    Coffee and fabulous are both right. The two keys are to have gratitude for what you have and to realize everything is a choice, even your mood. You don't have to do anything difficult. Just smile at people. A smile will make someone's day.

    any ideas from introverts?

    Hiking! Going to a coffee shop and reading.. sometime just being around other people can help

    Have you tried running down the street nekid? I'm an introvert and I've found running down the street nekid really perks me up. But, you have to pick the right street.

    I have a billion hobbies. Woodworking, model building, puzzles, reading, working out is a big one. There are tons of ways to find your happiness or at least keep yourself occupied until fall classes start.

    I bought a leather bound notebook and made a bucket list. Even something as small as breaking stuff for the hell of it is on there, (I collected old vases and pottery to use as bowling pins). Or as Big as a trip to Quito Ecuador. Anything you want really. I enjoy crossing things off that list. It makes me happy and it's something I can look back at.

    I hate people and I love being alone so I always do stuff around the house. Paint a room, plant some flowers, turn the music on loud and have dog dance parties (I jump around and they chase my feet). Also I like going to thrift stores and finding random things to repurpose. I painted my ceiling in my bedroom on 4th of July. Most people think that stuff is lame but I get excited about it and I also get a workout. Arms and back were sore for days. Will be working my way down the walls this weekend. We just got a house that needs a little work though so I always feel like I have something to do. Long as I have on loud music, I'm pretty content doing anything.

    I hate people too, mainly because 95% of people only want to use you for things you have. It's the sad truth, buttttt, pick up a solo hobby. Photography, get a motorcycle, SxS, dirtbike, ATV, etc. Hobbies are great ways to keep your mind off of things.

    I'm not an introvert; however, I love losing myself in a good book. Maybe find a series you are interested in, or even a topic, and just immerse yourself in it. Finding a book club might be a good way to start opening yourself up as well - discussing a common topic is a great way to break the ice.
