzing about the latest news on the candidates for the various positions.
This year, the presidential elections was actually very interesting (and also...

#109; Joking about your insecurities with your...
After a certain point in our lives, we can look back at our immature preteen years where we spent too much time making fun of others, and being made fun in return and actually laugh at those embarassing, use-to-be painful moments.
Everybody has that one (or two) insecurities that no one else but them think it’s a big deal. And more often than not, we derive these insecurities...

#111; When you're at the stop light and you can...
Nothing like approaching a stop light, and not having to wish for it to turn green because either way it works out for you because you have to cross both ways eventually anyway.
Win-win situation.

#112; Having moral support with you while getting...
Okay, so maybe this post is reserved for just girls.
I guess it is sort of in our nature to wish for company where ever we go, whether it is the washroom or to go shopping or … for instance, to get a piercing done.
But then again, maybe we are just truthful and admit our fears, and simply want some moral support. I mean, when a thick needle is going through your cartilage, ear lobe, or...

#113; Warm toasty bed sheets fresh out of the...
One of life’s most awesome moments is when you take out your laundry from the dryer, and you feel your clothes, socks, and especially bed sheets all warm and toasty.
Even better, when you make your bed immediately after and crawls in a warm bed.

#114; Super nice waiters
Your restaurant experience betters exponentially if you have a super awesome waiter. Competent, fast, good at their job, and has a nice smile.
Yay for all the good waiters/waitresses you’ve had in the past!

#115; Losing your babyteeth
When kids loose their baby teeth, they are the cutest thing ever.
Wiggling their tooth loose until finally from either eating an apple or bumping into something, their tooth falls out.
When they smile, their mouth reveals countless teeth missing, gaps here and there, but it’s the cutest imperfection. It reminds you that they are kids, something we can never be again, and their innocence...

#116; Buying really comfortable shoes
When you enter a shoe store nowadays, you’re often surrounded by countless bedazzled high heels, fancy stilettos, delicate leather boots, all of which look extravagant but a total b!t3h to wear.
And I hate buying shoes that you can only wear for one occasion, so that being said, comfort is a huge factor to consider when I decide what shoes to buy.
So when you find that pair of super...

#117; When you show someone a song and they...
More often than liked, when we show one of our new favorite songs to a friend, their reaction is “meh…”, “heard better”, or “it’s alright…”
But when they actually like it a LOT, enough to download it, that makes you feel pretty neat.
Music is one of those things in life where one’s choice of music says a lot about the person, and when...

#119; Watching endless movie trailers
I love watching movie trailers, they’re such a tease, and so brief too so there’s not a lot of commitment involved.
They probably also hype up the movie and make it seem a lot better than it actually is, but hey, maybe that’s what makes them so fun to watch. Whatever it is, movie trailers are just awesome.

#121; Eating greasy food when you're hungover.
Hangovers are one of the worst experiences to go through, yet probably the one bad experience that we most frequently subject ourselves to.
Headache, nausea, diarrhea for some…
Just overall, not a great feeling. But hey, at least it gives you an excuse to chow down some good ol’ greasy food.
Cheesy bagles with butter or perhaps some bacon and hash browns yum.
When you feel that...

#123; When you're let out of class early.
This is always a plus, and regardless of whether you’re a keener or slacker, everyone loves getting out of class early.
It just somehow always manages to make your day.

Here’s one of those cliché sayings that you’ve heard of over and over again. Money can’t buy you happiness, can’t buy you love, affections can’t be brought and so on…
Well, it’s cliché because it’s true.
It really is amazing when you realize that sometimes your significant other’s presence is all you need to feel pure happiness emanating from...

#126; Portmanteau of couple's names
Portmanteau: linguistic combination of two words.
And it’s best used to refer to couples. You know what I’m talking about, whether it is referring to your favorite TV show couple…
Stephen + Elena = Stelena
Or your friends who’s been dating the longest.
It’s always cute, not to mention convenient to refer to a couple by their portmanteau names.
And the ideas...

#129; When professors give you random life lessons
It’s always interesting to hear your prof for whatever course, talk about something OTHER than than the course content, and it’s especially intriguing when they decide to give you a life lesson.
My cell bio prof the other day randomly decided to give us a life lesson at the beginning of the lecture, and basically, he was saying it doesn’t matter what our reason of being here at...

I know I know, we’re suppose to floss every day, but who actually does everything the dentist tells them to?! I know I’m guilty of not doing so. As much as I want to floss every day, sometimes life gets so busy that even brushing is a chore.
But when I do end up flossing, I feel pretty darn proud and know that my dentist would be very pleased with me right now.
Squeaky clean teeth...

#132; How beautiful days can make you feel giddy
There’s just something about a sunny day, bright skies, white fluffy clouds, warm wind that can somehow make otherwise an ordinary day that much better.
It’s a crazy winter we’ve been having this year, but s’all good if this means that summer comes earlier. :)

#133; Discovering shortcuts
Note: I’m not talking about shortcuts in life, because I think those are particularly stupid and if you’re going to strive towards an ambitious goal, then might as well make sure you deserve it, but then again you’re the one that’s going to have to live with your incompetency.
THAT BEING SAID,
Discovering geographic shortcuts is probably one of the most exciting things...

The snow has melted, the days are getting longer, it’s no longer freezing cold outside, you know what that means….
Spring has finally arrived!
Now, I’m not a big fan of spring with its muddiness, wetness, and general mild weather. But spring’s arrival means that summer’s not too far away!
Plus, it means you get to shed your heavy (most likely black) winter jacket...

#135; Hearing your own laughter
After a long day of studying by yourself, one of the best things to do is to just talk with a friend and laugh your heart out.
There’s something about hearing your own laughter, I guess in a way it reminds yourself what being happy and carefree felt like.

#138; Taking naps at the randomest places.
When you’re a university student studying some type of science (social science not included), chances are one of the most common phrases that you say is
“I’m so tired…”
And it’s true, lack of sleep due to late night partying, gaming, studying or loitering can put a toll on you, which is why naps are crucial if you want to survive through the day without having...

It’s that time of the year again.
Yep, campaigning for various council positions are already up and running. Facebook events, facebook messages, twitters, posters, just about any types of shameless advertising.
But what’s better than all those forms mentioned? When your friends geniunely support you and campaign for you where ever they go, when they’re not envious of your...

#141; Free shampoo stuff you get at hotels
One of the best things about staying at a hotel is that you get to use shampoo, conditioner, body wash, soap that you never do!
Depending on the hotel, it can be some exotic unheard stuff from Europe or the standard stuff from Pantene but I just love how they’re in tiny little bottles and 99% of the time, stuff you never used before.
Plus, who doesn’t like free stuff!

#142; Pitstops during a long bus ride
Sitting on the bus for 5 hours is definitely not the funnest thing to do. Depending on the bus, it can be vary in the degree of comfortableness but generally speaking, your neck gets cramped from sleeping too long, your bladder fills up from drinking too much coffee, and from the sound of your stomach, it isn’t too happy with you either.
All in all, a pit stop is much needed for a stretch...

#144; Being passionate about something
Sure, in life we like a lot of things, we like to watch TV, we like to eat certain food, we like politics, we like reading novels, the list can go on and on.
We all have our hobbies, but what do we care for so much that we have a burning passion for?
That is the question.
If we’re just passionate about ONE thing, whether it be on promoting art from local artists, or increasing the...

There’s nothing like lying in your bed before bedtime, reading over emails, checking Facebook updates, looking at things that you enjoy doing and best of all, relaxing.
It’s this wonderful yet brief time of the day that is most peaceful, calming and essential. It allows you to take a breath and collect your thoughts, think over what happened today, and what you’ve accomplished...

Siblings, can’t live with them, can’t live without them.
Most of the time, we get on eachother’s nerves, we get tired of seeing them on a daily basis and we take eachother for granted.
But it’s not always like this, there are those moments when siblings express their love for eachother, and remember that, at the end of the day, we will be by eachother’s side.

#149; Having ambitious friends
I’ve always believed that the people around you has a huge impact on who you are and how you will develop. I’ve learned first hand how detrimental surrounding yourself with unpleasant characters can be and just as so, how much you can change for the better when your friends are your sources of inspiration. I like to think of myself as a success-driven individual, and when you have...

Whether it’s at the library, in a class, on the bus, or plane. Getting the window seat is always such a win. Nothing like having a nice view of the world outside while encapsulated by walls.

I really hope I’m not the only person who does that or this post will be highly embarrassing.
But if you HAVE done it before then you know just how wonderful it can be for lazy people like us when we don’t have to bend down to pick up something we dropped, instead we can just do it with our handydandy toes!

Although the first week at work can be demanding and challenging, there’s one good thing about it.
Everything you do/learn is novel and exciting! That period of time when you didn’t have to repeat any task yet, when you’re learning how to use all the cool machines, instruments or gadgets. When everyone knows you’re new so they are more lenient towards your mistakes. After...

Sure, we all heard of people telling us to live our lives, go through each day as if it’s our last. In fact this message is so common and can be found just about anywhere! Fortune cookies, T.I. songs, you name it. It has become such a common knowledge that we are desensitized and no longer really think about what this phrase means.
But then, there are those precious moments when we truly...

Public facilities, especially bathrooms are usually affiliated with germs, dirtiness, unsanitary, and it certainly does not have the nicest smell.
But when you walk into a public bathroom and you’re greeted by a scent resembling lilies and citruses, it truly is a pleasant surprise.
When something smells better, all of a sudden it just seems a lot more cleaner, and instinctively the...

Now, you may be thinking, what kind of house host would let a guest do their dishes for them?!
And I admit, it is kind of impolite and unconventional, but still you got to admit, if a house guest does wash your dishes for you after a nice meal together, that pretty much puts them in the spot of the best house guest ever.
And if they’re happy with the title and you’re happy with the...
