Here is to getting out

So You Have Been Feeling A Little Down
Pinimg

Have you been in some weird kind of funk where the things you love to do slowly occur less often, when the music you are used to and the movies that cheer you up when you are having a rough day does not quite get the job done. You feel like you are kind of slowly losing yourself and have to rebuild everything that you are accustomed to. You begin to lose sleep, eat less, stress more and become well more unproductive. So, how do you get out of this funk because all you want is to get back to what you are use to and back to normal you?

Well, the first thing I think that is best for everyone is to carry on with your everyday activities. Whatever is happening that is throwing you into this strange funk you have to carry on because no matter what life keeps happening and you have to keep living. Also, remember that some days are better than others and it is okay to not be okay - just keep going.

The second thing - do not keep yourself down. Whatever is holding you down, get rid of it. Whenever the negative is overcoming the good it needs to go. Maybe it's people, a hobby, a tragic event or anything that is making you feel so down and out of sync with yourself.

Third - if you are the one who is holding yourself down then it's time that you find someone to talk to and find someone to help you live the extraordinary life that you deserve. Find someone who can lead you down the right path of becoming the person you are looking for.

Sometimes after being in these funks where you kind of lose your way from who you were and from where you want to go, you find yourself becoming a new person who you might not want to be. The best thing to do is to accept that you have changed and become the better version of you.

Maybe this is a sign telling you to find new passions in life, the things that you could love and get you through all the tough times. Who knows, you might find a passion in working out, cooking, reading anything that makes you realize how great life is and how you need to take advantage of everything life has to offer you. Or maybe it is finding your way to a new city, town or country or even getting a pet because everyone knows a pet is always going to be there and love you unconditionally.

I guess if you are in a funk I understand because I have been there and I am currently there. How I got here was out of my control. So trying to find your way back is a little more difficult and you have no idea how to face it. To be honest I am still trying to find my way back but the key is to keep living and to know that ever yday is worth it. The other key is surrounding yourself with the people who want nothing but your happiness.

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.

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.
