By Hannah Hemperly The Rocky Mountain Collegian

The Warner College of Natural Resources (CNR) is getting a new dean and a new building. Joyce Berry, who has served as the dean on and off since 2004, is stepping down from her position as of May 31. “We’ve been a part of the col- lege for over 40 years. It’s really been a part of our family, even when we were away, we were so committed to CNR and CSU,” Ber- ry said.

The movie goes on to tell the story of different people, their experiences with happiness and how to become happier. Accord- ing the science of happiness used in the movie, the key to happiness is physical activity, intentional activities and changing up your routine. Physical ac- tivity reduces stress and IN BRIEF is good for your health. The movie describes The things we have been taught (or not taught) intentional activities as about happiness have been things you like to do that proven to be wrong. make you happy.

If “The that might help keep more Walking Dead” makes smiles on your face. you happy, make time for Spread happiness and it. These are things we watch the effects it will intentionally do to add to have on you. our happiness. According to “The Happy Movie,” we cannot become too complacent in our routines. It’s good to switch things up every now and again, so talk to someone new or take a new path to class. You might see, learn or hear something new. The author in “Stumbling On Happiness” also re- iterates some of the themes mentioned in “The Hap- py Movie,” but he also presents tips on how to add to our happiness. According to the author, another way to be happy is to ask instead of fantasizing. As hu- mans, we often fantasize about how happy we would be if we were in a certain position. The author claims that while this is fun, it is not beneficial because our minds leave out important pieces in our fantasies. Instead, he suggests that we ask someone who is currently in the position we would like to have about their experiences and happiness in this position. If you want to know if you would be happy as a teacher, you should ask a teacher. Even though we feel that this will not be helpful because we are different from everyone else, the author claims this is not true, and we are much more similar than we think. The idea of happiness is a broad one. Mostly everyone wants to achieve it, but I think that we have been told wrongly how to do so. Material things and possessions might make us happy in the moment, but in the long term, they will just end up under our beds like the rest of the junk we buy. Happiness is not easy and is not something that happens overnight. You have to work on being happy.
