24 Things That Help You Feel Happier In Life (Part 1)

We grow up and realize that life is not easy. The pressures, daily worries, then the failures, frustrations and expectations of other people weighed heavily on our shoulders. How many times did you wake up and wondered: "What the hell am I doing with my life?". How many times have you ended a long day and felt empty, unhappy and sad? Then just simply sit down and read these 24 tips to help you feel better.

Constantly learning every day.

Reading, listening, cultivating and understanding will help you get more perspective of life. At the same time, it helps you stay away from your own troubles. You don't have to read a book every day but try to learn from your own mistakes and from people around you. Learn from your family and parents, too. There are many things to learn every day that you have never noticed!

Spend time with people you love.

No matter how busy you are, don't forget to spend a part of your day meeting and chatting with people who mean something to you: your parents, friends or even your pet. And remember, don't you ever forget your family! Every relationship in this world is a test, only family is forever

Enjoy small things.

The tragedy of this age is that everyone is chasing after great values, flashy and expensive things that they sometimes forget: happiness is made up from the simplest, closest things. A peaceful morning with your favorite song, a tight hug for your dearest one or just a 15-minute strolling in a park near your house and breathing in the fresh air. Now do you really know how to enjoy life yet?

Learn to step into each other's shoes.

Troubles and worries can make you sometimes become mean and selfish with people around you. Remember that everyone has their own problems, they don't say it doesn't mean that they're fine. So why can people put away their troubles to treat you well, but you can't do the same thing to them. Try to step into the opponent's shoes, feel what they are feeling and open your heart. If you keep on being selfish, don't blame that later, suddenly you look back, there is no one standing beside you.

Treat people well.

Ok, I understand that nobody can be friendly for the whole life. And I have no intention of asking you to turn into a Blue Fairy - someone who can smile and understand everything no matter how terrible the opponent is. You have the right to be angry, the right to annoy, but in the end, don't behave like the way people did to you. They are mean to you doesn't mean that you have to be the same! Be nicer than them! Just do that, meaning you are much better than the others.

More adventures!

Have you seen anyone who is shy and become successful? Definitely no. Do you want to live a failed life full of regrets? Probably not. Then you know what you need to do!

Create something new every day.

Live is constantly creative. Writing books, practicing music, cooking - whatever! As long as you can make new things and make yourself useful. Those things that seem to be meaningless, one day will be gathered and then created great things that you will never expect.

Release yourself from the past.

Look back on what happened to learn and get lessons for yourself is a good thing. Just don't immerse in the past. Usually there will be 2 cases: 1 is that you will fall asleep in the victory, or 2 will regret and torment forever

Remember: Money is not the point!

Agree that money is a very important part in life, and it will be hard to live comfortably and happily when you live but only have ten dollars in your pocket. But don't let money become an obstacle, preventing you from achieving to your dreams. Focus on cultivating yourself and trying non-stop. That is when you know you're truly successful

In fact, there is no way to avoid injuries, pains, and failures during our growing-up. But to know how to improve yourself, try your best, and then you will see how much easier life can be.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads.
