What if happiness didn't exist ?

   What would happen if there wasn't happiness in the world ?A million things wouldn't exist , too.

If we were never happy, we would never laugh.  Laughter expresses enjoyment, and if happiness did't exist, there wouldn't be reason for laughter to exist. Most importantly for me, life wouldn't have a point because all people would be disappointed and they wouldn't enjoy life. There would be unhappiness and no joy in the world. We would have many problem without solutions. Life would be boring and torturous for all of us. Psychiatric drugs would be more expensive due to increased psychological problems. People would cry as well and the world would be full of tears.( OK, that wouldn't really happen ). Love wouldn't exist because it's something that brings happy feelings to people. Also, there wouldn't be comedies.

   I think most of us know what makes us happy, so let's be thankful that the word "happy" and its meaning exist.

                                                                                                                                                                   DEA HOXHALLI

These are some of my favorite images of summer...representing what it's all about for me; peace, reflection and rejuvenation..hope they can give you the same positive feelings during a break from a busy day.  The summer is a special time to regain our strength for the new year. It  may be challenging to let go of all that freedom at first ,but you'll see that your summer fun will come out in your projects and discussions throughout the year---you just have to let the summer in, even in the mid of winter.  It's like what us non-students do-let our youth shine when we're getting too serious.
Thanks to all the beautiful memories of a summer gone by, Cheers to an even better year ahead!
