Happyness

What makes all of us happy? Is it money, friends, shopping, sports? We all vary in what we find makes us truly happy. Personally, I am most happy when I am with my family. I think I can speak for many college students when I say going home is a great escape.

Being with my friends is also another way for me to find happiness. It is simple, always entertaining, and something I cherish more than they even know.

Aside from being with my family and friends, sports can not be forgotten from my list. The figurative say 'eat, breath, sleep sports', that is talking about me. It is my passion. I was always the kid that wanted to go outside and play catch for hours when others would rather play Nintendo  Obsession, love, passion what ever you may call it. I call it happiness. I'm not just a fan of sports, I follow all types of sports and activities from players to statistics. I am virtually a non bias sports fan because I like it all. From women's soccer to professional racquetball. It is one thing to be a fan and be happy or sad when a team loses, but I am happy when I know the background of a team or player and follow their journey in the sports world.

With these in mind, I have also attached a video link to my thoughts on pursuing what makes you happy as we all get older. In this stage of our lives, it is so hard to find definition meaning what we are supposed to do and become. It used to be a structured schedule of school, extracurricular activities then whatever your parents or guardians planned for you. Now, the struggle to balance this and finding ourselves, we must never forget what makes us most happy. I have been told constantly and people have flaunted their net worth by the cash in their wallets. Honestly, I wanted money. That is why I wanted to be in Finance to become an investment banker. It took me a while (i.e. maturity) to figure out in order to chase a dream, you must A) Want to do it B) Want to do it because it makes or will make you happy.
