7 Things To Do When You're Having A Bad Day

Sometimes our day doesn't always go the way that we planned, and we end up crabby or in a weird mood. First of all, that's totally okay. We're allowed to mess up or feel upset every now and then! Second, just don't let whatever it is that's brought you down, keep you down. You deserve to be happy. So, when those days come where you get down and need a little pick me up, here are some things that you can do to turn your day around.

1. Watch your favorite movie

This is something that definitely helps me feel better after a long day, especially when my friends join me and we end up laughing and talking more than actually watching the movie.

2. Make time for the things you enjoy

Life gets busy, but you can always find time to do the things you enjoy. Whether it's something you're really good at or something that you just started doing, make time for it.

3. Spoil yourself

That's right, you go eat that donut or drink that coffee. You deserve it. Go to Walmart and buy some fuzzy socks or go get some ice cream. Don't be afraid to indulge and treat yourself every now and then.

4. Snuggle up with a blanket and a good book

This is always my go-to whenever I'm feeling down. Books have a way of distracting you or taking you to a whole other world, and the warm and comfy blanket will only add to that experience.

5. Call someone that you haven't talked to in a while

Sometimes calling an old friend or a family member is exactly what we need to cheer us up. Catching up with that person could cheer both of you up, so don't hesitate.

6. Get up and do something

The worst thing you could do for yourself when feeling down, is staying down and feeling sorry for yourself. Get up, and go do something. Head to the movies or go for a run, just do something to make yourself feel better.

7. Reach out to your friends/family

Don't be afraid to reach out to your friends. If they are your true friends, they'll be there for you in your time of need. Sometimes the best medicine is shared laughter with your best friend.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
