7 Reasons You Need To Pull A 180 On Your Life

In This Article:

Things get stressful, you don't know what you should do anymore. You feel sad and confused. These 7 changes can really help you improve your overall quality of life. It's drastic but helpful.

1. Remove toxic people from your life

No matter how hard it is, no matter how much you love those people, you need to do it. Whether that is your friend group, best friend or your significant other you need to do what's best for you. Even if it means you will be alone until you find other people. It's a must. I did it and trust me, it made me 1000% happier.

2. Invest your time into something positive

I use to sit at home watching Netflix and binge-eat all day. I decided to finally stop and do something better with my life. I decided to actually get up and study at the library so that I wouldn't be distracted. I also decided to join some more clubs and write for Odyssey, all of which have been very nice for my mental health.

3. Re-evaluate what your doing with your life

Maybe you should change your major or change schools or change whatever doesn't make you happy. What do you really want to do with your life? Where do you really see yourself? Wherever you see yourself, make it happen and follow your dream.

4. Spend some time alone

At first, it seems scary to be alone. But once you do it, you see things so much more clearly and learn so much about yourself. I highly recommend spending at least 15 mins alone every day reflecting.

5. Stop worrying about what others think

You'll never get anywhere in life if you always care about what others think. Do you, who cares about what others think of you. As long as you're happy, everything will be okay!

6. Don't waste your time

Time is SO valuable. Don't waste your time being petty or upset. Move on, get over it. Be the bigger person. Someone puts you down? Who the fuck cares? Don't try to rebuttal and show them you care. Be a badass bitch and get through it.

7. Stop being complicated

Miss someone? Call them. Love someone? Tell them. Have questions? Ask. Don't like something? Speak up. If you stop bottling things up, you will feel so much more free and happy. It's scary at first but it's worth it in the end.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

Blair Waldorf
Stop Hollywood

For those of you who have watched "Gossip Girl" before (and maybe more than just once), you know how important of a character Blair Waldorf is. Without Blair, the show doesn’t have any substance, scheme, or drama. Although the beginning of the show started off with Blair’s best friend Serena returning from boarding school, there just simply is no plot without Blair. With that being said, Blair’s presence in the show in much more complex than that. Her independent and go-getter ways have set an example for "Gossip Girl" fans since the show started and has not ended even years after the show ended. Blair never needed another person to define who she was and she certainly didn’t need a man to do that for her. When she envisioned a goal, she sought after it, and took it. This is why Blair’s demeanor encompasses strong women like her.

singing
Cambio

Singing is something I do all day, every day. It doesn't matter where I am or who's around. If I feel like singing, I'm going to. It's probably annoying sometimes, but I don't care -- I love to sing! If I'm not singing, I'm probably humming, sometimes without even realizing it. So as someone who loves to sing, these are some of the feelings and thoughts I have probably almost every day.
