I like life right now. Things aren't perfect, but they never are.
The things that bother me are things I can fix given time and inclination, so it's up to me. I could complain, but who would listen? Really, who?:)
 
In between. I have quite a mass of health issues, but am still fairly happy. I did not vote. Let's perhaps add a neutral option to the poll, please?
 
No, right now is a very miserable time in my life. At the root of the misery is a combination of the following:
-Girlfriend has terminal cancer
-College
-Depression
-Lack of motivation for my hobbies (Writing and photography)
 
It's all good with me. Usually I'm just fine. It's very rare when I am sad or depressed. That's just not me.

I get angry sometimes, but not as much lately.
 
I can't decide.

It's probably a no really, but things have been so crappy for that past few years that it's hard to class how I feel now as unhappiness.

I'm in the transition phase now, doing all the things to try and make things better. So I'm not exactly happy just now but I'm feeling good about the things I'm doing and what might happen soon. Ask me again in 3 months :)
 
At the moment, I would say no because of exams :rolleyes:, along with some other circumstances...
 
Yep. Steady job, kick-ass girlfriend who will be moving in with me over the next few months...everything's good right now.
 
No. Graduated school last may. Been out of work for a year to the day. Living at home after being on my own for 4 years of college. On the plus side I don't have any debt and have all expenses paid for at least another 18 months. No longer in a poor relationship as well.

There's always alcohol.
 
Yes. This has more to do with being easy to please than any specific thing happening or not happening in my life.

My sincere sympathy to you both... That's really really tough my friend. Very sorry to hear that.
 
I wake up to cats climbing on me, I receive a weekly paycheck for just staying the hell away, I have two kayaks, and I live in one of the most beautiful places in North America.

Life is good.

If that's the case, everybody should vote yes just because we are privileged enough to have a computer and internet access.

If you make as little as $8000 per year, you're still in the upper 13.6% of income on the planet.

Eh, not really. There are few reasons but they just stress me just a little to much. One is not being very lucky with the ladies recently :eek:. The other is knowing next year I'm signing up for a lot of honors classes. I know I could take regular classes but I always get bundled with the most boneheaded kids in my grade level. So it's either be with immature idiots or in classes that I get pushed to hard. And to top that I'm taking an AP Chemistry class too. My most hated class.

And I wanted to take photography but I have to take art(WTF) first. :mad:

But otherwise my life is great! :)

Have fun with AP Chem, at my school even the teachers tell us to avoid that like the plague :p, me personally I'll be taking 5-6 AP classes(Calc. BC, Lit, Gov, Computer Science, Microeconomics and possibly macroeconomics), yes I am slightly insane, but you have to be if you want to go Ivy league :eek:
I should be studying for my AP lang exam tomorrow, but I'm horrible about procrastinating :p

I hear you buddy. GF is in the Airforce...but relationship is shakey. We've been off and on for 3 years. I am starting to think we're more in it for the comfort level and memories than actually a healthy relationship. And I can't find steady work either my friend. And living back at home after 4 years of college. Yup. College life = blast. Loved the last 4 years. After graduation? = I haven't been this down with my life ever. It's a weird transition for sure.
 
Overall, yes. Of course there are still some aspects that could use improving. I'm appreciative for what I have, especially as there was a time not that long ago when I thought I'd never be able to claim being "happy". Mercifully, things change.

In perspective I think it's so easy to forget how easy so many of us have it but I suppose that's another topic.
 
Yes and no.

No because my job sux and we're at minimum hours so I make next to nothing.

Yes because I'm going to college in the fall for the first time so I'll never have to work again for $8.50/hr. :D Once I earn my Degree, of course. (Aiming for a PhD in the next 15/20 years)
