Every success—from scholarships won to the spot you snagged on the track team or that perfect presentation—will make you incredibly happy and, unsurprisingly, boost your emotional well-being. Supporting the success of your friends is also important, as it boosts their emotional health—and yours too. It creates a sense of optimism and abundance on both sides: when you watch someone you care about excel at a task or hit their goals, it feels energizing and inspiring to you, while having you celebrate their accomplishment makes that person feel even better about what they have achieved. And as you make connections in your program or field of study, you’ll meet people who will be forever grateful and glad that you took the time to celebrate their wins in those studies—and will do the same for you.
