I find that the best moments of my day are the unplanned, little moments that make me laugh. Even if I have had a long, rough day a stupid remark from a friend makes everything better. Most of these moments arise from someone saying something completely ridiculous. A good way to get people to make these comments is with the game Catchphrase. In trying to describe words people get very creative. In an effort to guess the words some very random ideas emerge as well. People just shout out what comes to mind before they think about it. One of my friends the other day gave the clue for avocado as what guacamole is made out of. My other friend actually shouted out guacamoles (he's one of the guys in the picture)! Right away he realized how ridiculous his suggestion was but it was already out there. It was the funniest moment of the night. Sometimes these moments consist of a nice thought. A friend calling me out of the blue just to see what's new or to say hi. One thing that always improves my day is an unexpected good grade on homework or an exam! Anyways, I have learned to appreciate these small moments more now that I'm away at school. My friends and I don't have much ability to get around and go out so we occasionally have to be creative with our entertainment. Those are the moments we remember and that really make a difference in our daily life.

I completely agree. Most of the greatest moments in our lives are the completely random ones that we don't expect. While i was typing this, my roommate managed to get his finger stuck in an IBC root beet bottle. Totally random and hilarious.
