4 Things To Do When You Are Feeling Down
http://endfamilyviolence.uci.edu

Just like every other person in this world I have days sometimes weeks where I am just feeling down. Most of the time I just want to be alone and make myself even sadder which, is not a good thing to do. Here are some things that I do when I am feeling down to lift my spirits.

1. Listen To Music.

Music can always either put me in a better mood or make me cry. Therefore, I suggest listening to upbeat music that doesn't make you feel like laying in bed and sobbing into your pillow. Turn on a speaker and blast that shit.

2. Go Out.

Even though youre feeling down and may not feel like going anywhere or being social it is needed. Just sitting in your room being sad is not going to help you feel any better. Everytime I am feeling down I always either have to go for a drive, walk, or just go to a store. I am still having my time but I am getting out of my room at the same time. So go grab a coffee, some food, or have a shopping spree. Or just go to a party and get wasted. (This is a joke.)

3. Pamper Yourself.

This is a major uplifter. When you're feeling good your mood is going to do a 360 for sure. So take a long shower, put on a face mask, drink water (or wine), do your nails and makeup, take some cute pictures and post them EVERYWHERE! You will start to feel a whole lot better.

4. Write/Read A Book/Watch Movie.

Writing has always been a great outlet for me to write when I feel some type of way. I can rant, write about happy memories or sad ones that I just need to get my feelings out about. So if you are like me and always feel like you don't want to bother others with your emotions writing is there for you.

Reading is also great because it can get your mind off of what was bringing you down in the first place. So crack open a good novel and forget about all of your problems. (Or take a nap if that's your thing.)

Watching movies is the same as reading for me. I can just watch a really good movie and it will change my mood completely.

No matter if you're grumpy or sad just try to find at least one thing, not just a person, that you know will always be able to lift your mood. Distracting yourself and staying busy is always the best way to keep you from focusing on feeling down. Keep your head up!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
