I've just been thinking about this question today. Wondering if actors are happy with their lives. Because when you see them on interviews they seem so cheery and happy, but when you see them they are always getting bothered by people, annoyed, and I can see why. A lot of actors turn to drugs and OD, many famous actors have died this way. So I just question if they are really happy. Are any of them happy, maybe just a small percentage?

Then i was thinking about me. What makes me happy. I love playing sports and just doing things in life. But I also like video games, and then I just wonder why. Why do video games make me happy, because when I think about it, they shouldn't. I know they are fun, but am I really happy? It just seems like a big waste of time... I use so much money on video games just to keep me from being bored... I could be doing other things, but this is just one hobby that is so easy and time consuming. And I know it's good to have hobbies, but this one just seems like such a waste.

I will either grow out of video games when I start working a career, or not have enough time for them. So when I think about the future of myself with video games it doesn't seem good. Which kind of sucks. I like experiencing all these different stories and games, but in the future I will probably forget about so many of them.

And I turn to.. what will make me happy... in the future? The only thing I can think of is hopefully getting a good job that I will love. That way I can do something that is fun, and worth while...

So what makes you happy, is the thing that makes you happy worth it? I know many of you play video games. So what do you think about that in this sense?

Peace. Peace of all kinds; with family, with friends, with girlfriends and with the world. I think thats what happiness boils down to. While I do enjoy movies and games and such, I dont think they add to your overall 'happiness.'

If you're going to major in economics,

I recommend anything by Michael Lewis

I'd start off with The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine

you might also like The Road to Serfdom By F.A Hayek

Took economics last year :p

[QUOTE="imaps3fanboy"][QUOTE="lo_Pine"] I'm thinking of majoring in the same. You know its a special magazine when its over $100 subscription for 12 issues XD. Although it is a British magazine which could explain the price, but I doubt it. They charge that much cause the people they cater to can afford it.SaintWalrus

Will look into those. I'm studying this atm to get a basic overview

Music and friends for sure.

Socializing.

Playing video games with certain people (or simply playing Quake or Fortress Forever).

My wonderful friends.

Learning. I believe learning has intrinsic value, and I hope to learn something new each day of my life. I'm one of those rare few students, it seems like, that flippin' *loves* to learn.

^ Related to that, philosophy and deep literature.

Beautiful music. Especially classical. Playing this right now

Raves. And Mary Jane.

I suppose more than anything, the simple pleasures are what make me the most happy in life.

Seconded

Basketball, Video games, friends, sex.

Peace, working towards my ideals, and knowing that there is someone trustworthy who I can confide in.

Talking to my friends especially certain ones.

Well lately not a whole lot. I was actually feeling really depressed for a couple weeks in January because it was just one bad thing after another that was happening to me. Since just around the end of January, I've been interested in this really pretty girl who is in a couple of my classes and who I talk to almost everyday after school. Usually I would be hating school around a time like this for me, but this girl makes me really happy just to talk to her. Video games still make me happy (to a certain extent) but they are more of just entertainment. But this girl actually helped me get happier once February started.
