12 Ways To Vent Your Anger

Often, anger is not regarded as socially acceptable. People might see it as irrational or violent, but that doesn't mean we don't all get angry and need some way to cope. When it seems like your whole life is ticking you off, try these ways to deal with inevitable anger.

1. Crank some music

Picking loud music that you can use to focus on and shut everything else out can make sure that no one can say anything to further upset you.

2. Write a letter to the person who made you mad

You probably shouldn't send it, but it doesn't mean you can detail exactly how you feel about that person at that moment and how you would like to respond to what they did or said. Some angry word vomit might make you feel better.

3. Exercise

Physical activity can get you in shape and prevent you from hurting someone all at once! That's so handy.

4. Talk to a trusted friend

By talk, I mean rant.

5. Make something

Sure it might not come out looking great, but angry arts and crafts is surprisingly helpful.

6. Shred some old t shirts

Instead of making a thing, you can destroy a thing. Have some old shirts that you were going to throw out and replace anyway? Put them to good use before tossing them!

7. Yell at your stuffed animals

Imagine they’re the person or persons in question. Sure, you might adore your stuffed toys, but they’ll get over it. This also works with a pillow.

8. Get a coloring book

I am 100 percent confident that coloring can fix all problems. Bonus points if it's a swear word coloring book.

9. Have some of your favorite snacks

Food is a great distraction. Snacks are life.

10. Have a nap

Do this in conjunction with the two tips above, and it should work like a charm. Basically, be a kindergartner.

11. Learn a new language

This is for those slow-burning angers. People might not know what you're saying about them if it's in a foreign language. It's great!

12. Throw a fit

Because sometimes being a mature adult isn't working. Although, it is suggested that you throw this fit in private.

Everybody gets angry, or even furious, at times. Hopefully one or a combination of these tips can help you deal!

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.
