10 Tips To Survive A Bad Day

We’ve all had bad days, whether it be triggered by something small like road rage or something bigger, here are some tips to turn your day around.

1. Listen to music

I personally like to listen to music that I can relate to when I’m in a bad mood or having a bad day, grab your IPod or phone and sing along . You could even dance around your room, the choice is yours.

2. Take a shower

I’ve found that taking a shower after a long day is very relaxing, sometimes I just let the water run down my back and put on my favorite music.

3. Take a walk

Walk around the block, bring your dog, walk with a friend. You could even talk it out with your friend on your walk.

4. Pet an animal

Everybody loves animals! Pet your dog, cat, guinea pig, any animal you have. Dogs love to cuddle and can sometimes even sense when you’re having a bad day. Cuddle with an animal.

5. Journal

Write it out, journaling is a great way to relive stress and get things off your chest.

6. Hug it out

Sometimes we just need a hug to get through our bad days, hug a friend, family member, anybody.

7. Eat

Eat your favorite food! Chocolate, pizza, whatever it is, you’ve had a bad day and you deserve your favorite food.

8. Go for a drive

When I’m having a bad day or when my friends are having bad days, we will pick each other up and just go for a drive. We talk it out and by the end of the drive, we both feel better.

9. Breathe

Practice some deep breathing, take a deep breath and tell yourself everything will be ok

10. Remind yourself, its only one bad day

Someone very close to me always told me when I was having a bad day that I could get through it, even the darkest days only have 24 hours. Tomorrow is a new day. You can and will get through this.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
