11 Ways To Get Over A Horrible Week

Shake off those bad vibes and get ready for the weekend.

11 Ways To Get Over A Horrible Week
Project Heal

We’ve all had those weeks that started off horribly and just never got any better. Hopefully, those kinds of weeks are few and far between, but in case you need it, here’s a list of eleven ways you can shake off those bad week vibes.

11.) Color

Coloring is a great way to release your creativity and is very relaxing. The great news is that intricate coloring books meant for adults are “in” right now, so you can head down to your local Target and pick one up. Or, you know, grab a Disney princess coloring book, a pack of Crayolas, and go to town. For the more dedicated, you can take it a step further with your own personalized coloring book, which you can get here: http://www.putmeinthestory.com/grown-up-gifts/pers...

10.) Play on a Playground

Playing on a playground can take you back to when you were a kid instantly. I suggest the swings, but others are partial to the merry-go-round. Just don’t get stuck in the slide tunnel!

9.) Look at Pics/Vids of Cute Animals

Here are some to get you started!



8.) Go Out With Your Friends

Sometimes a party is just what you need to start your weekend off right. Throw in some great friends and your weekend is already turning out better than that horrible week you just had.

7.) Go For a Jog

Bonus if there’s a scenic lake (or cute boys) to run by.

6.) Have a Movie Night With Your Friends

I suggest The Longest Ride because nothing says “goodbye, bad week blues” like Scott Eastwood shirtless, am I right?

5.) Cry Into Your Pint of Bluebell Ice Cream

Pro tip: put on a super sad movie (like The Fault in Our Stars) so if someone asks, you can say it’s just the movie’s fault. Sometimes after a bad week, you just need to cry. Once you let it all out, you usually end up feeling a lot better.

4.) Go to a Trampoline Park

I’m convinced that trampolines are magical happy-machines. Jumping off a trampoline into a pit of foam blocks or nailing a 14 year-old in the leg during an intense game of trampoline dodgeball is a great stress reliever after a terrible week of cramming for final exams.


3.) Participate in a Little Retail Therapy

Go buy something super cute for yourself and in your budget, of course, to stay away from that icky buyer’s remorse that usually hits me about .02 seconds after I walk out of the store with my purchase.

2.) Call your Mom

Moms have magical powers and can make you feel better about anything. If you don’t live close enough to talk to her in person, I suggest giving her a call; she’ll turn your week around in no time.

1.) Watch Funny Videos Until You Cry

The best way to shake off a horrible week is to laugh…a lot. It’s a proven (by me) fact that if you watch this one enough times, you’ll laugh so hard you cry.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
