LOOKING GOOD, FEELING GOOD: OVERALL WELLNESS: PSYCHOLOGICALLY 2

Hi dearies :)

So today we are going to touch on the second part of finding your little happiness in school.

Do not be too academically focus in school. YOU NEED TO GO BEYOND THAT!!
Join some activites in school that interest you :) At the same time, widen your social network circle and learn something different apart from studies :)

2. Join school activites

Patrine and Abigail both joined some activites in school and today they are going to share their school acitivies with you guys!! :)

Patrine's activites

Patrine participated in TPRAWKS 2012. From there, she learnt how to step out of her comfort zone and be confident of herself. :)

Through there, she made friends with her pack leaders and rawkers. It was a very fun experience for her:)

Patrine also signed up for Freshmen orientation 2013 during the starting of April this year. Before she went for FO, she actually went through 4 camps with her empire mates. Though all the camps, she learnt alot. She learnt how to be selfless and to have courage. She also learnt how to prioritise her time between school work and fun. If she never went for the interview to become a GL, she wouldn't have so much fun and laughter in her life at school;)

Besides the camps she attended, she also went for dinner and dance with her friends she met during camps in 2013 last sem:)

Abigail's activity

In her year 2, Abigail took up a role in Marketing Interest Group. She wanted to planned events for the cohort and widen her social network!! At the same time, she wanted to experience different things. Thus, she took up the challenge :)

She went on a 3 day 2 night CAMP LOOLA trip at Bintan with her new committee and throughout this whole trip, she has learnt several things.

Here are some photos of the Bintan trip:

Abigail and her MIG mates arrived early at the ferry terminal and had breakfast while waiting for the rest to come:)

CLIMBING THE COCONUT TREE was the first activity they did!! It was challenging climbing to the top. But with their cheers, Abigail eventually made it to the top after 45 minutes :)

HIGH ELEMENT was our next activity. It was terrifying jumping from the top.

Nevertheless, Abigail made it safely to the ground.

TREKKING TIME! :) The weather was good but the route was challenging. However, Abigail and her MIG mates helped each other along the way. Eventually, they made it to the top together!! :)

FLYING FOX AND ABIGAIL LOVE IT HAHAHA :)

They built the sandcastle together s well and decorated it with pretty seashells :)

There was also CAMPFIRE on their second night :) Games were played!

Abigail had learnt so much throughout this short trip. She made many new friends and realised that friends are an important emotional support to her. It made her life more meaningful and happier :)

To add on, Abigail and Patrine joined Proggers together for business school too! It was an opportunity for them to their minds off projects and assignments. Throughout the entire camp, they had a lot of fun throughout.

On a side note:

'7 simple facts' on why you should be happy!

1. Happy people on average have stronger immune systems, and there is some evidence that they live longer

2. Happy people are more creative, at least in the laboratory

3. Happy people are better citizens at work - they tend to help others more, skip work less, etc.

4. Happy people are more successful - they earn more income, have better marriages, get job interviews more, etc.

5. Happy people do better in social relationships. They are more sociable to begin with, and other people like them more. They seem to be more successful in leadership work positions.

6. Happy people are better able to cope with difficult situations.

7. Happy people like themselves and other people more, and others like them in return. They are also more helpful and altruistic, on average.

Different people have different ways of defining happiness.
So Patrine & Abigail have found their little happiness in school.
HAVE YOU FOUND YOURS? :)
