Learning Challenge: Happiness Jar (Part 2)



Happiness Jar

Two weeks ago, I decided to take up the happiness jar challenge. For this challenge I needed to write down at least one thing that made me happy that day, everyday. Now because we were on spring break, I decided to just do it for two weeks and report back. Initially I thought this challenge might be a chore, just because I am not one to journal or keep a diary. This challenge really wasn't hard to keep up with at all. I honestly didn't see a huge change in my outlook on life and I don't think I will be continuing with the challenge. However, I did feel just a little bit better about my day at the end of the day. On my not so great days, I was able to see just a small thing that made me happy which means it couldn't have been that bad of a day. That is what I think will stick with my now that I have concluded the experiment. I don't think I'll make it a habit to physically write things down but I think when I am feeling any negative energy towards the day I will remember this challenge.

I didn't physically keep a jar but I would suggest it to anybody who likes to keep a journal or be crafty from time to time.

I decided to study Advertising on a whim and didn't give much thought to it, I guess back then I just knew without really knowing.  Advertising is taught in  Gaylord Hall Going into Advertising has been one of the best decisions of my life. I get to interact with people all day while working toward a common goal. The great thing about Advertising is that it is usually held in such a fun environment. I am an Operations Director for Lindsey + Asp, the student-run agency on campus, and I couldn't think of a better environment to work in. People are creative, and a little weird and we get to come up with the grandest ideas that we actually implement in national campaigns.  Typically some of the qualities you find in someone in advertising can be seen as a weakness in other areas of work. A lot of us are ADHD, we talk...

Week 2 Story: Three Roses

Image
Three Roses There once was a caring mother with three daughters. The family was running low on supplies so the mother planned a trip to the market. Before she left the mother asked her daughters what they wanted from the market. The two eldest girls supplied a long list of wants. The youngest, however, just wanted three Roses. The family lived deep in the woods so the trip would take two days time. After collecting all the supplies that were needed the mother started to head back home. With such a heavy load, the mother needed a rest. It was getting dark and she could hear the animals coming out to search for food under the moon. She saw an old looking palace and decided to hurry there for refuge for the night. The mother had never seen this palace but it seemed extremely old. The only thing that was in good condition was the rose garden to the side of the palace. She had already bought her daughter the three roses but these were so much more beautiful. As soon as sh...
