Here is to getting out

So You Have Been Feeling A Little Down
Pinimg

Have you been in some weird kind of funk where the things you love to do slowly occur less often, when the music you are used to and the movies that cheer you up when you are having a rough day does not quite get the job done. You feel like you are kind of slowly losing yourself and have to rebuild everything that you are accustomed to. You begin to lose sleep, eat less, stress more and become well more unproductive. So, how do you get out of this funk because all you want is to get back to what you are use to and back to normal you?

Well, the first thing I think that is best for everyone is to carry on with your everyday activities. Whatever is happening that is throwing you into this strange funk you have to carry on because no matter what life keeps happening and you have to keep living. Also, remember that some days are better than others and it is okay to not be okay - just keep going.

The second thing - do not keep yourself down. Whatever is holding you down, get rid of it. Whenever the negative is overcoming the good it needs to go. Maybe it's people, a hobby, a tragic event or anything that is making you feel so down and out of sync with yourself.

Third - if you are the one who is holding yourself down then it's time that you find someone to talk to and find someone to help you live the extraordinary life that you deserve. Find someone who can lead you down the right path of becoming the person you are looking for.

Sometimes after being in these funks where you kind of lose your way from who you were and from where you want to go, you find yourself becoming a new person who you might not want to be. The best thing to do is to accept that you have changed and become the better version of you.

Maybe this is a sign telling you to find new passions in life, the things that you could love and get you through all the tough times. Who knows, you might find a passion in working out, cooking, reading anything that makes you realize how great life is and how you need to take advantage of everything life has to offer you. Or maybe it is finding your way to a new city, town or country or even getting a pet because everyone knows a pet is always going to be there and love you unconditionally.

I guess if you are in a funk I understand because I have been there and I am currently there. How I got here was out of my control. So trying to find your way back is a little more difficult and you have no idea how to face it. To be honest I am still trying to find my way back but the key is to keep living and to know that ever yday is worth it. The other key is surrounding yourself with the people who want nothing but your happiness.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
