Here I am, a college student still in the transition phase between childhood to adulthood. Some of us can feel stuck because we haven't done anything with our lives yet and failing our Bio final can make us feel like we never will. But, fear not, whether or not everyone around you shows it, we have all been there. So, here are my 6 tips for keeping your head on straight when nothing goes right.

1. Take a deep breath

Take a moment to do the classic stress breathing: in for seven, hold for seven, out for seven. This will start to calm you down and if this method doesn't work, you can always resort to the paper bag. If scientific genius Sheldon Cooper has to resort to bag breathing sometimes you can too.

2. Text it out

Friends and roommates can be a great resource here, just shoot a message to the group chat about how Professor Doe made you feel like a moron when he called on you in class this morning. Odds are they have a funny story or similar experience that will have you laughing about the situation in no time.

3. EAT!

Snickers made a commercial about this. People, we are not ourselves when we're hungry! Sometimes I will notice my mood is a lot more negative when I haven't had a good meal, so go grab a bite with some friends so you can knock this funk out.

4. Make a List

Whenever you feel like you haven't done anything right, take a few minutes and just jot down achievements you're proud of, even if its just winning the third grade spelling bee. Then write a list of the things you have achieved this week even simple things like getting your homework done or showing up to work early. Little achievements and little successes lead to the bigger ones. It's like a gymnast, you don't make it to the Olympics without doing all the little things first.

5. Youtube Fail Videos

Whenever I think I have messed up big time I always find myself gravitating towards Youtube. Youtube skateboarding fails or a fail compilation and soon you will be laughing and being so thankful your life failures aren't a viral video for everyone to see.

6. Call someone with more experience

If you have tried everything you can think of and nothing has perked up your mood yet its time to call someone older than you. Whenever I am feeling down, I always end up calling my grandparents. They have been where I am right now and made it out just fine. Usually, someone older than you, like parents and grandparents, will have a fresh perspective. While you have never been 70, they have been in their 20's, they made it, and so can you. My grandparents always say, "Keep in mind what is a mountain now will look like a bump in the road later."

Overall, we college students are no strangers to failure and thats not going to change anytime soon. Just keep in mind where you are now isn't where you will always be and that the best way to get over something is to just laugh it off. So for now take a deep breath, eat a snack, and laugh about it. You can do this.
