PLSouthside Scroll did a social experiment where we went up to people in our school building and asked: “What gives you simple joy in your daily life?” – think about this question as you read. The people in this article are your classmates, teachers, and staff members. They are able to find happiness and joy in the little things in their lives, and so can you! Don’t be afraid to be happy with the mundane things in your life, every little moment is so important. With that, live with love and happiness while you can!
