Sweet Tooth Day

It is frequently said that the small things in life make it the most enjoyable. As I go through my first semester of college, I am coming to this exact realization. Between a full class schedule, a full workload, and adjusting to this new lifestyle, I am finding it hard to find time to enjoy life. It is the little things now that keep many students, including myself, going. So when I opened the student newspaper, the Argo, last week and discovered an advertisement for “Sweet Tooth Day,” my day was made. It was precisely 1:58 in the afternoon when I came upon this piece of information, and I happened to be sitting across from where it was being set up in the Campus Center for 2 o’clock. As my friend and I walked across the room, our eyes gazed upon such a beautiful sight: a candy cart. The popularity of this Stockton sponsored cart quickly grew into the form of a long line of sweet-toothed students. As my friend and I had our turn at the cart, I knew it was going to be a good day after all. There were choices of rock candy, nerds, jolly ranchers, skittles, sweet tarts, and many others. That day was a stressful day, but I was able to forget about the stress for a blissful few minutes filled with sugar. This small event had made a big difference in my day, and the days of those who joined me. Small Stockton events like this make a huge difference in the students’ lives, and they are important reminders of the little things in life that make it enjoyable.
