The feeling of completion that comes from finishing your first semester of college life. After a few nights thinking "How am I ever going to manage this?", knowing that you've got at least a few As heading for you and knowing that even if you bomb Psych, you still did your best and couldn't possibly have tried harder. It's a good feeling to know that you tried your hardest, even if you don't succeed because it means so much more to you than success with minimal effort.
I also assign small smiles. Not spontaneous ones, though they too are welcome, but the small, hesitating smiles that come from glimpsing something that truly makes you happy. Those smiles are what make me grin.
