Happiness-how to find a little in everyday

[walkec]

Hi everyone.
With the school year starting to pick up pace now, I'm starting to see more and more of my friends stress out over little things that seem so large now, but are so minute in comparison to our lives. So o thought I should start a thread. Because after all, there are undoubtedly users on AN out there feeling the same way.

So you're probably thinking, what would some random year 11 know about happiness? Well I like to think of myself as an optimist. I have been lucky enough to have some wonderful things happen in the past year or so that have shaped me greatly and have made me appreciate the little things in life a whole lot more. So the aim of this thread is me giving advice to you on how to see little positives in each day. If anyone has any other strategies they use, uplifting quotes etc, feel free to comment these.

I hope to comment at least daily on this thread.

So day 1: a smile is the key to happiness.

So smile away, it's the best thing you can do, it could just make someone's day. Or even your own!

You're not in Year 12. You know a lot about happiness.

I get through each day by noticing everything that I find amusing. If you try hard enough, you can make a bad pun out of everything everyone says!

Whaaaat?

Year 12 was the happiest year of my schooling, I had the most fun and had the best memories!

:O

Me too. It honestly doesn't have to be a nightmarish trial to do it right. It's the last time you and all your friends will be collected together on a daily basis like that. You're missing out on a lot of the (i'd say more deep) stresses to come. Enjoy the ride while you can.

supposedly 'lame' jokes are like the funniest.

eg:
What do you call an alligator in a vest?

An Investigator.


How many tickles does it take to tickle a squid?

TenTickles.

Why can't you hear a pterodactyl go to the bathroom?

Because the p is silent.


Some bacon, eggs and toast walk into a bar.

The bartender says "Sorry, we don't serve breakfast."

Were going off a tangent aren't we. Using the linear approximation formula with change in x being puns we get a very off topic conversation.   (This is what studying extra maths while overseas on holidays does to you  )

[heart]

On a serious note though to truly be happy you must do what you love. Don't let others cage you in as then you have truly forsaken happiness.

Wow, I didn't know that was such a divisive issue... something something multiply, I've got nothing.

Guys, make a puns thread in the forum games area if you want to do that -_-
