VIEW THUMBNAILS

1. Getting ready for dances with your besties. It’s almost as much fun as being there.

2. Getting your braces off and flashing those new pearly whites to the world.

>> 3. Wacky ice cream flavors, like strawberry basil.

4. Making a friend on vacation and becoming pen pals. Hello, mail.

6. Singing the wrong words to that new song on the radio—we like our lyrics better anyway.

7. Smiling at a cutie and having him smile right back.

8. Finding the perfect gift for someone else. It’s just as fun as getting a prezzie yourself.

9. Watching the snow fall, and then curling up inside with hot cocoa and a really good book.

10. Walking down the hall to class and spontaneously busting out your fave dance move.
11. The first day back to school after summer break. Yeah, you moan and groan about it, but seeing everyone again is the best.

13. Seeing that magical word above a cute top: Sale!

14. Going out after a movie and just splitting fries with your BFF. Jinx.

>> 23. Getting a good (and applicable) fortune from a fortune cookie.

24. Finding out you got an A on a crazy-hard test.

25. Embracing time spent with your crush. Yes, even the awkward moments.

26. Mixing polka dots with stripes—it totally works if you work it.

27. Watching Wizards of Waverly Place because Justin is sooo good lookin’.

28. Finally perfecting that French braid or applying liquid eyeliner á la Taylor.

29. Playing dress up. Who cares if you've got nowhere fancy to go?

30. When your best friend listens to you ramble on about how cute your crush looks today.
31. Crazy rain storms in the summer…they’re wild to watch and totally cool ya off.

32. Studying really hard and then acing the exam.

33. Practicing model poses in the mirror—hey, it could happen.

77. Taco Tuesday. Whether it’s a school-lunch version, cooked at home or at a restaurant, no other meal tastes quite as good.

98. Having the best dream and remembering it when you wake up.

99. When that thing finally clicks. Whether it's the song you've been trying to play on your trumpet or a tricky dodge in field hockey, yay for practice making perfect.

100. Being a girl. Sure, periods are annoying, boys can be totally lame and, ugh, frenemies. But it’s also as fun as it gets. Live it up!
