8 Ways To Cope With Sadness

Image
DISCLAIMER : I am not a licensed therapist, nor do I have any expertise in the field. I am  not  diagnosed with anxiety or depression. I am simply talking from the experience of someone who just gets sad a lot and needs distractions to improve my mood. If you feel like whatever you are going through is more serious, seek professional help (i.e. a licensed counselor/therapist).  I've been feeling down lately and one thing that I've learned to make myself feel better is to just get my mind off the sadness. So if you're feeling down, here are some ways to cope with it, even if it's just temporary! 😊 1. Think of all the worse situations you could be in instead. Sometimes I get depressed for really dumb reasons (in my opinion) so I always remind myself that my life could be a whole lot worse. I could be sick and dying, homeless, etc. 2. Watch something that makes you happy. I recently watched all six seasons of Friends and nothing on television has made m

On November 8th 2016, Donald Trump was elected the 45th president of the United States of America. Some people are happy. Others are shocked and scared. In total disbelief. And believe me, I am in total shock as well. I have been thinking a lot about it today, and guys. Not all hope is lost. Here's why: In the United States, no president can just build a wall blocking an entire country from entering. Other people (Congressmen, senators, representatives, etc, etc) have to agree and vote on it. You can't just do it because you're president. Everything is voted on. As much as it looks like this presidency is a going to be a dictatorship, it's not. We are a democracy. The people have say in what happens here. Just like building a wall, the president of the United States cannot just ban an entire religion or race of people from entering the country. A president can't just be like, "Hey I don't want this religion in my country so I'm banning it becau

I Don't Know Fashion (IDKF): Leather Leggings

I went to a small concert Friday night and I really wanted to wear these new leather leggings that I got from Forever 21 (will be in my next favorites post) which I'm kinda obsessed with. I feel like leather pants are more appropriate for a party or a night out than for a lowkey concert, so to make the outfit more casual, I wore this top which is a limited edition t-shirt that Grace Helbig released earlier in the summer paired with these slip-on platform sandals from H&M (mentioned in a previous favorites post) . I liked how it looked because it definitely looked more casual but at the same time kinda put together if that makes any sense?? as usual, I don't know how to model so these are actual candids because the posed ones looked worse lol   THE OUTFIT : Top : Grace Helbig's limited edition t-shirt Leather Leggings : Forever 21 Shoes : H&M Purse : the same purse that I always use from Behind the Glass (I need a new purse clearly) Bracelet : It

People will use you for their benefit. It’s up to you to decide how to react to it. 12. Boys look better in real life than on social media.

GUYS. I didn't post at all this month. I'm so sorry!!! For two reasons: One, I did not have as much time as I anticipated to write. I was in Michigan all summer and now I'm back in Auburn and classes are in full swing (pray for me) . And two, I actually have a lot of posts written up in my drafts but I don't feel like they are 100% perfect yet and I don't want to post trash on here. I want it to be just my best and not content that I'm posting because I feel obligated to. BUT ANYWAYS. It's that time again... July and August favorites! I feel like time just keeps going faster and faster. Didn't I just post my last favorites?! Here are some of my favorites for the past two months. And I'm emphasizing on the SOME because there are so many, but this post would be way too long. I got a lot of stuff over the summer, so if you guys would rather me do a youtube video haul of everything I wouldn't actually mind doing that! Black Booties I got these b
