Life isn't always as easy as it seems. While you may be having a wonderful day, there is a person who may be having an awful day and nothing seems to be going right. The best thing for you to do is help. Reach out a hand, offer advice, just be there. Help in every way you can because we are all on this crazy, eventful rollercoaster that we call life. So for the person who may be going through a rough time right now, this is for you.

It's okay to feel the way you are feeling. Feelings are a part of our emotions, and our emotions make up who we are. You wouldn't be yourself without feelings. Whatever you are going through, I'm sure it's not just an exaggeration or overreacting, like many people tend to conclude about someone in a bad mood. It's normal to not love life ever day because, face it, life doesn't always go as planned. Bad days are just part of it, and your feelings do matter. You are important. There are some people who do not have good support systems at home, so it is necessary for you to remember that you are important. I feel like sometimes people cannot understand where you are coming from when you share your feelings with them, and for this exact reason, my advice is to write a journal. I know what you're thinking, journal entries are so overrated and "I don't have a diary". Writing a journal doesn't have to be something that you keep up every day, just write whenever you're upset or angry. It will help you get a better understanding of the real reasons you are upset and may even help you get to the root of the problem so that it can be resolved. You can even write a letter to whomever you are conflicting with and just not send it. That always helps me.

So what if writing isn't for you? Well, I'd advise you to eat some ice cream or watch a movie. The best thing for you to do is take your mind off of the problem, that way you aren't constantly dwelling on it. If you continue to dwell on your problems, you'll most likely just make yourself more upset. When that mind starts going sometimes it doesn't know when to stop. So keep yourself busy. Sometimes it even helps to put everything on the "back burner" for a little while. If you give yourself the mentality that "I'll just handle it later", you can prepare yourself so that it won't bother you as much later on.

Don't let sadness or depression take over you. Remember who is in control. I know it may seem easier to let yourself go and let the pain and depression take over, but don't take the easy route. In time, your days will get better and things will get easier. Sometimes it's easier to just "Let go, and let God", if you turn to your religion for healing. Do things that bring you joy and happiness and don't surround yourself with negativity. Be with people who bring you up and ultimately bring out the best in you. There will always be someone that cares. Don't let the troubles and hard times get the best of you, look forward to the days ahead. And when you finally get there, you can look back and silently say to yourself, "I did it". You couldn't get to where you are today without yesterday.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
