31 brand-new party hairstyles to try
Accessorized loop
Emma Stone
A sparkly hair pin adds an elegant touch to Stone's relaxed updo. Hairstylist Mara Roszak began by prepping hair with Moroccanoil Light Oil Treatment for Fine and Light-Colored Hair to give smoothness and shine. She blew it dry with a large paddle brush and spritzed Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray all over. She parted Stone's hair deep on one side, gathered it at the nape of her neck, twisted it into a knot, then loosened the hair at the crown. She misted on hair spray, along with a bit of Moroccanoil Glimmer Shine Spray for added sheen, before fastening a brooch at the side of the twist.
Updo: Low ballerina bun
Gwyneth Paltrow
Paltrow's sleek knot is gorgeous for a more formal occasion—not to mention the ideal style to show off a pair of statement earrings. While hair is damp, spray it with Kérastase Reflection Chroma Cristal Shine Perfecting Mist, says hairstylist Bridget Brager. After blowing it dry, part hair in the center and smooth it into a low ponytail. Brager recommends slipping hair into a sock-bun tool, like the Sarah Potempa Wrap Up, which winds hair into a perfectly round shape. Secure with bobby pins and finish with hair spray.
Updo: Side-swept chignon
Jennifer Garner
Garner's low, romantic bun is perfect for a dinner party -- and it's easy to create. Start with a really good blow-dry, misting in a volumizing spray like Phyto Phytovolume Actif Volumizer Spray. Part hair on the side, teasing it at the crown and the back of the head. "It's asymmetrical," hairstylist Ted Gibson says. "Gather hair into a low ponytail, pulling it above the ear on one side but draped over the ear on the other. That makes it modern." Twist the ponytail into a knot, pin it into place with bobby pins, and let a piece fall just so to one side.
Updo: Mixed proportions
Sienna Miller
Pumped-up roots give Miller's classic ballerina bun an edge. Begin by back-combing a section of hair in the front. Once you have some height, smooth it over with a boar-bristle brush. "It's meant to look soft and airy, not textured," Gibson says. Gather hair into a low ponytail, slicking the sides with a wax, such as Göt2b Defiant Define and Shine Pomade, and tease it before twisting it up and securing it with U-shaped pins. "The bun needs to be thick," Gibson says. "It needs to balance out the volume in the front."
Updo: Loose knot
Michael Kors Fall 2012
To create this roughed-up low knot for Michael Kors's Fall 2012 show, hairstylist Orlando Pita blow-dried hair straight, then teased the entire head and misted on hair spray. Using his fingers, he raked hair toward the nape of the neck and secured it with an elastic. He twisted the ponytail into a loose knot and pinned it into place, leaving the ends out for an effortlessly chic effect.
Updo: Voluminous bun
Rose Byrne
Byrne's bump has a retro feel without looking dated. "It's so feminine," says hairstylist Kerrie Urban. "And it has a gorgeous silhouette." Lift dry hair up at the top of the head and spritz roots with a volumizing spray (Bumble and Bumble Styling Lotion is one of our go-tos), she says. Set the spray using a blow-dryer, and back-comb hair about three inches from the hairline. Smooth over with a comb to tame any flyaways and gather hair into a low, loose ponytail. Tease hair for more volume, again smoothing over with a comb (or your fingers), before wrapping it into a bun. Secure the style with U-shaped pins.
Updo: Embellished chignon
Chanel Spring 2013
We love this style from Chanel's Spring 2013 runway show: It's a simple loop, but an expertly placed accessory adds the perfect amount of embellishment for evening. Hairstylist Sam McKnight prepped hair with Fekkai Coiff Bouffant Lifting and Texturizing Spray Gel, parted it down the middle, and gathered it into three sections at the nape of the neck. He layered the outer pieces over the middle to form a crisscross shape and secured the ponytail with an elastic. He rolled hair into a low-hanging loop, secured with bobby pins, and slid in a pretty pearl-embellished pin.
Updo: French twist
Rachel McAdams
This isn't any old French twist: "It has the classic roll in the back but a pompadour feel in the front," Gibson says of McAdams's look. The best part? "Any woman could pull this off, no matter her age," he says. Begin by teasing hair lightly in the front from the hairline to the middle of the head. Set with hair spray or, if you're working with day-old hair, dry shampoo. Sweep hair back to the left side with your hands and roll from the top to the bottom. Secure with U-shaped pins, and let the flyaways fly.
Updo: Wispy topknot
Diane Kruger
A bit of texture and a few wispy pieces add a youthful appeal to Kruger's swept-up style, Brager says. Flip your head upside down and blow-dry hair straight with a styling cream -- we recommend Living Proof No Frizz Nourishing Styling Cream. With your head still flipped over, secure a tight ponytail at the crown. Then, break hair into two sections, wrap one around the base of the ponytail, and pin it into place. Wrap the other around the base in the opposite direction and pin that one into place. Spritz Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray all over and pull down a few delicate pieces near the ears.
Updo: Crisscrossing bun
Amy Adams
Re-creating Adams's woven chignon is much easier that it looks. First, blow-dry hair with a volumizing mousse, such as Pantene Triple Action Volume Mousse, Brager says. Create a center part about two inches deep, tease the crown, and brush hair into a low ponytail using a boar-bristle brush. Once the ponytail is secured with an elastic, separate it into three sections, gently back-combing each one. Weave hair into a loose braid, then roll it up toward the elastic and pin it into place. Gently pull on pieces of the braid to make the crisscross pattern more prominent, and set with hair spray.

Hate Handheld Water Bottles?
I don't like running with a handheld water bottle. I don't like the extra weight at the end of my arm. If I have to carry fluids, I'd much rather carry them strapped to my waist or to my back. If you have ever exercised with Heavyhands, you know how much harder a simple workout can be with a little extra weight in your hands.
My friend and neighbor, Randy, does his long runs with a handheld water bottle and swears by it. I finally gave in and bought the lightest, most comfortable handheld bottle I could find, the Nathan Sprint.
It holds 10 ounces of fluid and has a race cap with a high flow, one-way valve. It has a thin mesh hand strap that doesn't require you to grip the bottle. If you need a handheld bottle with a little more capacity, the Nathan Quickdraw Elite (22 oz) is a good choice.
I've run with it and it feels pretty good. My hand doesn't get tired and I really didn't feel effect of the weight on my arm, either. The one-way valve works well and delivers fluids in short bursts, as needed.
What types of handheld bottles do you use? Tell me in the comments.

Kelly Rowland sits down with Hollywood.com and discusses style, music and being chosen by Caress as their 2014 Fabulista. Caress teams up with the former Destiny's Child member, former X Factor judge and force of nature all her own to be the spokesperson for their fresh fine fragrance body wash and beauty bars. And Kelly is certainly a good choice - she's always looking like a fresh beauty.
Check out our video interview where the beautiful songstress chats about music and style advice:
Kelly's loving working with Caress because of everything the campaign stands for. Kelly tells us the campaign is all about "daring to be different, and me inspiring women and other women inspiring me as well to enjoy everyday experiences in a fresh, new way."
And Kelly certainly has some fresh, new experiences going on in her life right now. She recently got engaged to her manager Tim Witherspoon. Being engaged suits Kelly well - she simply glowed during our interview. She also debuts a sleek new bob haircut for our interview - personally, we think she's one of the few who looks great with either long or short hair. Lucky girl.
Her beauty and style advice to all of us out there: "Change things up a bit. Shake it up. Change the workout, change the lip color." Kelly is all about a pink lip for spring. "It's all about taking a risk."
Kelly's currently working on her fifth solo album. We're so obsessed with her solo hits, like "Commander," and "Motivation" - which are regulars on our workout playlist rotation - and can't wait to hear her new material. And if she's taken any cue from BFF Beyoncé's surprise album release, Kelly's new album won't be without shock value. Kelly tells us this upcoming album will be inspired by women, her life, and "the queens." The women who have inspired Kelly more than anyone else musically, and who she sweetly refers to as her queens, include Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey and Aretha Franklin.
Kelly is an inspiration all her own. She knows how to make songs that make us dance and always look fabulous while doing it. Her secret? She knows who she is, she's confident with it, and she motivates other women to do the same. This woman is a true inspiration.

Anchorman 2 Gets A Release Date
"Anchorman" fans won't have to wait too long for Ron Burgundy's big screen return.
The highly anticipated sequel will hit theaters next year!
"It's official. Anchorman 2 has a release date: December 20, 2013," "Anchorman" director Adam McKay Tweeted Wednesday night. "Very excited."
Judd Apatow, who produced the original film in 2004, also chimed in about the news, writing, "One year from tomorrow Anchorman 2 will be in theaters!! It is kind of a big deal."
Earlier this month, Paul Rudd confirmed to Access Hollywood that all of the "Anchorman" stars had signed on to return.
"We're all coming back – it starts shooting in the spring," he told Access at the "This Is 40" premiere last week. "I'm very excited for it."
"That's why my hair looks like John Taylor from Duran Duran right now," he added with a laugh, of growing out his locks to reprise his role of Brian Fantana. "By the time we start shooting 'Anchorman,' hopefully it'll be in a place that will fit the time period."

Watch Austin and McClain, two freshman Bloggers, guide you through a virtual tour of Samford's campus. Bow Wow Bulldogs, Bow Wow Bloggers!
I always get super excited when someone asks me why I chose Samford University because it allows me to talk about some of my favorite things- sports, family, and faith. To be completely honest this time last year I had no idea where I was going to college, but I knew where I definitely was not going. You guessed it... SAMFORD! Several students from my school were coming here, and I wanted a fresh start. Even still, my dad was pretty big on my applying to Samford.
Fast forward to Christmas. I was still unsure where I wanted to go. Sarah Cottingham, my admissions counselor had talked to me a lot, and I was finally opening up my mind a little bit. (I'd like to take this time to shout out to all the admissions counselors, y'all rock!) Mom then came up with a ground breaking idea- PRAY ABOUT IT! Soon I had it narrowed down to Samford and one other school, but I couldn't really differentiate between the two. I kept praying, and one night I was finally like "OK God I'm really dumb so can you please make this choice really obvious for me?"
Being a gracious God, He obliged and sent me a definite sign. I was accepted into the Samford Fellows program, a long shot for me, but at the same time I was denied entrance into the other university's Honors College. It was completely a God thing.
Now that I'm here and settled, I realize again that God definitely knows what He's doing. The people here, from cafeteria workers to classmates to professors, genuinely care and want to help! Sometimes they're so nice it scares me! I cannot imagine being anywhere else. So if I have one word of advice as you approach this college selection process, it is this: have an open hand and trust the Lord, for His plans are a lot bigger and better than ours!
Well that's my story. Thanks for letting me share it! Bowwow Bulldogs!!!

White to lead Dayton football
May 30, 2014
By Robert Husseman
Of the News-Register
Dayton Athletic Director Todd Shirley did not need to look far to find the Pirates' next football coach.
Not that he wanted to.
Greg White, a longtime Dayton football assistant, has been promoted to head coach. White is a Dayton High School graduate who played football for the late Pirates coach Dewey Sullivan. He assisted former head coaches Rob Umbenhower, Gary Thorson and Brodie Unger.
White did not return a message seeking comment.
"We're looking for some stability long-term and we can see that with him," Shirley said. "He's seen different philosophies, different experiences. He will kind of be able to form his own style."
Unger left Dayton after two seasons atop the program to become the defensive backs coach at Linfield College. He left the Pirates with a 23-1 record, including a 2012 Class 3A state championship and a 2013 Class 3A state semifinals appearance.
White, who was formally hired in late April, is the Pirates' fourth head coach in the past eight seasons.
"Really, the key for him is just his passion and his heart for Dayton football," Shirley said. "He wants (the kids) to have a great experience."
It was unclear at press time how many members of the Pirates' 2013 coaching staff would be retained.

text: HRSA – Advanced Education Nursing GrantAwarded Total: $733,958This 3-year project will prepare 57 advanced education nurses at the highest level of nursing practice through the initiation of two new Post-Master's Doctor of Nursing practice (DNP) programs in Wayne County, Mich. Significant health disparities exist in health outcomes and health care utilization among racial and ethnic groups in Wayne County and the Southeast Michigan community. In addition, nursing and nursing faculty shortages in the state of Michigan are acute.The program objectives are aimed to impact these health disparities and nursing shortages by preparing nurses with practice doctorates who will work as faculty members, and leaders in both clinical and administrative practice. Program quality and cost efficiency will be enhanced by formation of a consortium model between Madonna University College of Nursing and the University of Detroit Mercy's McAuley School of Nursing and by establishing preferred partnerships with Trinity Health System and St. John Ascension Health System. The missions of all four partners in the academic-service consortium focus on providing service and education for all people, with special emphasis on education and care for the poor, minority groups, and the medically underserved.Exposure of the DNP students within their curriculum to these targeted health systems through their DNP role immersion and practicum projects will impact the distribution of health professionals who have received a portion of their training in underserved area sites. Further clinical training of the DNP students to work more effectively with underserved vulnerable populations will occur through the development of several elective courses within the consortium which focus on cultural competency, mental health competency for the non-psychiatric specialist, and community engagement with underserved populations.Completion of the project will result in identification of effective strategies for implementing DNP programs using a consortium model and preferred health service partnerships. Culturally specific DNP marketing and recruitment materials will also be disseminated. Other dissemination products include the development of an instrument to measure the mental health competencies of non-psychiatric specialists and a measure of self-efficacy related to working with underserved, culturally diverse, or mentally ill populations.Year One: $244,095Year Two: $249,052Projected Year Three: $240,811

Thematic ProgrammingPosted by Lawrence Dillon in Uncategorized
I've long felt that composers are in a unique position to shape an audience's experience over the course of an evening in a way that's simply beyond anything performers can accomplish. Composers can create a set of complementary works that, when performed together, give the concert experience a compelling form. I first tried this eleven years ago: I treated the evening as an extended sonata form. The first two pieces were in dramatic contrast to one another, just as in a sonata exposition. The third piece — which was in two movements, one before and one after intermission — developed ideas from the first two pieces, intensifying their conflict. The evening concluded with a work that resolved the conflicts between the first two pieces, just as in a sonata recapitulation. Of course, nobody in the audience knew that's what I was doing – they just heard four independent pieces, one of which was, oddly enough, split by intermission. The point wasn't to impress them with a novel concept, it was to give them a powerful experience that would make sense in ways they couldn't quite understand. And you know what? I still get rave comments from people who attended that concert, eleven years later.
Now I'm trying something a little more challenging. All but one of the pieces on my concert this Saturday night were written over the course of this past summer. They were written to complement one another, to give a form to an evening with a clearly functioning beginning, middle and end. The program is called "Telling Tales;" the five pieces are:
The framing works, Entrance and Exit, use actors and musicians to tell stories of life before and after the concert, serving as connections between the concert experience and life itself. The next two pieces are very different from one another: What Happened is a three-movement piano quartet, and Still Point is a tender love song. Then comes Dark Circles, which is the meeting point for all of the musics on the rest of the concert – it combines all of the instruments and materials of the other four works into a frenzied, hellacious dance. It's the longest, loudest, densest work on the program.
The scoring of the evening is designed in similar fashion: Entrance (flute, alto flute, violin, viola, piano) is almost all treble; Exit (trumpet, bari sax, cello, double bass, piano) is almost all bass. What Happened covers a wide range with four instruments; Dark Circles covers an even wider range with nine instruments. Still Point is the only work with a singer, and it creates a point of repose at the center of the concert, just as the title implies.
There are other threads that run through the evening, but this summary gives an idea of how it's going to work – thematic programming the way it should be, as far as I'm concerned.
Program and program notes follow.

Music, as we all know, has no trouble standing on its own, but one of its most endearing characteristics is its ability to meld with any other activity. A natural companion for love, work, play, contemplation, conflict, dancing and dining, to name just a few examples, music can enhance everything it touches.
The combination of music and narrative – both epic and lyric — is the subject of this evening's program, Telling Tales. Two story-telling pieces – Entrance and Exit – frame a Classically structured piano quartet, a tender love song, and a wild work of nightmarish visions.
Entrance is a quiet welcome to the concert experience, using layers of memory to connect present with past. A story gradually unfolds about an audience member whose mind wanders away from the music, drifting back to another time and place. Her memories of that other world are influenced by the music she is hearing, and, in turn, the music responds to the journey of her imagination.
To perform Entrance, actor and musicians must listen closely to one another, responding to cues in the text and music with prescribed gestures and harmonies. In the end, everything we hear belongs to all of us — has shared resonances, however ephemeral, whose impact over time cannot be foreseen.
To read the text of Entrance, visit the "Selected Works" page of my website and click on "Entrance."
What Happened is a piano quartet in three movements: Gathering, Congregation and Scattering. Each movement is a different reaction to the shock of bad news. The central movement is headed by this quote from Daniel Defoe (1703):
The Devil builds a chapel there
And 'twill be found, upon examination
The latter has the largest congregation
What Happened was completed in November 2004 and premiered by the Atlantic Ensemble at the Maison danoise of the Cité Universitaire in Paris on May 26, 2005.
Commissioned by author Shona Simpson, Still Point is an homage to her husband, Jonathan Burdette. Ms. Simpson's lovely sonnet, full of vivid, evocative imagery, captures the stability of great love in the whirlwind of daily activity. This musical setting features a prominent viola part, an instrument for which Dr. Burdette has a particular fondness.
Still Point was premiered two weeks ago on the Blüthner Concert Series, which takes place in the Burdette-Simpson home.
The days rush by in fleets like drifts of clouds.
We mean to note them, find their shapes or plot
their known locations, call their names out loud,
but they are here before we know they're not.
A flock of starlings wheels and turns and dives
as one, the individual birds suppressed
by boundless number; seamlessly they fly
till darkness forces them, like us, to rest.
I've heard that when you die your brain reviews
your life, and pauses on the scenes that mean
the most. But what if days, like clouds, refuse
to stop? Like starlings, won't alight, be seen?
I seek the one still point in all the roiling air.
I close my eyes, and you are there.
Shona Simpson Spring 2007
Dark Circles is the meeting place for all of the other musics on this evening's program. Combining the instrumentation of the two works that frame this concert, Entrance and Exit. Dark Circles also uses chords, rhythmic figures and fragments of melody from each of the other pieces. The title refers not only to the dark instrumental colors in evidence throughout, but also the way the musical ideas continually circle back on themselves. Despite the dark timbres, however, the title also has a tongue-in-cheek meaning, since dark circles under the eyes are a product of sleeplessness — a topic of some familiarity to the composer.
The evening begins in contemplation and concludes in ebullience: Exit is a quick spin through an entire life cycle, foretelling the future of an audience member as a metaphorical journey from birth to death and beyond. As in Entrance, the text and music are held together through a complex system of cross-cueing between the actor and musicians. It concludes with an exuberant dance in honor of life and death, and everything on either side.

Mihara bends and stretches the limits of design by stepping even further into its brave world of boundless imagination. This season, the collection explores the more playful side of geometry—shapes and formulas that are near whimsical in their faultlessness. Footwear is harnessed with all over straps (akin to a multi-colored rubber band ball) and bolder-than-bold color combinations. Textured polka dots jut from soft leathers, as materials turn signature silhouettes into play things, and atypical forms and functions are paired to produce a whole that's grounded in logic but geared to dodge reason and pass expectation.

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY -- Less than one week since announcing their annual fundraising campaign was within $50,000 of the $2,525,000 goal set last fall, two donors and a handful of staunch United Way of Indian River County supporters have stepped in issuing a challenge to the organization and the community at-large to help reach the mark.
At a campaign thank-you event on March 5, an anonymous donor hand-delivered a $10,000 check to Chief Executive Officer Michael Kint.
After the event, another donor who wishes to remain anonymous issued a challenge in two parts. The donor would make a gift of $10,000 if United Way was able to first find donors willing to match the gift.
Then, United Way was to publicly announce the Challenge Grant to the community, in order to secure an additional $20,000 in both new donations from existing supporters and new donations from first-time donors.
"This has re-energized the effort and we are so grateful to these two individuals, and the many friends and family that have stepped up since," said Mr. Kint. "I am pleased to announce that we've met Phase I of the challenge, securing $10,000 in commitments to match this gentleman's gift. Now, we're appealing to the community to help us raise the additional $20,000 in funds needed to reach the mark. I have every confidence we will."
United Way is the most comprehensive health and human services charity in Indian River County, and its role in the community is unique. It considers a broad range of health and human services and ensures programs effectively meeting those needs have a critical base of funding to serve local residents. United Way currently funds 42 programs aimed at advancing the common good.
The 2012-13 annual campaign officially ends the third week in May when the board of directors makes final decisions, based on recommendations from a comprehensive community investment process which engages more than 100 volunteers, allocating dollars to community programs and initiatives.
For more information, or to make a donation visit www.unitedwayirc.org , call (772) 567-8900, Ext. 21, or, via mail, P.O. Box 1960, Vero Beach, Florida, 32961.

This is actually kind of fun, I haven't done Trance in a while.. and I'm mixing it with a Rose song! I've remixed "Rose At Midnight" into a trance song, it actually turned out better than I thought... it's soft trance too, so you can just totally mellow out while listening to this XD
I've heard ppl tell me my last song was way too short, soo.. here's an almost 6 minute song XD. I hope you like this little experiment!
PS: Thanks to ParagonX9 for the name suggestion (I had no idea Snapdragon was a Rose/Flower?!) and helping me with some pitch issues.

Those strings, jesus. And the foreground mid frequency synth thing. mastering isn't 100%?? But forget that, this is beautiful.

Was the name based off of the magic the gathering card called snapdragon?
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars June 2, 2012
Good track, although i'm not sure on the bpm, i think for this style of progressive track, 138 would have been better than 142. I'm not keen on the drum samples either. i think a more hissy hihat, instead of the typical tr909 open hat would have been nicer, and a more punchy kick (something from Vengeance Essential Clubsounds 3 pack would be great). The strings sound like they're slightly off key sometimes. This could be an artifact due to the overall frequency spread of the track at that particular point. The latin guitar parts sound good, and fit in nicely. decent effort though! 4.5/5 / 5. Check out some of mine if you get the chance! thanks

The melody is lovely, and the guitar was definitely a good idea. Nice atmosphere you got going there. The synths that kicked in at 0:28 sounded a bit muddy to me, but I guess that's kind of subjective. The strings that took over at 1:23 also sounded slightly off for some reason, and something sounded a bit dissonant in the background during the breakdown at around 2:50. Choir was a bit too quiet IMHO. I'm guessing that this composition is supposed to be rather relaxing, but I do wish that both the buildup towards the ending and the ending itself were a little more dramatic; I find that both were kind of flat. Nonetheless, good job, as usual. Keep it up.
Rated 5 / 5 stars January 20, 2012
An upbeat and steady song
I love this song; listening to it on my mp3 player gets me in a funky, optimistic mood every time. The fun part about your songs are some instantly create stories and amazing battles in my head as I listen. Some day, I'd love to storyboard a short animated movie using this song. I hope you approve if I ask you in the future.

Crossings near school not safeApril 07,2014Crossings near
school not safe
It will be very interesting to see how the lane changes slated for Woodstock Avenue actually play out. For more years than I can count, I have called city authorities with deep concern over the safety of pedestrian traffic in and around Woodstock Avenue and Stratton Road.
Why arent there signs on Woodstock Avenue from either east or west that warn of a school zone? Has anyone within city government ever witnessed how fast cars and tractor trailers zip through that intersection? The very tiny sign for the pedestrians to walk coupled with the sign for drivers not to proceed right on red through the intersection are either difficult to see or totally ignored. A day does not go by that a student or adult hasnt experienced a near miss when they have the light.
As a previous writer pointed out, crossing Woodstock Avenue by Beauchamp and ORourkes is tenuous at best. There have been serious accidents at that crossing, as well as the Stratton Road crossing. It boggles my mind that the school intersection is not even labeled as a school zone. There is no signage, in either direction, warning of this school crossing. Other high traffic areas in Rutland do have signs, as well as flashing lights and speed reduction. Furthermore, the lines painted to tell traffic to stop behind it, so the crosswalk remains clear, are virtually invisible. Twice a year, before school starts and as school ends, I have requested they paint the crosswalks with paint that would remain longer than a week, as well as would be reflective. I am told they will look into it and that they have had trouble with their paint vendor. And we are OK with paying for a product that has not worked for years? Amazingly, communities surrounding ours have clear, visible lines painted that have borne the test of seasons and still remain clearly visible.
These safety issues along with the very poor quality of the Stratton Road sidewalk, overgrowth, holes, cars on the sidewalk, etc., do not help the image of Rutland City, nor do any of these situations encourage our citizens to walk, thus improving mental and physical well-being.

Love for elephants, crafts, science, quotes, travel.
Growing, changing, adapting.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
I used to say "If I have this thing or go to this place or hang out with these people, then I will be happy. Then things will change and be good." but you can't think like that. You can't base all your happiness and good feeling on one thing/event/person. It's all in your mind. Be happy now. Be happy today. It doesn't have to be an overflowing happiness that bubbles out through infinite smiles. It's an awareness. Every morning I started thinking "Today I will find one thing to be happy about." and eventually it turned into two things, three things, until I was just happy. Just be. Live now. Don't live your future before it happens. And it's ok to NOT be happy. Embrace that too. Just don't tell yourself that you'll be happy again when a certain event falls into place. You may find yourself pushing happiness away.
