How To Get Up When You've Fallen
Quotes Gram

There are days when you feel down, and its as if no one cares, but try to keep these few things in mind:

1. You are worth more than what you're thinking at that moment.

So you had a bad day, or week, or weeks, but you will be okay. It will be tough, but I promise you are not pathetic, or a failure, or trash, you are a wonderful person who should be thinking positively about yourself, not negatively.

2. Take a deep breath, exhale, and think through the situation instead of crying... again.

Sometimes in life, all you need is a good breather. So take a deep breath, hold it, and then exhale. Then when you've calmed down, try to calmly think about the issue again. Logic is always better than emotion in this case.

3. Today may not be your day, but make tomorrow your day for sure.

Making the next day a better one is as simple as treating yourself, or accomplishing small tasks. You would be amazed at how it feels to have a crap week, but by God your room is spotless!

4. Quality friend time > sad alone time.

Being alone and sad are two of the worst things. Try to get out and about and make yourself be social. Being around those you love tend to make you feel better.

5. Hobbies can help cheer you up, and even boost your self confidence.

Good at sports? Like to paint? Hobbies are a great way to relieve stress, but also teaching someone your hobby or encouraging someone to do the hobby with you can help you get out of that set funk.


6. BUT MOST OF ALL, Never forget that it will pass.

Whatever is bothering you will pass. It will become another day, another memory, another mindless thought. Don't let it haunt you. Instead, make fast with the present. There is so much world to see and explore, and if you let little things hang you up, you'll miss out. So look forward with your head high, and go towards your future with the bright possibilities, not the past with the sorrowful problems.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
