If you’re anything like me, it’s safe to say there are some days, weeks even, where it seems like you just can’t escape loss after loss. Whether it’s a bad grade, a drunk text you shouldn’t have sent (but whoops finger slipped), or even tripping on the sidewalk, it can be hard not to feel like life has it out for you.

So, what do you do when sh*t seems to hit the fan one too many times? You laugh it off. Here are some of my favorite ways to turn the negatives into positives:

1. Tell your friends

Bringing your friends in on the latest “L” you’ve taken is my personal favorite way of making myself feel better. Not only do they reassure you that what happened isn’t the end of the world, but you also get an ab workout in from laughing so hard… so it’s really a win-win!

2. Follow “MyTherapistSays” on Instagram

Honey, if you haven’t done this already you’re missing out. Not only is it freakishly relatable, but every unfortunate event that could possibly happen to you is on that sh*t. It’s literally the Willy Wonka of taking L’s, except instead of chocolate bars you get an endless supply of memes that make you feel a little less psycho.

3. Who cares?

Alright, it happened. You did something stupid, or something crappy happened to you, whatever. Get over it! Move on! Who cares! Seriously, who. Cares. In the grand scheme of this thing we call life, what is one bad grade, one stupid text (or 1000), one rejection, one mistake? Nothing, literally nothing. Get on with it.

Again, in the words of the beloved Hannah Montana, “Everybody makes mistakes. Everybody has those days. Everybody knows what, what I’m talkin’ ‘bout everybody gets that way.” With this advice from myself, and Hannah of course, you’ll feel much better about everything that seems to be going wrong in your life. Bottom line is if you can’t cry, then laugh!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
