Four Ways To Figure Out What's Wrong With You
Noble Direct

Not knowing what is wrong with you is the worst feeling. Recently, I've been getting blood test after blood test to figure out why my body is behaving poorly. I'm not going to get into what's wrong with me, in particular. But it's worrisome, not going to lie.

So here's what to do if you think there might be something wrong with you. Also, I am obviously not a doctor, but this is what I've been doing. Take this list with a grain of salt and please see an actual doctor. Naturopaths don't count, in my honest opinion.

1. Write Down What You Eat

This one is easy, maybe your diet is making your body work harder than it needs to. Gluten issues, dairy issues? Anything is possible. Technically, cow milk really isn't for human digestive systems, so cheese or coffee could be making you feel sick more often than you'd like. Also, write down how you feel a couple of hours after your meal! That way, you can narrow down what food is making you feel bad exactly.

2. See an Actual Doctor

This is pretty straightforward. You feel sick? See a doctor. They're more helpful than TV says they are.

3. Calm Down

Stress can really screw with your system. Cortisol is known as the stress hormone and can mess with your digestion, make you bloated, and cause acne. Basically, it's a stress hormone that makes you more stressed out. Try some yoga. Sounds hippy, I know, but it actually works.

4. Your Brain Could Be Causing Your Issues

Sometimes, when you believe something to be true, your brain can make that falsity into a reality. So, again, calm yourself. Your brain is more powerful than you'd think.

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?

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?
