Everyone knows what it's likes to have a day or even a week where nothing seems to go right. On these days you probably have way too much homework or three midterms to study for. When so much is going wrong and you can't seem to shake off the bad mood, it's important to find something to momentarily distract you. 

Here is what I have found helpful to do on a really bad day. 

1. The most obvious one is get ice cream. Ice cream cures ALL bad things.

2. Watching anything on Netflix.

3. Shopping either online or in a actual store

4. Reading the inspirational stories on Gives Me Hope. It puts everything into perspective.

5. Watching a video of Taylor Swift dancing, because that's a guaranteed laugh. (It also makes you feel good about your own dancing abilities.)

6. Take a nap.

7. Play a practical joke on your parents (not easy when you're away at college but still doable).

Whenever you're feeling like Alexander and you're dealing with a terrible, no-good, very bad day, give one of these seven tricks a try.
