So it seems like there is so much unhappiness, depression, and general angst floating around The Lounge these days. So I thought I'd liven things up a bit. I'm supremely happy right now. I just graduated high school, hung out with tons of friends, and got accepted to a great college with lots of scholarships. I have a good job, a fun hobby project, I'm in the best shape of my life, and I have the whole summer ahead of me. How could life get any better?

Congratulations at graduating! What college classes have you decided to get into?

Well, I'm happy for you. At least someone here is looking on the bright side.
Keep up the good work.

Generally, my mood changes faster than my mind can keep up with it, so I can't really come to a definite conclusion. I'm neither happy nor unhappy -- just chronically confused. A fabricated diary entry to illustrate the point:

To whom it may concern:

Life is great.

I, too, got accepted into a great university with lots of scholarships. Well, it wasn't my first choice, and the scholarship is not a full one, but it's not too bad. Sure, could have been better, but who am I to be grouchy about it? After all, I've done far better than that other kid who's going to OSU. Well, actually, he wanted to go to OSU. Oh well, he's a creep, anyway. He's so arrogant, too. He has one of those girlfriend things that he likes to keep around and brag about. What a loser -- I bet he doesn't even remember how great it feels to be single, to be independent, to not have split loyalties and all those unnecessary burdens. Yeah, I know I'm not entirely consistent -- after all, I did ask this one girl out a few months ago. She said no. But that's ok, I didn't really care about her. In fact, I still don't care about her. I haven't been thinking about her for weeks now. Well, at least not as much as I used to. Occasionally, I do think about her, but... well, ok, I do think about her sometimes. Fuck -- I think I'm still in love with her. Ok, this is obviously a deadend -- revert back to the last thing I was thinking about before I went down this path. What was it? Oh yeah, that OSU moron. I hate him too. Actually, I'm a little bit jealous. He has more luck with girls, and he actually managed to get into the college where he wanted to go, unlike me. God, I hope they didn't give him a penny of scholarships. Well -- shit, they probably did -- OSU gives money to every worthless sap that applies there.

*Sigh*... Life sucks.

Forever yours,

I have to totally agree. I've been depressed/down/sad/angry for a long time until last week. That wednesday(Now almost 2 weeks ago), I had a short circuit in my brain, releasing intense happiness into my system.

I can't explain why, I screwed up 6 months of college, I'm behind on my administration for my company and I'm extremely busy with nagging clients, but I am so intensely happy...

I'll go along with the "I hate you" thing. [wink]

That's good to hear. [smile] I'm always in a good mood, it's just that the past couple days have been a downer. I'm never really sad unless something happens to make me so.

Well, for one, congratulations! We're all (yes, we all are) exceptionally glad for your accomplishments!

Life could be better by winning the lottery and taking a summer long Caribbean cruise. Yeah, that's it.

Congratulations, you'll probably be really bored by the end. I generally find that when I'm happy I'm often also bored.

I am probably atypical, however.

I like your style, Mike. I'm happy too, but I'm always happy. Well, I'm extra happy because I'll be snowboarding in New Zealand in under 6 days! Woo hoo!

And what the hell, it's only half way through the year and your graduating? Things are crazy in America.

I have no idea what you're talking about, and no jury in the world would convict me.

By OSU, is it Oregon State University?

I've been reading The Oregon Starter, and I don't see why it's a bad place. So if they are to help their student, is it wrong?
