What Makes You Happy: For College Students
The Question Nobody Asked You Between Orientation and Finals
Between orientation and graduation, someone should have asked you this. This is that ask.
For the college student performing college successfully on paper — attending, achieving, connecting — who has a persistent sense of not knowing who they are or what they want, separate from the expectations that brought them here.
The Name It First Experience
Between orientation and graduation, someone should have asked you this. What Makes You Happy: For College Students separates what genuinely generates wellbeing from what you are performing. Five chapters: what makes you happy now, the performance patterns named, the pressure to have it figured out confronted, your foundation drafted, agreement signed. The output is not a wellness plan. It is a signed document you authored.
You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.
Sample questions
- What actually makes you happy — separate from what you're supposed to want from college?
- What did you come here expecting, and what is the experience actually like?
- What do you want that you haven't said out loud yet?
Research basis
Grounded in Self-Determination Theory (Deci & Ryan) on intrinsic motivation / student wellbeing research (Seligman, PERMA model applied to higher education) / and identity development (Erikson, Arnett) on emerging adulthood as the primary identity formation period.
