People are always chasing happiness, whether it’s through buying trendy accessories like a Labubu or unplugging from social media. Two Northeastern University students thought: Why not turn to science to figure out what truly brings happiness and make it a practice in their lives?
Sameerah Nawaz, a fourth-year economics and business student, and Nishita Vyas, a fourth-year business administration student, decided to do just this when they founded The Happiness Cup, a new student organization at Northeastern dedicated to spreading joy and promoting the science of happiness.
“A large part of our proposition is not that it’s necessarily difficult for people to be happier in their day-to-day lives, but rather that there’s a large wealth of research out there just not compiled in one area,” says Vyeas. “We would love to be that one-stop place for students on campus and staff and other people where they can get all that information from us.”
