How to Spiral Into the Void
7 things that happen once in a lifetime

It's the holidays! You know what that means: red and green, christmas music, a surplus in spending, dangerous weather, and seasonal depression. The end of the year means a lot of major things coming to an end and that puts a great amount of pressure onto people. You know the next step is to slip into devastation and become totally unproductive, but you're not sure how. Well look no further because here in this article,you will find so many useful tips and all of your spiraling needs will be met!


1. Reject Social Interaction

(even though you need it)

Re-vitalizing yourself through interaction with people you care about is essential, even for introverts from time to time. AVOID THIS! If you want to take the next step and spiral you can't risk re-vitalizing. So if anyone invites you to do something, politely decline. Maybe someone is lingering at your door because they don't have plans and maybe want to spend time with you (no pressure, just co-existing), smile as you close the door in their face. You never want to appear rude, just polite and ambiguously busy. A key factor in suffering is that you must do it alone and never let on that you may be facing rough times.


2. Barely eat

(and when you do, it's not good for you)


You've already accepted your decent into an unhealthy lifestyle, so go all in. Sure you haven't eaten all day but this half slice of pizza will get you through the rest of it. As your emotions tear you up from the inside allow your stomach to do the same. Be sure to take things out of proportion as you down size your proportions.


3. Nullify all emotion

(you can keep like two)


On a scale of one to ten, turn the knobs of your emotions down, and just go ahead and pull the knobs off. To someone looking to ride the spiral, emotions can be dangerous. Because they allow you to live and experience life authentically; and we can't have that. Choose one or two emotions that you can fake well enough so that people don't suspect something. Some popular ones to choose are happiness or humor because a smile distracts from the sorrow in your eyes never lies.


4. Seek Counseling

(if this sounds relatable)


Counseling can be great for a spiral. But since this article is trying to do the opposite; let's just move on to the next tip. (I write satire but I thought I'd just throw this out there on a serious note. It won't happen again, very sorry)


5. Find a pit

(spiral into it)


We've come this far we might as well take it literally. Find a hole and just let the depression well up and just flop on into the hole. lol

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
