You know when you are in a bad mood and you complain to someone and their response is something like “cheer up” or “be happy” and it makes your day that much worse? It's nearly impossible to just change your mood, but don't you worry your annoyed little heart because I've compiled a list of things that are immediate mood improvers and I guarantee at least one will make you smile.

1. Go to your nearest animal shelter/pet store and hold as many small fuzzy animals as you can

The gif alone will make your heart happy.

2. Watch A Cinderella Story…or at least the last 30 minutes

This movie is the best for when you're feeling down. The end is exactly what you expect and it's exactly what you want. The movie is full of amazingly iconic movie clichés. It's a feel good movie and the best part is every time Austin will choose Sam, making your heart melt once again.

3. Call your mom or your sister or your best friend and just vent

They love you so they are obligated to listen to you complain.

4. Read that one nice thing someone once sent you

There's always that one nice text or letter or whatever it is that someone once wrote you that was incredibly heartwarming and we both know you saved it, so go find it and read it. It'll make your heart warm again and help you remember the people around you are great.

5. STOP LISTENING TO SAD SONGS

Put away the emo Drake and listen to hype Drake.

6. Take a nap

Just restart your day

7. Find something that makes you laugh

“Laughter is the best medicine” sounds so clichés but it’s true. So you watch your favorite episode or The Office, read some dad jokes, watch a cat video, or whatever makes you laugh.

8. Eat lots of cookie dough

When was the last time eating cookie dough made you sad? Never. The answer is never.

9. Take a bath

Break out that bad bomb, light some candles, put on a fire playlist, and have some "Me Time" (but make sure everyone on Snapchat sees your bath time aesthetic).

Everyone has bad days and that’s okay. But you don’t want to waste much time moping around, so use one or all these tips and go out and make the day a good one.

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.
