Music! Whenever I feel down I listen to all of the music that I most love and it puts me in a great mood always. I'm not quite typical for how people like music. I feel like it's a very large part of my life. I like it because I feel very strongly that humans should listen to it! It evens us out, we like hearing things in a rhythm that is pleasurable to the ears. On a base level music with soothe the soul. I suggest broadening your horizons in this aspect. Animals! I love my dog more than anything in the world. She is an endless source of joy and will always be there for me I know, even in spirit when she is gone. Other than physically seeing my dog I love all sorts of animals and being involved with them brings me a huge sense of satisfaction with my life. Volunteering at an animal shelter is one of the best things you can do to make you happy. Exercise! Exercise is wonderful and always invigorates me and gives me a fresh feeling whenever I'm feeling down. A great way to really sweat out all of your bad feelings.

The negativity of other people should never affect how you live your life. Having a positive outlook on life is one of the many joys of being human.

This song has always helped me throughout my life. Try to have fun, whistle a little, go out with friends, cherish what you have, strive to achieve your goals, make the most of it! Cheers

It's very interesting that in most native cultures, it's such a strong part of their culture. It's as if we were meant to listen and create music.

I've taken up excersizing a bit recently, and I have noticed that it really does help.

    Having a positive outlook on life is one of the many joys of being human.
Amen.

I'll give this a listen when I can and I'll let you know what I think.

I also suggest learning how to cook! I recently started making my food for myself all the time. I'm a college student as well. It's really satisfying in many ways. Knowing that you're eating delicious food that you made yourself is great. Plus girls lovee guys that can cook!

Oh yes, I love cooking. With how much time I work unfortunately I don't always have that pleasure.
