From The Girl Losing Herself In A Funk

That awful feeling when you just aren't yourself anymore.

From The Girl Losing Herself In A Funk
Skyler Anderson

Recently I have been in a funk. I just don't feel like myself anymore. I don't know what's wrong.

Maybe it's the stress of starting classes again after breaking. Maybe it's trying to work as much as I possibly can. Maybe it's taking on new roles in my sorority. Whatever it is, it bugs me. I get in these moods where I snap at people, I feel bad about myself and my appearance, I have no motivation. But the worst part is, I literally have no idea why I feel this way.

I think everyone goes through these funks where something just isn't right. It's hard. Its hard to figure yourself out and be introspective. It's hard to make yourself feel better again.

Somethings that I do include listening to music, taking hot baths, watching my favorite show, dressing nicer, eating healthier, or picking up an old hobby.

Maybe I will feel better if I just dance around my room for hours. Maybe then I will figure out my purpose and the big issue that's bothering me.

All that being said, stay strong. Know that everyone gets this way sometimes and its normal. Things change in your life and your feelings and emotions will change as well, but you just have to roll with the punches. You'll get back to the place you want to be, I promise. Don't let this feeling win.

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?

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.
