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!

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.

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.
