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!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
