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!

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
