Be Happy | Lifestyle

 Aloha Bandellas

So we all focus on things that are supposed to make us successful rather than making us happy. We fixate on scenarios we wish would happen but only attempt those which can make us wealthy and ultimately lonely. I know this sounds really deeps and emotional but I am at the brink off my future which up until a few hours ago was daunting but now seems so simple. My math tutor for the past 5 years told me to do more of what makes me happy, and that's what I'm going to do. So here's my 5 step plan for happiness: (obvs you don't have to follow this directly because we all have different needs and are experiencing different things at present)

1) Surround yourself with positive people who make you laugh
2) Forget about the things you can't do, if at this point in your life you still can't do something, focus on the thing you can do and turn that into your claim to fame
3) Stop caring about what other people think of you. This is easier said then done because we've all been raised to conform and do our utmost to be accepted into society, but who says the society we live in is the proper, pure and ideal one? So do what you want and when you want!
4) Create your own perfect and conform to that alone
5) Create a personal motto or life slogan, and seriously even if you look and sound like a lunatic, repeat it to yourself whenever you feel yourself being tested, we don't care what people think remember ;)

Hope this helps everyone to transform their life into utopia and to be Happy !

Until next time

The Beginning Of The End

Aloha Bandellas

So they say change is as good as a holiday, but sometimes change could mean saying goodbye to people who you have spent everyday with and form part of some of the best and happiest memories of your life.

As you all now I am in my final year of school, matric as we call it, and I am now in the final stretch thereof. Today we had one of our final celebrations, the matric breakfast. With our final examinations less than a month away, it was pretty much the last time we could be together in a stress free environment and just enjoy each others company doing the silly things we known for i.e. taking selfies. Its really hard to wrap your head around the fact that we may never see some of these people again. People who you had daily interactions with. The thought of people who you love and care about so much just becoming a memory is frightening and unfathomable. Perhaps I will soon snap out of this high school nostalgia and move forward to accept change, but right now let me just sit in my awkward bubble feeling emotional about people I'm going to miss but will probably still see because they could never stay away from my face (kidding).

P.S word of the day: Privatsofriendsophobia: the fear of your friends having private jokes with someone else ;)
