It’s Okay To Not Be Okay

It’s Okay To Not Be Okay
Molly Martinez

Lately, I've just been this weird mood. I don't really know what's going on but it's happening. My friends and I call it a "funk" because what else would we call it?

I understand that sometimes it's scary to realize that you might not be okay but trust me it's okay! You don't always have to be that perfect human person with the perfect life.

Sometimes you get stressed out and life gets the best of you. Now don't get me wrong, I have some pretty good days but lately, it's just been weird.

Let me elaborate on what I mean by "funk". It's basically you just not feeling yourself and being stressed out. Now I've been in a funk for the past couple of months and before you go on telling me to go and talk to someone about my "feelings" I have. Also, it's not that easy to tell someone what's on your mind.

Sometimes I don't even have the words for it. Just ask some of my close friends.

Being in a funk isn't bad at all!! It's perfectly okay to not be okay but I will tell you this.

Everyone has there good days and everyone has there bad days. I'm a firm believer on if you want to have a better day you just have to change your attitude and mindset. I've been doing that lately and it has been working out but it also isn't that easy. My friends especially have been constantly asking me if I'm okay and if I need anyone to talk to that they are there for me.

It's ALWAYS good to have such a great support system.

Now, if you may be in a "funk" right now then trust me I know what you're going through. Just let whatever or whoever is consuming your thoughts go away!

It's not worth your time to be stressing out over something that can change your whole mood. Now I know that's hard to do and trust me I'm still trying to do that but in the end, it'll be worth it because your mental health will be better.

*Sidenote: if you need someone to talk HMU!!!! I'm better at dealing with other people's problems than my own*

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
