Makes me happy

Oh happiness, you elude so many but can be found so easily. Today's youth find you in everything from a small observation to a massive party. In case anyone was wondering, Generation Y's spirits are lifted by the following;
Friends.
A bit of a duh, really. They can remind you of past experiences that had you in stitches and they can put a positive spin on a negative situation. They're also fun to hang out with and look rather pretty in photos of places you've been and thing you've done.
Junk Food.
Yes, whether it's accompanied by many tears or simply a treat for yourself just because you feel like it, junk food makes us happy. Its sugar, its fat, its heart failure but we don't car- it makes us happy. Go pester someone else with your "health concerns".
Helping others.
Don't 'huh' me, you know what I mean, you just don't think you do. Giving someone directions, holding the door open for a stranger, letting another car in, all these things leave us feeling good about ourselves because we've positively contributed to society. We smile a little to ourselves and we're a little more upbeat for the rest of the day. Oh, and we get this warm and fuzzy feeling inside 'cause we're awesome.
Little things.
Okay, I see a few more of you nodding you’re heads so I take it you know what I mean. It's someone remembering how many spoonfuls of sugar you take in your coffee. It's noticing a flower you pass everyday actually has two colours and thinking "hey that's pretty neat". Finding something you really wanted but never thought you'd have and then suddenly, there it is! Hoo-rah!
Relaxing.
This obviously relaxes you, but you're happier afterwards. So like, getting a massage, listening to music, reading etc gets you all calm and don't worry, be happy about everything. Actually, even just some quiet time let's us rejuvenate and be just a tad more pleasant 'cause unwinding and being content(er) go hand in hand.
So, if I've left something out, please go ahead and fill me in as it will give us all another happiness-educing thing activity to try out.
