My week

This week has been pretty relaxing for me. I have been keeping up with homework and going to the gym! YAY! I recently came upon a quote by George Bernard Shaw "Life Is not about finding yourself, its about creating yourself." I think that that saying is all something we should all live by. In life it's about creating someone your proud of. Whether for you that person is beautiful, smart, witty, or all of the above gotta fake it till you make it!

The Happiness Project-Day Two

So looking back, I realize I have never fully explained what the happiness project actually was. I'm going to do the best job that I can as I am still currently reading the book.

"A Happiness Project is an approach to changing your life. First is the preparation stage, when you identify what brings you joy, satisfaction, and engagement, and also what brings you guilt, anger, boredom, and remorse. Second is the making of resolutions, when you identify the concrete actions that will boost your happiness. Then comes the interesting part keeping you resolutions" --Gretchen Rubin

For me, the Happiness Project is about living my life and not just floating by. I want to live life to the fullest and make memories that will last me a lifetime. I'm making the resolution to always be grateful, always find something exciting to do, and when something asks me to tell something interesting about myself, I won't respond with "I hate chocolate cake." Although shocking to most, I don't want to be the girl that is remembered for disliking the fake taste that chocolate cake gives you.

So I want all of you to look inside yourselves and find something that makes you happy to do with your life, for me, its my school classes and hopefully soon yoga again, I want all of you to make this resolution with me. Because after all we all live on this Earth together and I'd like to be here with interesting people and not "chocolate cake haters."

New Life Goal?

Over the course of the past few months, and a few days of almost non-stop Pinterest, I have decided upon a new life goal, or Bucket List item if you may. Even though I can not bear the thought of walking more than a few miles, I want to, no I WILL run the Disney Princess Half Marathon at some point in my life. It gives me a good excuse to go to the gym more often ( a new years resolution I have yet to begin), and to go see parts of Disney world I have never seen before!

So this girl who hates running simply because she has no idea how to breath, has officially committed to the world that she will be out there running with Minnie and Mickey some day!

So wish me luck...and possibly give me an inhaler!

A Little Bit of Fun

SO you guys may not appreciate this video as I do, but I've grown to love all of these people, and of course all things Harry Potter.

Day One-The Happiness Project

Before I officially start this post, I would just like to congratulate myself on knowing how to spell happiness correctly! Sometimes I think a first grader can spell better than me...sigh. Well day one of the happiness project has started and that means its time for personal commandments to live by!

My Personal Commandments:
1. Find something to be grateful for everyday.
2. I will write everyday!
3. Laugh at myself.
4. Experience new things, no matter how scary they may be.

I'll add to this list slowly, but these are the things I have thought of today.
I hope you all have a beautiful rest of the day and I will talk to you tomorrow!

The Happiness Project

Today seemed like the perfect opportunity to start a blog. I recently watched a youtube video about The Happiness Project. Basically the Happiness Project is about living your life to the fullest and not just floating by. I have decided to partake in the Happiness Project, as a college student I get into my same ol same ol routine, and for me that is not something that I always dreamt of going to college and doing. I'll give weekly updates on how I am doing with the happiness project. And along side that just tell you all how life in general is going. I hope you all enjoy and I always enjoy feedback!
