5 Things You Can Do By Yourself To Cheer YOURSELF Up

Being alone doesn't mean that you have to feel lonely.

I used to feel dependent on other people and felt that I couldn't do fun things by myself. But that is completely not the case, you can do anything that you want alone. I think one of the saddest traits a person can have is making their happiness dependent on another person. It's not hard to do things alone, so just try it out.

1. Go see a movie! 

Workers at the movie theatres completely have no care in the world whether you're there alone or with someone else. Also, movie goers don't care, either. I love seeing movies alone, especially when I want to see something that other people are groaning about seeing with me. Also, if you're going alone, then you can see a cheap matinee and save money!

2. Paint.

You can literally go to Painting with a Twist and paint a masterpiece for about $30. It's also BYOB friendly, so you can drink and paint your loneliness away. I 10/10 recommend planning this in advance though because you don't want to paint anything that you don't like.

If you don't want to go to a studio, then you can go grab your paints and follow an online tutorial.

3. Pottery. 

There are places like Color Me Mine that allow you to paint any piece of pottery of your choosing! You can turn this act into a gift for a family member with ease, and it's fun to do!

4. Go shopping.

Buy a new outfit to make you feel better! You don't need to find anything to look good for someone else, but find something to make you feel good about yourself.

5. Binge watch a new series.

You can watch a series that you've never heard of on Netflix or Hulu. I 10/10 suggest trying "Black Mirror" on Netflix to start. I fell in love with the series right away! You could even rewatch something. Nothing against that!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
