I really liked that our meeting on Friday was really chill after a week of hard work. I LOVED the activity were we wrote positive comments in everyone's brochure. I did not look at my brochure until i was randomly cleaning my room and I found it. I was having a kind of bad day, so when I stumbled upon it all the negative thoughts went away. It was nice to read all the positivity that others had to say. I also enjoyed when everyone shared words to describe themselves because I think we need to do more activities to get to know each other better.

10 Ways Happy People Choose Happiness is a simple article full of obvious statements/actions on what an individual should do to be happy, yet many of us are oblivoisus towards these simple things. Overall, I would like to say I am a happy person. I am most happy when I am with my friends, family (my little brother always puts a smile to my face). Also doing what I enjoy makes me happy along with the sun, music, baking, and dancing. Although, there are times when I can not help falling into a dark place and I develop a pessimistic mindset. Those are the times where I need to surround myself with the things that make me happy to get me through the bad times. Having a support system, someone you can talk to is key to not dwelling on negative thoughts and maintain a peace of mind which leads to happiness. This semester is stressful because I am really involved, (organizations, classes, volunteering) but I am happy being a part of all these things.

 I am going to be honest, and sadly say that I forgot about our E-portfolio, so I am glad you reminded us. As for our Capstone project I have a couple of ideas. Someone mentioned we do a video along of the lines of Shit STARS LEADERS SAY minus the first word. We could also do a music type video.

For spring break I went home on the weekends, and came back to campus during the week because I figured it was a nice trade. I worked for the first weekend, and chilled with my family for the second weekend, which was wonderful. During the week I hung out with my friends, my RA, and my STARS mentor. I got to explore the city and eat at an authentic Thailand restaurant called sticky rice, and I also got to go to Pilsen to visit a friend, eat Mexican food, go to the Mexican Art Museum, and we got baked goods from a panaderia. On the last day of spring break I went to a Korean restaurant with my friend, and for the first time I went to The Rain Forest Cafe. There were only four people on our floor, but I enjoyed the peace in quite. Unfortunately, I did not get to do as much work as I wanted to do, so I will be stressing over that, but overall my break was pretty chill. I also enjoyed the fabulous weather. I just wish it was a couple days longer.

It is crazy thinking that summer is write around the corner. I am planning on picking up a second job for summer, which sounds crazy, but I need the extra money. I am also planning on visiting a Molly in Minnesota for a week, and hopefully we can have fun adventures going camping and visiting the Mall of America and things of that nature. I wanted to go to Lallapalooza, but I can not because all for the whole month of August I am going to be training for the RA position, which is going to be an adventure in itself. I just can not wait for consent nice, sunny weather.
