    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.
  • audrey.jpg
    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.
     
    34. Birthdays: yours, your mom’s, your BFF’s. They’re all a total blast.

    47. Jumping in puddles. Don't forget the rain boots!
     
    48. Re-watching the movies you loved when you were little.

    77. Taco Tuesday. Whether it’s a school-lunch version, cooked at home or at a restaurant, no other meal tastes quite as good.
     
    78. Spending a day with just your mom. Whether you shop together or hit the museums, it’s always good to get some QT in.
     
    >> 79. Getting a big furry hug from your dog when you walk in the door.

    86. Ordering a double scoop of ice cream. Go big or go home.
     
    87. Redoing your room. It may not happen often. But slapping up a new coat of paint or a fresh poster or two makes ya feel like a new gal.
     
    88. Anything vampire. TV shows, books or movies: we’re still hooked.

    93. That moment when you know you two are going to kiss.
     
    94. How silky ‘n’ soft your locks feel after a haircut.
     
    >> 95. Cupcakes…somehow, they just taste better than regular cake.
     
    96. Blasting Taylor Swift’s “Our Song” (or whichever you heart) and pretending it perfectly describes your life.
     
    97. Finding $20 in the pocket of your winter coat. Score!
     
    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!
