Find Your Happy Place.

Vacation. One entire month off. No school. No work. No book. Is this real? Needless to say I am stoked about winter break! I am looking forward to spending some good old quality time with my mom and then of course my 2 best friends: Nicole and Jen! YAY!

So right now I am breaking a sweat studying for finals. Yes, you can actually do that. It’s your mind rejecting all the information you are trying to cram in there.

In between my study time I watched the most adorable video on hulu.com! Seriously, it took me out of my horrible “I hate teachers, school and learning” mode and brought me into “Christmas ROCKS” mode! So click on this link and get ready to absorb the Christmas spirit!

All those out there who are extremely overwhelmed with things, like myself, I have a few helpful tips for you. Due to unfortunate issues, my mood hasn’t been the most gracious one, but today something changed.

Just a few hours ago, I went to the boy’s basketball game at my school. Basketball has been my outlet for years, but I had lost touch with it this past year. Going to the games gives me this overwhelming feeling of happiness. I just love the game.

I challenge you to find something that you have a passion for. It is important to have something to go to that will make you feel better, because, everyone deserves to be happy. Of course you can’t be happy all the time, but when you start to see that grey cloud hovering over you for quite sometime, go to your happy place.

Also I think it is imperative that you have more than one thing to go to when you are down. Sometimes people can’t be reliable so don’t just pick people. Of course I have gone to my friends to pick me up, but nothing quite did it like basketball.

I am really excited to hear about your own personal happy places. So please share! Who knows you might have a good idea for me or other people out there.

I hope you guys have a fabulous holiday, but don’t worry we will talk more before then!
