We all have those days where we feel like the world is turning against us. Everything and everyone does us wrong in one single day and we feel like the badness is never-ending. Instead of dwelling in the negative of your bad day, there are so many ways to make it a good one.

1. Confiding in a friend

One of the best ways that help us become more relieved and non-stressed is by venting to friends. Even if you can't see them in person, sending them a quick text or giving them a call to vent will totally relieve you of any stress or feelings going on in your mind. The best way to get through tough situations is by getting advice from multiple people about it! Once you have a couple opinions on a situation, you will feel more comfortable dealing with it.

2. Alone relaxation time

Giving yourself some time alone also relieves any anger or tension building up inside you. Just simply relaxing by yourself and calming down from the bad situations happening to you creates a more calming mood and less anger will come out of you. Sometimes you just need a little time to yourself and forget about others for a bit.

3. Spoil yourself

You could also learn to treat yourself! There's no better feeling than spoiling yourself with hard earned shopping, eating or anything else. Taking the time to reward yourself for how amazing you are, needs to be done. This takes your mind off of all the negative going on and lets yourself know that you do deserve good things.

4. Personal activities

You could also do certain activities to take your mind off of your bad day. Distract yourself and maybe try cleaning up your room. A clean room immediately turns your mind relieved. You could also go out and do the things you love in life. This could be walking around nature paths, bike riding, swimming or just being outside. Being in the outdoors and smelling the fresh air does help clear your mind and also is good for your body.

5. Physical fitness

A personal favorite stress-reliever is working out. Whenever working out, all of the negative energy have stored up inside me goes away, and there are feelings of being refreshed and renewed. You also don't need a membership to a gym to be able to exercise. You and a workout buddy can go inside or outside and work on some routines. You could also run outside, which is an extra bonus because you are also enjoying the outdoors. Once you become more physically active, you will have a refreshed body and mind.

Just because you are having a bad day, doesn't mean it has to end that way. There are so many things you can do that can help with relieving your stress or negative energy within. Try a couple of these out next time and see if they work!

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
