4 Things To Do When You Are Feeling Down
http://endfamilyviolence.uci.edu

Just like every other person in this world I have days sometimes weeks where I am just feeling down. Most of the time I just want to be alone and make myself even sadder which, is not a good thing to do. Here are some things that I do when I am feeling down to lift my spirits.

1. Listen To Music.

Music can always either put me in a better mood or make me cry. Therefore, I suggest listening to upbeat music that doesn't make you feel like laying in bed and sobbing into your pillow. Turn on a speaker and blast that shit.

2. Go Out.

Even though youre feeling down and may not feel like going anywhere or being social it is needed. Just sitting in your room being sad is not going to help you feel any better. Everytime I am feeling down I always either have to go for a drive, walk, or just go to a store. I am still having my time but I am getting out of my room at the same time. So go grab a coffee, some food, or have a shopping spree. Or just go to a party and get wasted. (This is a joke.)

3. Pamper Yourself.

This is a major uplifter. When you're feeling good your mood is going to do a 360 for sure. So take a long shower, put on a face mask, drink water (or wine), do your nails and makeup, take some cute pictures and post them EVERYWHERE! You will start to feel a whole lot better.

4. Write/Read A Book/Watch Movie.

Writing has always been a great outlet for me to write when I feel some type of way. I can rant, write about happy memories or sad ones that I just need to get my feelings out about. So if you are like me and always feel like you don't want to bother others with your emotions writing is there for you.

Reading is also great because it can get your mind off of what was bringing you down in the first place. So crack open a good novel and forget about all of your problems. (Or take a nap if that's your thing.)

Watching movies is the same as reading for me. I can just watch a really good movie and it will change my mood completely.

No matter if you're grumpy or sad just try to find at least one thing, not just a person, that you know will always be able to lift your mood. Distracting yourself and staying busy is always the best way to keep you from focusing on feeling down. Keep your head up!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
