  3. Access to coffee

Today’s great thing:

My Italian professor making a highly inappropriate but completely hilarious joke at the end of class: ”Ci avremo figli dopo esserci spogliati.” (We were learning proper use of primo and dopo.)

Making Happiness Yours: A TEDx Talk

I will start doing this here tomorrow :)

This book. It encouraged me to start taking note of what makes me happy, what makes me unhappy, and what I can do to make happiness part of my everyday job.
The author started a blog to write about her goals, tips and progress. That is what I hope for here.
This is a tiny bit narcissistic. But hopefully you, my readers and (hopefully) followers, will give me the courage to keep pushing through until a smile comes naturally and for no apparent reason.

// Hello :)//

Welcome to my happy blog! Let me explain what I have in store:

I wanted to use this year to make myself my own project. For the past 2 years, I’ve been cross, tired, complaining, sad, and self-loathing. And quite frankly, I’m sick of it! I’m about to graduate and embark on an adventure called the rest of my life. I’d never been this way before college; why start now at the most exciting point in my life? I need to own my life now before it actually gets tough. How? Well, I believe the key is happiness, and that through my actions I can generate my own happiness.

So in January, I started eating healthy, getting more sleep, being a better daughter, sister, friend and girlfriend. These and more are the promises I’ve been making to myself but never keeping. They are the actions that I hope will not only bring back the old me, but an improved one. A girl who’s optimistic, kind, forgiving, confident, and knows her own worth. One who can set goals and reach them.

By fixing my internal issues, I hope to be more capable of taking life on and making it my own :)

Thanks for joining me on this journey!
