12 Quotes For When You're Seeking Happiness

While doing my daily scroll through Pinterest I came across a quote, the first quote on this list, and for some reason it stayed with me throughout the day. A little while later, my mom sent me another affirmation on happiness.

Since both inspired me, I decided to round of up a list of quotes on the subject. We could all use a little extra dose of happiness from time to time, especially with finals coming up. Stress, anxiety, and worry sometimes take over when we have a lot going on with school and work. So if you find yourself needing a little extra happiness, here are 15 quotes on happiness.

1. "To fall in love with yourself is the first secret to happiness." -Robert Morley

Love yourself!


2. When you can't find the sunshine... be the sunshine.

When life gives you lemons... you make lemonade!

3. It's the little things in life.

Remember to put down the phone, and enjoy a cup of coffee while spending some time appreciating the company you have present and the world around you.


4. "Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier." -Mother Teresa

Happiness is infectious. Pass it on to everyone you meet. Not only will you make their day better, you'll make yours better too!

5. Being happy is a very personal thing, and it really has nothing to do with anyone else.

Your happiness is your own. No one can take it away from you.

6. Don't be afraid of new beginnings, from new people, new energy, new surroundings, new challenges. Embrace new chances of happiness.

Happiness can come from unexpected places. Seize every opportunity that comes your way. They may not all be for you, but the important thing is that you learned something about yourself.

7. Today I choose joy.

Choose joy a little more often!

8. "The key to being happy is knowing you have the power to choose what to accept and what to let go." -Dodinsky

If it doesn't make you happy, it has no place in your life.

9. The best part about life? Every morning you have a new opportunity to become a happier version of yourself.

Wake up! It's a brand new day!

10. "Happy girls are the prettiest girls." -Audrey Hepburn

Smile more. Laugh more. Live more.

11. Always find time for the things that make you feel happy to be alive.

What makes you happy? Dance? Music? Sports? Reading?

12. "Happiness is not a checklist. A dream job, a fast car, a good home, even love, mean nothing at all if you have not yet found a way to feel full and content in your own mind and heart." -Beau Taplin

Your happiness doesn't depend on another person, or their idea of happiness. What does being happy mean to you?

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
