Pull Yourself Together

In an unsympathetic world, pull yourself together and get back to life.

Pull yourself together. It's not the end of the world.

All of us have issues, everyone gets their heart broken, and things don't go as planned. But it's not something to sit around and cry about every single day. Sure, cry it out! Wallow! There's no shame in that. But if you keep living like that, you'll never recover from the pain you are enduring. Challenges will always arise throughout your life. It's what makes us become better people. We get educated not only through school and class and homework but mostly from life experiences. If you can't get yourself out of a slump over a guy or even moving on from the fact that you got a 79 and not an 80 on a test, then we have some serious issues here. Life is hard and everyone knows that. I will care for you, I'll lend an ear to talk to, and I'll maybe offer my shoulder to cry on. But after a certain amount of time, I am not sympathetic. I will not give you the attention you crave out of self pity. We are grown so please act like it.

It's time for you to get yourself back up and live. Crying every waking moment is not life! I feel like I would run into poles or get my license revoked from such blurry vision.

So come on, pull yourself together. That boy clearly isn't worth your time. That grade you got will not make or break your career. There is so much out there waiting for you to find it. Life will reward you once you discover all it has to offer So please, look up. Wipe your tears. Put on your RBF and get back to living.

Hang out with your friends, laugh at each other, eat excessive amounts of ice cream, and make sure not to look back on the bad.

Pull yourself together. It's not the end of the world. If anything, it's just the beginning.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
