Let’s be honest, it’s the holidays that make us “single people” feel the most lonely. While everyone else are in relationships, were not and that can feel really “sucky” at times. I can’t think of any other word to describe how I personally feel than to use “sucky”. Is that even a word? Okay, moving on. Being single can honestly suck sometimes but can suck even more during the holidays because I feel like it’s a great opportunity to post their romantic and cute santa pictures on facebook while the single people stand behind their computer screen watching all the pictures come in through their news feed.  Being the “forever alone”/single AF person that I am, I know how it’s like to deal with being single during the holidays since they can make us all feel a little extra lonely and single if you know what I mean. Here are some of my ways of how I cope with being single during the holidays: Treat Yourself. Buy yourself presents and I know that sounds weird because in my head it sounds like a psychotic person going on a shopping spree, wrapping the presents, and then opening them while crying about how lonely they are. That’s not what I… View Post

Photo by Kiandra. Check out her inspiring Instagram! Sometimes, life can get in the way of life. And if you understood exactly what I meant, then I’m not crazy (yay). Life can be bipolar at times; It’s great at one point, and then sucks the next. Life can just be all over the place and messy. The reason for that can sometimes be because our lives feel messy and disorganized. I can’t tell you that I know exactly how to fix your life, but I know how to make it less messy (if that made any sense). It all begins with cleansing your life completely starting with the small things in your life: Cleanse your social media. This could be your list of facebook friends that you need to go through and delete, or your instagram to delete any pictures you don’t like anymore. I remember deleting ALL of my instagram pictures and having it feel so good because it felt kinda like a fresh start at life. I know that sounds cheesy and dumb of how cleansing my instagram helped but our generation deals a lot with social media and we have to work with what we have. Anything that… View Post

Massey Hosseini’s Instagram For More Pictures Like This: There are so many reasons why you are anxious and stressed out all the time. One reason could be because of the pressures that surround us. I’m sure there are many things that revolve around our everyday lives that can be the cause to our anxiety. However, I think it can be entirely because of us! Here are things you may be doing that are the source of your anxiety and stress! I know what anxiety feels like. Everyone experiences it differently. I experienced anxiety especially in social situations. It’s not constant anxiety, it comes and goes in all types of situations. I start to move my shoulders inward to close my body, I become very reserved, my palms start to sweat uncontrollably, my heart and breathing start to change, I start to lose my thoughts and start thinking negatively, and I end up standing funny, and realize in that whole time that I was focusing on my posture, only a second has gone by. I also for some reason forget how to speak english properly and end up having an awkward conversation with someone. I am a very chatty person so if… View Post

Special thanks to Massey Hosseini for the photo. Check out his rockin’ Instagram! Christmas and New Years are just around the corner, which means that traveling is high in demand! I may not have much experience traveling but last summer my best friend and I were planning for a trip to Europe, and since we were students that were unable to financially support an expensive trip like this one, we planned to make it as cheap as possible. We both gained a lot of experience and knowledge just by researching and planning this trip even though it never happened. Here are my tips to make your travel cheaper: TIMING & FLEXIBILITY For timing, if you’re planning a trip ahead of time, pick flight dates where either everyone is in school or working. Cheap fall dates: Sept-Oct Cheap winter dates: Doesn’t really exist (Dammit, but there’s still hope don’t worry!) Spring dates: Feb-Apr Summer dates: End of September Anytime it’s “work/school season”, flights are cheap You have to be flexible in order to find cheap flights so be ready to get notifications of cheap flights and to leave the next day with your bags. Yes, this is rather inconvenient but imagine the amount of… View Post

Humans are far from perfect so how are you expecting your life to fall into perfection. If we are so flawed, how can we expect life to be flawless? I believe that there is a higher being out there that takes care of us and that our lives are bound to fall into place for our own happiness because I know God loves each and every one of us. But don’t expect your life to be perfect because it doesn’t work like that. You may not be able to control your life completely, but you have all the right to control your mindset and behavior, and that’s what I believe is the most important part of living. Your mindset to tragedy and how you face challenges matters. Do you let problems get in the way of your day or your mood? Do you allow the challenges you go through to consume your life? Do you let people ruin your life? Listen, life is all about choices and you choose to allow something/someone to affect your mood. If you are an unhappy person, that was all up to you to be/act that way. If you are depressed, you choose to be… View Post
