How hard is to just be happy? So now that the growth of money is growing and we love money are we happier? Although there is an increase in the financial status of the newer generations, were no happier than those before us. The study of depression and anxiety go hand and hand. Although they are opposites of one another research has concluded that they both fall along the lines of our conscious emotions. Studies have shown those who live every day without planned actions are happier than those who plan every future event before its time.

However, what can we do to be happy? It solely lies in the genetic and biological make-up of the person being affected. There is a way to be significantly happier than you are. Not setting goals in stone. Yes, it's ok to know what you want to do, but pressuring yourself to do things at a set time makes it no better on your end. Keeping all objectives in the present creates a notable difference in your happiness. Doing things for someone other than yourself can benefit your joy. Volunteer work, for example, can bring happiness, because knowing that you’ve helped someone else gives you a feeling of fulfillment. Not doing the same thing all the time also plays a major part in your happiness status. Being able to predict every day as If you’re reliving the same day over and over isn’t the ideal situation. Imagine happiness as a state in which you’re filled with joy. It’s like getting a month long paid vacation time from work. That’s how you should think of happiness. Not something you must do to get the full fulfillment of being “Happy”.

The way you look at life also determines your happiness’. The difference between optimistic people and pessimistic people. Of course, we know Optimistic; hopeful and confident about the future, and Pessimistic; tending to see the worst of things or believing the worse will happen. Also, to be happy, you should practice not associating happiness with your goals. This is because when your goals are not met your happiness projects this emotion. People who focus on conquering a goal that they’ve created for themselves are not as happy as those who don’t. Just go with the flow, and do as you please always!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
