Alright, I’ll be honest–I love talking about happiness. So I’m going to keep talking about it. In my last post, I had some really great feedback from CollegeCandy readers and I wanted to touch on a great question that was asked:

Having a happy life is important, but what if you don’t know what it is that will make you happy? What if you can’t pinpoint it? How do you figure it out?

This is such a valid question and a difficult one to answer in your 20s. During this age, we are constantly trying to do our best and flounder to make everything better than the last thing. That being said, I can’t promise that I’ll answer this question correctly (I’m a little bit of a do-your-best-don’t-let-anyone-down-or-embarrass-yourself kind of girl). But I will share with you what I have done to pinpoint what makes me ultimately happy. In list form (because that’s my favorite)…

Trying New Things

This is the experimental part of finding happiness. I went through a large part of this process in college. I volunteered, joined clubs, met new people, tried Karkov, really. . .explored. With these mini life experiments, you can discover what gets your heals clicking. And I will warn you, this doesn’t always work right away. I experimented and found that I enjoyed Advertising. Then–when I put it to the test via The Real World, I didn’t feel the same way. And that’s OK. Just start over and build a new hypothesis for yourself. Ugh, why am I bringing science into this?

(We’re back with another weekly installment of G.W.W.E [Guys We Want to Eff]. I don’t know about you but a man who is strong, sensitive, caring, and oh so manly can take me and eff me up and down any day. Enter Will Smith. One order of tall, dark and handsome? Yes PLEASE!)

Will Smith is hot.

But let me tell you why. Even since his days as “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” Will Smith has oozed sexiness like whoa. Yes, even with the neon sweatsuits. But he was never that cocky-hottie sorta guy: he is and always has been a family-loving gentleman and an all around good guy.

I mean, the guy even did rap music respectfully. He took home a couple Grammy’s and never once did he mention “b!$#@es n’ hoes” in his lyrics. Sure, that may have led him to undergo some bullying from hot shots like Eminem (remember the line, “Will Smith don’t gotta cuss in his raps to sell records, well I do so F*ck him and F*ck you too!”), but we have a soft spot for the underdogs!

But music isn’t all he does; Mr. Smith is a super talented actor. With hits like “Bad Boys,” “Independence Day,” “Hitch, “The Pursuit of Happiness,” and, who can forget, “Men In Black,” Smith has more than proved himself to Hollywood. And he looked damn good doing it! WOWZA!

What makes Smith even more effable is his soft side. He and wife, Jada, recently donated $1 million to a school of Scientology to help with school supplies and organic meals. Yes, it’s creepy Scientology, but it was still a donation to benefit kids and nothing is hotter than a guy who loves kids.

Will Smith is 100% the complete package…and I’m sure he’s got a complete package, too, if you know what I mean. Ayooo.

To top it all off, the idea of effing Will Smith is actually doable. Apparently he and Jada have some strange agreement that they can do the naughty with whomever they want as long as they don’t tell each other about it. I could be that person. I COULD BE THAT PERSON….if I ever meet him (or even see him).
