40 Things To Tell Yourself When You're Feeling Down

Lindsey Wilson

Everyone has those days where they feel as if the world is going to end at any second. Bad grade on a test, lost your job, dog hates you, the list is endless. Here is a list of things to tell yourself when you feel like the world hates you.

1. You're amazing just the way you are.

2. You can't be happy with someone else if you haven't learned to be happy with yourself.

3. Boys may leave you, but chocolate is a drug store trip away.

4. You know more than you think. Trust yourself.

5. Listen to your heart, it knows all things.

6. Your stretch marks do not define you.

7. Every day may not be good, but there is something good in every day.

8. Hold on, relax. The pain ends.

9. Netflix will always be your boyfriend.

10. You are loved.

11. It gets better.

12. A group of cats is called a clowder.

13. Be positive.

14. A group of kittens is called a kindle.

15. Stop complaining and be thankful.

16. Cats make around 100 different sounds.

17. Eating these french fries are not going to kill you.

18. Yes girl, buy two candy bars. You deserve it.

19. No, you do not look fat.

20. No, you're not ugly.

21. No, your stretch marks do not make you any less beautiful.

22. No, you are not a slut.
23. NO, you do not deserve to be treated cruelly.

24. NO, you do not need to stay with him if he's found someone else.

25. Yes, you look good.

26. You do not need to be 90 pounds to feel beautiful. Any body shape and any weight are all beautiful.

27. Money doesn't buy you love.

28. Buy the 5 foot teddy bear, I know you want to.

29. It's okay to be accidentally clumsy, someone will think it's cute.

30. You're not perfect, but it's ok.

31. EVERYONE has flaws.

32. Your belly rolls when you sit are normal, hate to break it to ya.

33. You can do anything you put your mind to.

34. You are strong.

35. You are enough.

36. You're all that and a super sized back of chips.

37. You are NOT stupid.

38. You are amazing.

39. You are loved. (said it twice because it's twice as true)

40. God loves you just the way you are. Boys, money, makeup, education, etc. do NOT define you.

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.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
