Happiness is a choice.

Listening to Kurt Schneider, Sam Tsui and Christina Grimmie's cover of Nelly's 'Just A Dream' right now. Haven't talked about Kurt for a while, but that's because he's probably been busy with other things.

We can't always do the things we love to do because there are other things that are more crucial in life (like you know, to ensure a financially stable future, et cetera).

I believe the probable ultimate goal in life is to wind up doing what you love for a living. You'd be able to enjoy life to the fullest, 'cause work wouldn't seem like work anymore when you enjoy it. And when you enjoy doing something, you'd do it well and won't procrastinate, and then you'd have more time for other awesome things. Life would be great and you'd die a happy, fulfilled person.

But that's also when people learn how to compromise. Life doesn't always take you where you'd like to end up, and if you can't learn how to be okay with it you're going to be living a sad, depressed life, which isn't great at all. So yeah, learning how to make do with what you have is another probably ultimate goal in life too, 'cause ultimately, we all want to be happy.

Happiness is a choice. Shaycarl says that, and when I watch his vlogs and see his family, it makes me want to become a better person in life. There's absolutely no reason to be miserable and depressed all the time. Absolutely none.

Positive outlook.

Had our Boarding briefing today during ACE, which meant we had to sit in the Audi for an hour and become enlightened about the school's Enhanced Boarding Programmed. Oh, enhanced.

It's become this new thing when we pass each other in the hostel to raise your eyebrows and go, "Enhanced? Since when?" Never knew that.

It's not like the hostel doesn't try though. The food's definitely better, for one. And the people are great, so there's no complaining there.

Anyway, it's funny listening to non-hostel people talk about what it's going to be like next year, 'cause we know the hostel inside out, and we know no words can truly describe what it's like. We never leave school. School is our all. It's a full-time commitment. That's all I've got to say.

All right, going off now.

Sleep is essential.

Night.

P.S. Oh man, it's going to be weird staying with our batch next year. I mean, we're so used to it being only us, when an odd hundred or so people you know suddenly start sharing living space with you, I have a feeling it's going to seem like a whole new place.
