One time, I was studying for a final that was pretty stressful. My boyfriend came up behind me to give me a hug and when he did, a piece of cake he was holding rolled off the plate straight onto my laptop keyboard. It was perfect. The plopping sound it made, the splatter pattern. It really was the perfect cake drop. He seemed a little shocked; my friend and I just started laughing. Then we all sprang into action to clean it up with damp paper towels. When I told the story to someone else later, she couldn't believe that I wasn't more upset. But really? What was there to be upset about? Nothing was broken, the keyboard wasn't even sticky. It was just a funny situation. It took away the stress of studying for a hard final and reminded me to laugh. My only regret is that we didn't get a picture of it.
That's one thing that I've learned. There isn't a whole lot of point to getting upset over little things. Falling in a giant snow pile. Cake falling on a laptop. These really aren't huge life problems and aren't worth getting upset or stressed about. Life is still good and fun, especially with the little crazy things that happen.
