Given these points , everyone suffers unbappiness some point in their lives. It can be
anything such as a tragedy that happened . or stressed or depressed. Some people may pot
recognize the people that are suffering unhappiness because most people do not like to get the
help they want towards being happy again. When it comes down to the weekend of me going
back home it just excites me because I can be that happy camper like I used to be . before
coming to college. When arriving back to college every Sunday night I don’t think my parents
see how I suffer from not being home with them everyday like it used to be. I believe we all go
through the stage where we're unhappy about something, but at the end of the day we know
what's really important, -and we know what we veo d just re can exe hough our 25
of college. Connections from article “ Alchemy of Suering” the quoie sates“ Remaining

is giving the message that we have to take action in our lives where if we want to be happy in ya’

make us happy. So therefore my unhappiness situations about being being home sick I just () »
simply think about the positives and realize that I can’t be negatives about things because at the o

In conclusion , Everyday someone goes through a phase where someone is unhappy
about something in their lives could being homesick , current events that are happening in this
world , or some personal issues that occured, The thing is we go through all this pain but we
really have to focus on how to get through it and keep a smile on our faces at the end of the day.
A person's happiness can help them excel through life , examples of happiness can be finding the @
right one and marrying them , getting a new pet , receiving excellent grades in courses your , ot
hearing some good news that'll make your day. Being unhappy can be challenging at times and
can be hard to be happy again , but truly it either you have to think positive or get the help you
need so you can get back to a old — and “i happy prsqn ange happy about wie
