What makes people happy? For some, it might be seeing something that makes them smile from ear to ear, or eating something yummy, satisfying their tummies. For me, there are lots of things that make me happy. A lot more things make me happy than sad or angry, which is why I seem like such an optimistic person.
One thing that makes me happy is being with my friends. Going on exciting adventures, hanging out and studying, and having heart to hearts late at night are some things that I like to do with them. Whenever I feel down, I can always count on them to say or do something funny to make me laugh and forget why I was feeling the way I was before. We always have something to laugh about, even if it happened months ago. I know I can always do my own thing around them because they won’t judge me and we joke around. I tell lame jokes and corny pickup lines, but that’s how I roll, like a ball! Even though sometimes we don’t get along and we argue and have our fights, we get over them, and that’s what makes us stronger. They really do make my day, and that’s one of the reasons why I’m always so happy sometimes, because my friends are just that awesome.
Another thing that makes me happy is swimming and being active, not just sitting at home watching tv. Swimming is a sport that requires both mental and physical strength. Same as any other sport, but what’s different from swimming and any other sport is that swimming requires you to compete individually as well as with the team, and you have to get into a pool, in order to compete. It also is a good activity to participate in, because it helps you keep fit and also makes you feel a lot better if you’re feeling not yourself. If I sit around my house all day, not doing anything I get tired and its boring, so why not go outside where the weather is nice and do something fun! Sometime after a big test, I feel like working out or going to swim, and when I do, I usually feel a lot better, like all the stress is gone!
