Most of us here on Newschoolers are very priviledged people, spending a lot of our precious time with an expensive sport that is considered a luxury in many places of our world. Still, many of us go through bad shit in any case, but put into perspective we are still very, very priviledged. Even so, we don't need to carry a burden of guilt just because of our priviledges and we too can be genuinely happy.

In this thread, you can tell us what you are happy about in your lives and share the happiness with us.

I'm finishing up my degree in International Business, I'm currently interning in International Relations of Helsinki and just confirmed that I can continue here after my internship. I finally got a thesis subject that I'm actually very interested in and it is very unique. I was asked to become the vocalist in my friend's band and it's working out really well and finally, the sun is shining brightly and the thick ice covering the Baltic Sea before seems to be boiling in its bask.

At this moment, I am very happy and satisfied with my life. How about you?
 
Although I broke both of my ankles... My parents had insurance and helped put me through 3 years of school... I'm very lucky.
 
I brought home 412$ in my last paycheck working 56 hours. I can cover rent and most of utilities from half a months work. That means I'll have ~400 dollars to spend on gas/food/luxuries. About 60$ of that will go to car insurance (I've never been pulled over).

I'm grateful for my friends, and my family. Surrounding yourself with those that love you is good.
 
i'm sick, mah throat hurts. i am going skiing saturday though which is cool cause i thought my season was over. plus my new boots will be with me!
 
I'm skiing just about alll day this week! and just got accepted as an intern photographer for a local newspaper
 
in the past week i landed rodeos and broke a painfully long dry spell, now i have a week off of skiing. also, she "doesn't like condoms"
 
I'm living the dream. I have the fortune of going through life with a very positive attitude, not that anything really goes wrong anyways, but I'm the happiest person I know. Also coming up on graduation, and jobs I'm interested in are starting to pop up around me! Also, graduation means party and party means good times with friends and family....and party.

and i forgot to mention, baseball is in the air and though i'm excited for the Tigers, I'm just excited for baseball in general. this summer ki plan on checking a few more major league ballparks off the list
 
I'm on a bomb ass internship makin bank right now. sure i don't get to ski as much as I'd like, but it's a step to the professional world, a place I'll hopefully be for the next 30 odd years. (yes I want to retire when I'm 50).

I have less than a year till I'm 21. My parents fully support where I'm going in life, and even though they disagree on some of my life choices, they will always be a part of my life.

I've got food on the table, rent covered for the next couple of months, and I'll have enough for a new setup at the beginning of next year.

some people broke into my car last week, and stole my bag which contained eye trip, but I was able to find the movie on the sidewalk a couple houses down, along with the books, and notebooks that were in my bag.

Shit life is just grand right now.
 
right now everything is going my way and has been for some time now. I am an all-state swimmer, i'm going to college next year (possibly swimming), and I can do things that I really suck at but they make me happy, like skiing and biking. Sometimes I feel happier than Andreas Hatviet.
 
I think I will be asking out a girl soon and (cross your fingers) she will say yes. And she skis which makes her infinitely better.

But damn does my throat hurt. Not stoked on that.

Oh, and IM GOING TO COC. Extremely stoked on that
 
Next week I'm going to LA for the week including 2 days in Mammoth and I get to hang with my friends. Pretty pleased with that.
And yesterday I got a Groupon deal for a night at the Stanley Hotel (The shining) for $89 complete with ghost tour. I'm somewhat thrilled.
 
I'm sitting here dining some yummmy morning tea looking forward to this summer. Im also so grateful for the amazing friends and family I have in my life. I love them so much
 
I'm leaving for a long weekend in Colorado on Thursday, and I have a snow day today! Who knew 1-3 inches could turn into a foot? Yay Michigan!
 
I live for free as I'm at boarding school, and I skate every day. It's the only thing keeping me alive really.Study is hard, but at least I have the opportunity to do it, so I work hard.
Why am I happy? Because I haven't burnt myself for over three weeks, and I'm going skating with friends today.
 
i was diagnosed with leukemia over christmas break of my sophomore year, had to take a year and a half off school, go back a grade, but after jumping through a ton of hoops i will be graduating on time this year in june 2011 as I had been on track too since kindergarten, and going to university of denver in the fall. My knees are destroyed from chemo so i have to get a double knee replacement but i can still ski on pain meds, but park is a no go and i might never be able to again. It may sound bad but lifes great for me.
 
I really hope that you're feeling good, remember, we're here to share good feelings and vibes and if you're ever missing some, just holler!
 
You are on of the best kind of people, the people that don't say fuck it let's get fat. The kind of people that say I'm going to so anything it takes to do the things I love, vibes man
 
Skied epic pow all weekend. Hung out with my best friend over the weekend. Finally getting all caught up in school. Skiing almost every day. Life fucking rocks.
 
I'm happy cos my twin brother finally has got himself a nice girlfriend and he is well chuffed and I'm well happy for him :) "Loving life Oh 11"
 
You are the man. Vibes!

I really like this thread. I've had my fair share of hardships, and I'm sure more will come, but nonetheless I am an incredibly happy person. Currently I'm a second semester senior, which feels terrific! I've gotten more skiing in this year than in any other year, and it is fantastic!
