Where To Find Happiness
designgrapher.com

Currently, I'm writing this article while eating a sandwich because I got hungry. It's important to eat well so that your body can stay healthy. However, your body is not the only thing you should take care of. Your soul needs healthy food, too. I believe that the best thing you could feed your soul with is happiness.

Whenever you're hungry, you can go to the fridge, order Chinese food or go to the cafeteria. But what should you do if your soul is hungry? There's no fridge to go get some happiness from and there's no store that sells happiness. Where do we all find happiness?

Everyone goes through difficult times in his or her life. I'm sure you have, too. It could be big like losing your family member or small like getting orange juice when you order apple juice.

When your soul is hungry for happiness, you have to remember that you will not find happiness outside of you. Sure, someone could buy you pizza and that could make you happy. But that wasn't the pizza that made you happy, it was you who chose to be happy. You chose to find happiness in it, nice job! You can do the same thing if you get something you don't like, too!

When something bad happens to you, you "automatically" get angry or sad. But in the reality, you really don't have to. You might have no control over what is going to happen to you but you can control how you will react to it. Someone could try to offend you and be mean to you, but you don't have to get bothered. You don't have to let that person bring you down. That ability to choose happiness is something that no one can take away from you.

So the answer to "Where do I find happiness?" would be "Everywhere." It's there, it's here, it's literally everywhere.

Like someone said, life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain.

So be open-minded! Be curious! Get your sass on! Do your thing, and don't care what people think of you. And always remember that happiness is a choice.

I have to go wash my dishes now because I just finished my sandwich. But instead of getting angry because I can't take a nap now, I'm going to choose to be happy because the kitchen will be cleaner. And just like that, I just fed my soul with happiness. Pretty simple, right?

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.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
