Unit 4: Pursuing Happiness PBL (Keyana Gloeckle) by Keyana Gloeckle https://padlet.com/keyanaglo8036/zzhlm9dyo6my en-us 2018-04-03 17:33:56 UTC 2026-01-31 16:15:42 UTC hello@padlet.com https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRSkXY3TaRwI2Szqc9MvuhjAR8CVIX_HCFmAmXORu85TP1QIcPl keyanaglo8036 https://padlet.com/keyanaglo8036/zzhlm9dyo6my/wish/249926215 2018-04-09 17:07:01 UTC https://padlet.com/keyanaglo8036/zzhlm9dyo6my/wish/249926215 Social Media keyanaglo8036 https://padlet.com/keyanaglo8036/zzhlm9dyo6my/wish/252257677 Social media has become a big part of everyone's life. The question is whether it makes us happy or not. Social media has become an addiction throughout many people around the world. It can be bad towards your emotions and feelings or eve good. Some people value themselves over "likes" or "comments." Even though we all know that it shouldn't matter, it is just a human instinct. Another human instinct is one-upping each other. And according to Todd Leopold, one-upping has become a great, big competition over social media. How you use and what you take advantage of in social media will mostly determine on how it makes you feel, happy or sad.]]> 2018-04-16 17:22:55 UTC https://padlet.com/keyanaglo8036/zzhlm9dyo6my/wish/252257677 Fast Food (children) keyanaglo8036 https://padlet.com/keyanaglo8036/zzhlm9dyo6my/wish/252261399 According to "The Journal of Happiness Studies." fast food makes a child less unhappy and rather happier, even though it is not beneficial for their health. The reason to this is mostly that this type of food tastes better. It's important for parents to keep in mind that they shouldn't ban these foods completely and "lighten up." Although it is recommended to find other ways to make your child happier than just food, so they are taught to maintain a healthy lifestyle. I know that whenever I get fast food, it is usually a reward or treat for doing something. But for other people, fast food is a habit and makes them more unhealthy or self conscious about what they eat. It is hard for them to stop eating it because eating fast food can form into a habit.]]> 2018-04-16 17:30:37 UTC https://padlet.com/keyanaglo8036/zzhlm9dyo6my/wish/252261399 Music keyanaglo8036 https://padlet.com/keyanaglo8036/zzhlm9dyo6my/wish/252264777 According to DNews, "Listening to moving music causes the brain to release dopamine, a feel-good chemical." In my opinion, listening to my favorite songs have a really big impact on my mood. Listening to upbeat music makes me feel more energetic and motivated while slow music may make me feel sad or slower. Many people workout listening to music because it motivates and entertains them. I also feel like when I listen to music I feel more satisfied on how I used my time. I get something accomplished that is boring and I don't prefer to do, but music makes me feel happier and successful on how I utilized my time.

It is called Seasonal Effective disorder, which usually is found between the months October to April. Due to the lack of sun, your body produces melatonin. Melatonin is the hormone that makes you feel sleepier. I have definitely experienced the sleepiness affect of melatonin throughout these past months. Now that the seasons and weather is changing, I feel that my mood has changed. Seeing sunlight and being exposed to it makes me feel more of a happier person. I am more motivated to do a lot with my day instead of take naps. I would like to compare this disorder to a bear hibernating in the winter! Many people are out and able to do more things than be stuck inside. When it's nice outside, Gatsby throws parties and everyone has the greatest times. This can also compare to The Old Man and the Sea, when he had good experiences with fishing and was less stressed when the weather was nice and good for fishing. More people are able to do the things they love when the weather is nice.]]> 2018-04-23 17:18:26 UTC https://padlet.com/keyanaglo8036/zzhlm9dyo6my/wish/254514452 Exercise keyanaglo8036 https://padlet.com/keyanaglo8036/zzhlm9dyo6my/wish/254523873 According to Jessica Orwig, "Researchers at the University of Vermont found that even just 20 minutes of exercise can give you those mood-boosting benefits for up to 12 hours afterward!" Even though everyone loathes exercising and prefers to stay home and relax, exercising has many benefits. "Exercise is proven to increase feel-good chemicals in the brain, reduce stress hormones, and relieve depression and anxiety according to Happify." For me, after I workout I feel stronger and toned. It makes me feel better about my physical and outer view view of myself. The feeling after a good workout also makes me feel accomplished and successful. But in other cases, some people may seem like they are overweight and pick out all there flaws making them less motivated or even to an unhealthy stage. There are different views about exercising, but taking advantage of the benefits will make one confident about themselves.]]> 2018-04-23 17:35:18 UTC https://padlet.com/keyanaglo8036/zzhlm9dyo6my/wish/254523873 Don't Worry Be Happy:) keyanaglo8036 https://padlet.com/keyanaglo8036/zzhlm9dyo6my/wish/258633748 Bob McFerrin says, "In every life we have some trouble, When you worry you make it double." I really agree with this statement. When you dwell on the bad things in life, you will never have the capacity to bring happiness into your life. This why some people have trouble finding happiness. It is good to thing more optimistic in life because you will find yourself being more successful. This can compare to Gatsby because the fact that he wasn't good enough for being with Daisy, he found himself doing things that didn't make him happy like throwing the parties. He would've been a far more happy person if he tried not to be someone he wasn't and won her over by being himself.]]> 2018-05-07 17:20:31 UTC https://padlet.com/keyanaglo8036/zzhlm9dyo6my/wish/258633748 The Holidays keyanaglo8036 https://padlet.com/keyanaglo8036/zzhlm9dyo6my/wish/258638961 During the holidays it makes me happy because it brings my family together and we do a bunch of traditions. As I grow older I still like the holidays because I get to spend time with most of my family and it gives me a little break from school. I feel like the holidays are great ways to rekindle family and friends together. Also the holidays can be stressful for some and they may dread the time of the year. It is different for every family, which is special.]]> 2018-05-07 17:30:23 UTC https://padlet.com/keyanaglo8036/zzhlm9dyo6my/wish/258638961 Do's and Don'ts keyanaglo8036 https://padlet.com/keyanaglo8036/zzhlm9dyo6my/wish/260034020 I feel like making rules on the do's and don'ts of being happy will result in never being satisfactory with anything. Having high standards will just make things more stressful. I know that when I get assignments and read the do's and don'ts parts, it makes me more stressed for making the project exceeding and perfect for class.]]> 2018-05-11 17:38:14 UTC https://padlet.com/keyanaglo8036/zzhlm9dyo6my/wish/260034020 The feeling of winning keyanaglo8036 https://padlet.com/keyanaglo8036/zzhlm9dyo6my/wish/260036617 Winning is such a great and satisfying experience. What makes it the best is to know that all your hard work has paid off and it hasn't been a waste of time. Sometimes you don't even need to win and have a reward to be happy. The hard work someone puts in, may make them feel happier. The Old Man for The Old Man and the Sea, cherished the time and hard work that he experienced trying to catch the fish more then complaining that he couldn't bring it back alive. Contrast to the Old Man, Jay Gatsby wasn't ever satisfied until he got the physical thing he wanted.]]> 2018-05-11 17:46:42 UTC https://padlet.com/keyanaglo8036/zzhlm9dyo6my/wish/260036617 What is happieness? keyanaglo8036 https://padlet.com/keyanaglo8036/zzhlm9dyo6my/wish/260254830 hap·py

Being able to trust another and have someone there for you is a powerful thing to have. I think the awareness that someone is interested in you and truly is fond about you makes you feel way more confident and happy. Each person has a different way on how they love and what or who they love. But all of them result in mostly happiness and content. Gatsby is a happier man when he reconnects with Daisy. Also, Santiago is a better person when he is able to go fishing everyday.]]> 2018-05-13 18:20:29 UTC https://padlet.com/keyanaglo8036/zzhlm9dyo6my/wish/260255169 Hobbies keyanaglo8036 https://padlet.com/keyanaglo8036/zzhlm9dyo6my/wish/260255190 My dad shared how he loves his car and why he loves his car. He loves it so much because that is his one hobby that he is best at. It makes him feel proud to be able to have that certain skill. The purpose of having hobbies are to be unique and to relax and relieve stress. Santiago prefers to fish everyday, because that's what he does best! Most people should accept that their favorite hobbies will change and they will have new interest too.]]> 2018-05-13 18:20:39 UTC https://padlet.com/keyanaglo8036/zzhlm9dyo6my/wish/260255190 Conclusion Video keyanaglo8036 https://padlet.com/keyanaglo8036/zzhlm9dyo6my/wish/261458279 2018-05-17 05:06:19 UTC https://padlet.com/keyanaglo8036/zzhlm9dyo6my/wish/261458279
