We grow up and realize that life is not easy. The pressures, daily worries, then the failures, frustrations and expectations of other people weighed heavily on our shoulders. How many times did you wake up and wondered: "What the hell am I doing with my life?". How many times have you ended a long day and felt empty, unhappy and sad? Then just simply sit down and read these 24 tips to help you feel better.

Constantly learning every day.

Reading, listening, cultivating and understanding will help you get more perspective of life. At the same time, it helps you stay away from your own troubles. You don't have to read a book every day but try to learn from your own mistakes and from people around you. Learn from your family and parents, too. There are many things to learn every day that you have never noticed!

Spend time with people you love.

No matter how busy you are, don't forget to spend a part of your day meeting and chatting with people who mean something to you: your parents, friends or even your pet. And remember, don't you ever forget your family! Every relationship in this world is a test, only family is forever

Enjoy small things.

The tragedy of this age is that everyone is chasing after great values, flashy and expensive things that they sometimes forget: happiness is made up from the simplest, closest things. A peaceful morning with your favorite song, a tight hug for your dearest one or just a 15-minute strolling in a park near your house and breathing in the fresh air. Now do you really know how to enjoy life yet?

Learn to step into each other's shoes.

Troubles and worries can make you sometimes become mean and selfish with people around you. Remember that everyone has their own problems, they don't say it doesn't mean that they're fine. So why can people put away their troubles to treat you well, but you can't do the same thing to them. Try to step into the opponent's shoes, feel what they are feeling and open your heart. If you keep on being selfish, don't blame that later, suddenly you look back, there is no one standing beside you.

Treat people well.

Ok, I understand that nobody can be friendly for the whole life. And I have no intention of asking you to turn into a Blue Fairy - someone who can smile and understand everything no matter how terrible the opponent is. You have the right to be angry, the right to annoy, but in the end, don't behave like the way people did to you. They are mean to you doesn't mean that you have to be the same! Be nicer than them! Just do that, meaning you are much better than the others.

More adventures!

Have you seen anyone who is shy and become successful? Definitely no. Do you want to live a failed life full of regrets? Probably not. Then you know what you need to do!

Create something new every day.

Live is constantly creative. Writing books, practicing music, cooking - whatever! As long as you can make new things and make yourself useful. Those things that seem to be meaningless, one day will be gathered and then created great things that you will never expect.

Release yourself from the past.

Look back on what happened to learn and get lessons for yourself is a good thing. Just don't immerse in the past. Usually there will be 2 cases: 1 is that you will fall asleep in the victory, or 2 will regret and torment forever

Remember: Money is not the point!

Agree that money is a very important part in life, and it will be hard to live comfortably and happily when you live but only have ten dollars in your pocket. But don't let money become an obstacle, preventing you from achieving to your dreams. Focus on cultivating yourself and trying non-stop. That is when you know you're truly successful

In fact, there is no way to avoid injuries, pains, and failures during our growing-up. But to know how to improve yourself, try your best, and then you will see how much easier life can be.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.
