Things for Happiness: Weeks 4 & 5

This "Things for Happiness" post is super-sized, mostly because the past two weeks have been so hectic for me that I've barely had time to sleep or get groceries, much less write a blog entry... But now that things have calmed down and the sorority insanity is over, I can finally give y'all the things that have been making me happy these past two weeks! I have combined them into this one giant post, so instead of the usual five things, today I'll be mentioning ten. :)

Without further ado, here are the ten things that have been making me happy the past two weeks:

1.) My "crew" (or at least 80% of it). Honestly, these are the most wonderful friends I have ever had in my life. I never thought that I could have such an amazing group of people by my side through good and bad, and I know that these are the people that are going to be in my life forever, regardless of where I live, what stage of life I'm at, or how busy I get.

2.) My beautiful "little" and best friend - Kylie. This beautiful girl has been through hell and back with me in the past two weeks as we experienced our first-ever work week and formal recruitment experience. She and I trekked back and forth from Greek Row all two weeks, and bonded over our mutual annoyance of the long hours and the constant singing and clapping. I don't think there's a better person on this planet I could have chosen to spend the last two weeks with.

3 & 4.) Lambda Rho and our new Pledge Class 2013! After a LONG two weeks of stress, little sleep, and stupid rumors, all of our hard work finally came to fruition when we welcomed our "baby pandas" in the pledge class of 2013. Honestly, it was all worth it. These girls are not only beautiful, they are also sweet as sugar, incredibly funny, and intelligent, and I absolutely know that they will be a wonderful addition to our great chapter.

5.) Coffee. It has been my lifeblood these past two weeks. I don't know how I would have gotten anything done (or stayed alive) without it.

6.) This beautiful Margo & Sebastian maxi dress. I finally had the chance to wear it to Kylie's birthday dinner the other night, and I absolutely love it! Wearing it makes me feel so lovely.

7.) Kashi Banana Chocolate Chip Chewy Bars. These things have been what has kept me going through recruitment and work week. In between endless events, we'd have ten minute breaks, which were just long enough for me to scarf one of these down and not pass out.

8.) This sunglasses case. I am notorious for losing, scratching, and breaking my sunglasses (and I love sunglasses, so it's a pretty big problem). I finally have a case to put them in so that doesn't happen though, and I could not be more pumped!

9.) Layered necklaces. I guess that's trendy now, but I love it. I used to layer TONS of necklaces back in my middle school years, but now I love the way that simple, dainty little trinkets look around my neck.

10.) Bed. Okay, no really though. After two weeks of sleep that could barely pass as sleep, my bed and I have been becoming reacquainted and it feels so good! Too bad school starts up again soon...

What's making y'all happy this week?
