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 3 Story: PDE Ramayana Part A

The capital of ancient city of Indian subcontinent, a beautiful and glamorous place, was called Ayodhya. It lied in the country of Koshala. Koshala was known for its unique and elegant beauty just like the past Indra's well-decorated cities. The city was filled with luxurious surroundings. Large dwellings for thirsty people, beautiful and lavishly decorated diamond, silver, and gold temples and shrines, as well as mountains with rich biodiversity. Besides the luxurious and rich surroundings, there were other eye-opening and awe-awakening elements in the city. Gardens had all sorts and kinds of birds, lions, and animals like a zoo. Beautiful and exotic flowers were spread apart everywhere in the city. Bees and lotuses were everywhere. Wind blew honey bees and they produced the best-tasting honey. Birds were sitting on people's head and arms and sang occasionally to entertain people (especially women and children). It seemed almost like a Heaven on Earth. Nevertheless, ther...
