My friend introduced me to the "100 Happy Days" challenge.
Our lives have revolved around schedules, the next deadline and often we forget to take a moment and breathe. There seems to be less and less time to enjoy life and appreciate the moments that help get us through the day. According to 100happydays.com 71% of the people who attempt this challenge are not able to complete it, failing because of the lack of time. Well, I'm an architecture student. I'm here to say that despite the fact that I lack sleep, and sometimes resemble a walking zombie without my caffeine, that it is still possible to find the little things that make us smile.
Enjoy the first quarter of my 100 happy days :)

I am glad that you can complete quarter of the 100 Happy Days Challenge. This may attribute to you being in architecture program which trains you to meet schedules and deadlines before entering the real world. Keep it up and have a very effective time management process.
