Instead Of Getting Mad, Get Over It Instead

Why get mad when you could be happy instead?

The first thing that comes to mind to write about is feminism. However, that has been super really extremely overdone in the past few weeks.

My first thought is why? Why do people need to make it so known that they do not like something? If someone is going to go to the trouble to learn to knit, spend a few hours knitting a pink hat, and then wear said pink hat resembling female anatomy, I truly do not think they care if you are not down for their cause.

I’m going to propose a revolutionary new idea about what to do when someone or a group of people do something you don’t like.

Do nothing. Ignore it. Take their activities with a grain of salt, and move on.

I know. How can you go about doing this? Who will write long posts on Facebook and compose endless tweets criticizing these wild animals?

What will you do with all of this free time spent not hating something? Maybe you can spend your valuable and now plentiful time doing things you actually like, and if you can handle it, maybe even love.

Do things you love. Watch movies you like. Only care and rail about things that make you wildly happy.

I’m not suggesting that we all gather in a circle and sing “Kumbaya”, but maybe we can stop putting so much unnecessary effort and just not pay attention to things that cause us distress.

Perhaps with this newly acquired free time, you will rediscover how amazing and beautiful life can be. You will notice the little things, and you will smile at how simple life can be when you make it so.

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
