5 Things You Can Do By Yourself To Cheer YOURSELF Up

Being alone doesn't mean that you have to feel lonely.

I used to feel dependent on other people and felt that I couldn't do fun things by myself. But that is completely not the case, you can do anything that you want alone. I think one of the saddest traits a person can have is making their happiness dependent on another person. It's not hard to do things alone, so just try it out.

1. Go see a movie! 

Workers at the movie theatres completely have no care in the world whether you're there alone or with someone else. Also, movie goers don't care, either. I love seeing movies alone, especially when I want to see something that other people are groaning about seeing with me. Also, if you're going alone, then you can see a cheap matinee and save money!

2. Paint.

You can literally go to Painting with a Twist and paint a masterpiece for about $30. It's also BYOB friendly, so you can drink and paint your loneliness away. I 10/10 recommend planning this in advance though because you don't want to paint anything that you don't like.

If you don't want to go to a studio, then you can go grab your paints and follow an online tutorial.

3. Pottery. 

There are places like Color Me Mine that allow you to paint any piece of pottery of your choosing! You can turn this act into a gift for a family member with ease, and it's fun to do!

4. Go shopping.

Buy a new outfit to make you feel better! You don't need to find anything to look good for someone else, but find something to make you feel good about yourself.

5. Binge watch a new series.

You can watch a series that you've never heard of on Netflix or Hulu. I 10/10 suggest trying "Black Mirror" on Netflix to start. I fell in love with the series right away! You could even rewatch something. Nothing against that!

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
