When struggling with your mental health or even just trying to get over a rough day, you have to look at the little wins in life. One thing that always boosts my mood is some good food — something that Chick-fil-A definitely has. So, on a day when you're feeling down in the dumps, treat yourself to your favorite item from Chick-fil-A... just hope it isn't a Sunday!

Here are 11 instances where Chick-fil-A aided my mental health:

1. Having a bad day?

Good thing Chick-fil-A doesn't just serve chicken, but also has some great ice cream selections.

2. Want to do shots but aren't in the mental state to get drunk?

Chick-fil-A sauce it is. Their ranch is also a great sauce. (I'm only half joking here, though I've never done it).

3. Feeling under-appreciated, needy, or sad?

Good thing Chick-fil-A employees are always incredibly nice, and their "my pleasures" sometimes are what you need to hear to get you through the day.

4. Lost faith in humanity?

Just think about the story where a baby was born in a Chick-fil-A bathroom and was blessed with free food for life and guaranteed a job when she becomes of age.

5. Running low on cash and need a quick meal?

Good thing you've been saving up your points on your Chick-fil-A app.

6. Dreading going to an event because you are mentally exhausted?

Thank the Chick-fil-A gods that the event just so happened to be catered by them, taking some of the weight of social anxiety off your shoulders.

7. Overworked and don't feel like cooking even though you are trying to be healthy?

Chick-fil-A has some healthy options for that.

8. Insecure about your overuse of puns?

No one can make fun of you because their favorite restaurant's name is one big pun. Chicken fillet? Grade A food? Double pun.

9. Lack of motivation and inspiration?

Check out Chick-fil-A's blog, https://thechickenwire.chick-fil-a.com, for some good stories, recipes, and dining options.

10. Still looking for a reason to embrace "new year, new you?"

The sauce packings at Chick-fil-A changed, but they still have the same amazing tastes. Just because you want to change something on the outside doesn't make yiu lose any personal value.

11. Not certain how to express yourself?

Buy some Chick-fil-A merch and share your passion via your fashion.

Living Away From Home, As Described By 'Friends'

For better or for worse

Loyola University Chicago

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
