Everyone has had a moment in their life where they feel like they've failed at what they least wanted to. And with this, comes a rush of inner disappointment and essentially an incredibly low feeling. However, what is there to do once you feel you've 'failed'? instead of not doing anything or anything healthy at the matter?

1. Listen to music

Listening to music can provide motivation and the mood you need to get up and try again. Also, you could find another way to approach your situation to ensure success at its utmost potential to bring a smile to your face and radiate positivity onto everyone around you.


2. Meditate

Breathing and bringing yourself to a state of such placidity could truly aid in reducing levels of stress. Continuously practicing meditation could bring you to such an amazing state of calmness and tranquility. The stress from what you've felt prior will feel like a tremendously smaller factor on your mood, allowing your focus to increase.


3. Exercise

Exercising allow yourself to take your anger or any other connotative negative emotion on building your body. So aside from making gains and running for miles, you'll also allow yourself to feel calmer by the end of your workout. And though you'll wake up the next day feeling all kinds of sore, it'll be a rather satisfying feeling that not only makes you want to workout more, but is a great way to release stress and allowing yourself to recover from it.

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:

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.

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.
