What Makes YOU Happy?

Interesting thought....  What makes YOU happy?  Does it involve a certain someone? Or a song on the radio?  Or maybe seeing your favorite flower while driving to school?
I have an amazing friend.  He's one of the smartest guys I've ever known.  And from my point-of-view, he has a pretty awesome life (mainly because I'm his friend... What else could he ask for?)
But he complains about everything.  Very few things in this world make him happy.  I find this odd.  We all have our days when everything is just gray.  And sometimes that grayness seems to last much too long.  But at some point we pick ourselves up and find something to be happy about.  He can't do that.
He will sit down next to me in class with a sigh and we talk about our day.  And our days don't differ much from the other.  And yet, I'm happy and smiling.  He stares at me thinking I've lost my mind.  And maybe I have.  At least I like the world I've created and live happily ever after in.
For example: The sun is out and it's a nice, beautiful, warm day. He says it's too hot.
The darkest clouds you've ever seen and pouring rain beats on the roof.   He's freezing and frustrated that my car is parked 4 minutes away from campus and we're going to have to make a run for it.
He gets a 70% on a test.  I'm proud of him because we both know he didn't study until the last minute.  He wanted a higher score.
Germs.  He sees them everywhere and doesn't understand why we need them (yes, he's a germaphobe).  I say they're germs.  Get over it and move on with life.
It just amazes me how we live on the same planet and see the same things but to him most things to are gray and sad.  I have a moment of grayness and then find something to make me happy.
And yes, maybe some random guy opened a door for me.  Maybe I'll skip down the hall because of it and get a million odd glances.  Who cares?  It makes me happy when boys are gentlemen.  And when I'm happy I skip and giggle and act a little weird.
I'll be honest.  He's my next project in life.  And so far, so good.  I actually found a few things in this life that make him happy!  Brownies are one of them.
And I'm good at making brownies.

Can you believe it's October?  I know I can't.  Halloween is just around the corner, midterms are done (well, k, I have one more test but it'll be easy) and before we know it December will be here!!! YAY!!! Know why that's such a big deal? My 2 best friends in the whole wide world be coming home from playing in the whole wide world!  Jess will be coming home from Russia and Kaylee will come from Hawaii and we're gonna move in together!  This is happy news! I love those silly girls and it will be nice to have them back here again.
The other day my history teacher was in the best mood and decided to tell us a little more about how he feels about BYU.  Now I mean no harm here to my friends but lets just say I couldn't stop laughing!  And if you're ever walking around BYU campus and hear Highway From Hell blasting and see a redneck driving a red Firebird feel free to "hide in [your] darn celestial corners" Oh man, I love that man and his stories.  Makes going to college a little bit easier every day! ;)
Well anyway.  Here are my options for the rest of the day :
1. Go to class and sleep for a while
or
2. Go wash my windows thanks to my cousins who decided to lick every inch of my car last night....
Such a hard choice to make.

Hope you all have a fantastic week getting ready for the best holiday ever.......

And don't forget to smile!
