7 Reasons You Need To Pull A 180 On Your Life

In This Article:

Things get stressful, you don't know what you should do anymore. You feel sad and confused. These 7 changes can really help you improve your overall quality of life. It's drastic but helpful.

1. Remove toxic people from your life

No matter how hard it is, no matter how much you love those people, you need to do it. Whether that is your friend group, best friend or your significant other you need to do what's best for you. Even if it means you will be alone until you find other people. It's a must. I did it and trust me, it made me 1000% happier.

2. Invest your time into something positive

I use to sit at home watching Netflix and binge-eat all day. I decided to finally stop and do something better with my life. I decided to actually get up and study at the library so that I wouldn't be distracted. I also decided to join some more clubs and write for Odyssey, all of which have been very nice for my mental health.

3. Re-evaluate what your doing with your life

Maybe you should change your major or change schools or change whatever doesn't make you happy. What do you really want to do with your life? Where do you really see yourself? Wherever you see yourself, make it happen and follow your dream.

4. Spend some time alone

At first, it seems scary to be alone. But once you do it, you see things so much more clearly and learn so much about yourself. I highly recommend spending at least 15 mins alone every day reflecting.

5. Stop worrying about what others think

You'll never get anywhere in life if you always care about what others think. Do you, who cares about what others think of you. As long as you're happy, everything will be okay!

6. Don't waste your time

Time is SO valuable. Don't waste your time being petty or upset. Move on, get over it. Be the bigger person. Someone puts you down? Who the fuck cares? Don't try to rebuttal and show them you care. Be a badass bitch and get through it.

7. Stop being complicated

Miss someone? Call them. Love someone? Tell them. Have questions? Ask. Don't like something? Speak up. If you stop bottling things up, you will feel so much more free and happy. It's scary at first but it's worth it in the end.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
