joy in the little things | volume one

Mar. 03, 2026 / All Things Fun

hey, my lovely friends! it’s a week into spring semester, and I was thinking about all the fun times I’ve had already this year. when I came back from Christmas break, I was somewhat dreading winter term (my college does a fall and spring semester, with a shorter winter term in between). Winter is always my least favorite time of year, and over half of campus was gone on mission and cross-cultural trips. however, those seven weeks were full of wonderful adventures and great memories. I thought it would be fun to share those in a happy list (pearl does these fairly often and they’re so much fun to read!)

  • new semester, new classes
  • a professor handing out playdough on the first day of class
  • seeing the Northern Lights
  • watching the live action Snow White with friends
  • late night tea and chats with mandy
  • going to church and then Starbucks and Target afterwards
  • doing a deep study in one of my favorite books of the Bible
  • volunteering at the local Christian school
  • getting packages in the mail
  • pictures from my nieces and nephews <3
  • calling a friend on Sunday afternoon
  • warmer weather and sunshine
  • sitting outside to study
  • chorale practices
  • playing piano
  • walking around the mall with friends
  • browsing Barnes and Noble
  • working out and trying gym challenges with a friend!
  • going on a mission trip over winter break
  • warmer weather in North Carolina
  • getting to work outside for a week
  • writing a paper in an hour (I don’t think I’ll ever top that XD)
  • game nights with friends after working all day
  • singing Disney songs with friends while we sanded drywall
  • seeing flowers blooming for the first time in forever!
  • going to Walmart with friends and seeing other friends there!
  • getting new mascara
  • writing letters to church family

let’s chat!

what were some highlights of your January/February? have you had warmer weather or is it still cold?
