Coping With Post-Ultra Depression

We came, we raved, we conquered.

Coping With Post-Ultra Depression
UltraMusicFestival.com

For about a year now (since the last Ultra Music Festival) you've been waiting for this moment. You spent hours making Kandi bracelets and planning outfits along with spending your entire life's savings on tickets. Now that UMF is finished, what do you do now? It's like you have nothing to live for anymore. You have to wait 365 days until the next one. But until then, try to recuperate from this one.

After this weekend, you're probably not on your A-game. You're most likely exhausted, dehydrated, hungry and possibly brain dead. So a good thing to start with during the week after Ultra, is to drink a lot of water, detox with healthy foods, get plenty of rest and start getting yourself back into the school mode.


Class on Monday was probably not an option. You've probably slept all day and are contemplating whether you should take Tuesday off as well. But the sooner you get back into the groove, the sooner your body and mind will start to normalize itself.


The weekends after will seem excruciatingly boring. They will seem like just normal weekends, filled with the usual stuff you do like parties or hanging out (pretty regular college-weekend activities). The nostalgia of your past weekend is creeping up by the second.

For those who went for their first time, you now can decide whether raving was for you. It's always good to try new things and it's super beneficial to discover what your preferences are and what they aren't. Some people may have found that Ultra really wasn't for them. I mean, it is very energy consuming.

For those of you who went and loved it, you can now start saving your money for next year. You can even start the process of planning your outfits (it's never too early).

So you raved your little butts off and now it's time for a long, deep slumber. Responsibilities have never seemed so brutal but just keep in mind that there are so many other wonderful music festivals out there that fill up the entire year. So don't get too tired yet!

College is supposed to be one of the best times of your life. However, it is also one of the toughest transitions to make.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
