Learning Challenge: Happiness, Try the Happiness Jar (First Week)

I chose to do a happiness challenge because I wanted to feel happier and appreciate the small things that I don't notice and take for granted. I'm sure there are many things around me that I should be more appreciative of.

I've been anxious and neurotic largely due to my irregular, random patterns of sleep. Scientists and sleep experts recommend getting eight hours of regular sleep every day. Like today, I've often gotten zero hour of sleep.

So for this happiness challenge, I want to get eight hours of sleep everyday for one week from today, Monday, October 29th to Sunday, November 4th. I really want to see if getting eight hours of sleep really makes someone happier like the scientists say.

To accomplish this challenge, I have come up with a specific plan that includes several steps.

1. I will work and study only until 9:15 PM.

2. From 9:15 PM to 9:30 PM, I will take a shower to get ready for sound sleep

3. At 9:30 PM, I will be lying on my bed.

4. Until 10:00 PM, I will try some sleep-inducing tips such as reading novels and listening classical music.

5. From 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM, I will be asleep.

I will check the results next week to see if I will be successful at getting eight hours of sleep and becoming happier and more productive during the day.

Introduction to Peter the Real Estate Agent

Hi guys! I'm Peter, and I'm an OU student. I'm a junior, and I'm majoring in Communication. I believe I'm a very honest person, so I'm going to tell you why I chose to major in Communication. I honestly chose to do this major because I thought Communication would be a relative easy major. Nevertheless, it turns out that it is not! Some professors are tough and demanding, and there are lots of heavy reading, intensive writing, and several exams that I need to complete to earn an OU Communication degree. I still think Communication is a pretty cool major because I get to learn about many interesting effective communication theories. Because my major belongs to the College of Arts and Sciences, it has heavier emphasis on theory and research more than practice and application. Honestly, I don't really remember a "cool class" that I took last semester (I don't think I had any). Nonetheless, these classes, Myth Folklore and Indian Epics, ar...

Week 10 Story: Fierce Brothers (PDE Mahabharata, Part D)

Once upon a time, two fierce brothers lived who were managers of a Kansas corn farm. John, who was honest, scrupulous, and fair-minded, disliked cheating and liked to work with his son all throughout the year, especially during the harvest season. John was popular, so he had many followers and sharecroppers who genuinely liked him. In addition, the owner of the farm, who was an old man in his eighties, really liked John and wanted him to succeed his ownership once he died. There was another brother whose name was April. Unlike John, April was greedy, competitive, and was always determined to win. April disliked rules and often ignored the proper procedures when he was working on the farm. One day, April decided to cheat John out of excessive greed. April wanted bumper crops for himself and did not want to share as much with his fair-minded brother John. So April, along with his fellow crooked followers and sharecroppers, decided to revolt against John and his scrupulous follow...
