The 2014 Happiness Challenge
8 Lifestyle Challenges for Greater Fundamental Happiness

Here's the deal: There are things we can all do to make our lives healthier and happier. Exercising, sleeping, thinking positively - it's nothing we haven't heard of before. But it's so easy to leave these ideas on the back burner. That's why the MIT Undergraduate Association is excited to host the Happiness Challenge open to all of MIT - graduate students, undergraduate students, staff, and faculty! Grab a friend and try each challenge for one week. Chances are, it'll make you feel awesome!

What are challenges like?

Each challenge narrows in on one happy habit, like sleeping, eating well, or altruism. The mission is to take each habit and apply it to your life for one week.

What are the perks?

With research behind all of our challenges, you'll learn more about why certain habits are good for you! We'll also have a bunch of events and prizes to keep you all motivated, chipper, and well-fed throughout the semester.
