10 Things To Remember On Days That Aren't So Great

Health Saints

Hannah Montana was right… everybody has those days. But what matters is how you react to your not so perfect days. Remember these 10 things and I guarantee your day won’t be so bad anymore.

1. Take what went wrong today and use it to make tomorrow right.

This speaks for itself. There is no reason to carry over today’s problems into tomorrow. Everyday is a new day, with new potential, and new light.

2. What you give to the universe, the universe will give back to you.

If you say you’re going to fail, you will fail. If you say you are going to be sad today, you will be sad today. The universe has more power than we think!

3. What happened that cannot be fixed eventually?

Put your bad day into perspective, is it really going to affect your whole life?

4. Count your blessings not your problems.

Cliché but so important; our blessings are not guaranteed and as quickly as our problems came, our blessings can leave even more quickly.

5. Never underestimate the power of people.

Find your support group around you. Call your friends or family to just talk. Get coffee with your roommate or watch a movie together. Remove yourself from what is holding you down and detox with positive people surrounding you.

6. Stay true to you.

If you are not living outyour beliefs and dreams you are no longer on the journey to YOUR happiness.

7. It’s just one thing.

It’s one test, it’s one person, and it’s one mistake. It’s not the end of the world.

8. Learn what works and what doesn’t.

Work out in the morning to set the mood for the day, or at night to release built up negative energy. Stop hanging out with people who only complain or those who put you down. It’s your life.

9. Anger is passion in the wrong direction.

Your emotions are spurring from somewhere, for something. Use them.

10. If you are not confident in yourself, nobody will be confident in you.

How you feel about yourself translates with your attitudes, body language, ideas and values. Don’t let people put you down because you feel down. Love yourself and that will shine through to the world.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
