7 Reasons Why Happiness Is Important
Brooke Schulzkump

Girls, listen up because things are about to get real. You know all those things that you stress about daily, or the toxic people in your life? Get them out of your life. You don't need that in your life. I guarantee there are so many other people in the world who deserve your effort and will actually give it in return. Your happiness is more important that trying to keep people in your life who don't belong there. I go through this struggle everyday, there is nothing better than being in a good place. Which may or may not be with people that you truly care about.

7. The person you're trying to make happy doesn't care about your happiness.

This is the most common answer, no matter how hard you may try to make the effort they won't worry about you. Why should you be giving someone the time of day who you don't need in your life?

6. There is nothing you can do to fix them.

They need to work through their own problems before you can become a relevant part of their life. You can't "fix" people unless they want to be fixed.

5. You > Everyone else.

This one is self-explanatory. You are number one, everyone else is under you.

4. Forget about stressful things.

There are multiple things in life that stress people out, one thing to start worrying about your happiness is to get rid of them. Or try to get rid of as much as your can. There isn't much you can do about some stressful things, like class, but the ones you can, drop them.

3. The world needs more happy people.

There are way to many debbie-downers in this world, so be happy. Happiness makes everything better. So therefore, don't be mad, get glad.

2. Happy people are healthier.

Research shows a direct correlation between health and happiness. What more do you need for a reason to be happy?

1. Nothing is going to be bad forever.

If there is nothing else to hope for in being happy, know that things get better. Whether you are suffering through a loss, breakup, or a disease things always get better.

Happiness is crazy important in life. There is nothing you can't have if you are happy. There are times when you are in a slouch or a dark place, but you need to pick your head up and keep moving toward the brighter days. Whenever I am down, I look to the Bible, there are so many inspirational verses in their to keep your head afloat among the midst of stress, doubt, and fear.

"I loved you at your darkest." Romans 5:8

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun.
