1. Seeing your crush in person, and they don’t know they’re your crush

2. Your phone ringing in the middle of you cheating 

3. The top of the roller coaster right before the drop

4. Loud (IYKYK)

5. Walking up a few flights of steps when you’re out of shape 

6. Good sex. Really good, gasping for air, pillow biting sex.

7. Almost getting into a car accident or hitting a pedestrian

8. “Back That Azz Up” - Juvenile 

9. Sneezing 3 times in a row with no pauses in-between

10. Cops in the rear view mirror and you're the only one on the road
