Simple Pleasures

As the semester comes to a close, stress levels are high, sleep levels are low, and everyone's general demeanor can be most accurately described as "bleh." However, I've found that in these difficult days, you must hold onto little glimmers of happiness. These simple pleasures are what's keeping me going until the end of finals.
