Making The Best of Your "Not so Fun" Day!

Making the Best of Your "Not so Fun" Day! 

By, Ashley Marie 

    Have you ever had a day that was so boring, complicated, or just not exciting? Don't you just wish that days like that could be turned around? Well, I am telling you now, it can happen. All you need is a little ambition, and to pull your adventurous side out of your old dusty hat. 

        I am going to tell you a little story... 

   Yesterday wasn't the best day. It was the first day back to school after a 2-week break for the holidays. All of my classes for that day was boring, and nothing super exciting happened. After school, one of my best friends were driving me home and we were talking about how we wish the day could have been better. When I got home, I just sat around doing nothing attempting to do my procrastinated homework. Then I thought "coffee sounds good right now." (Yeah...total white girls thing right here). I messaged a friend and we went off to Starbucks. Keep in mind this was 7:00pm. We hung out at the coffee shop for an hour and decided to go back to her house to watch some old videos we made around 4 years ago (for 8th grade). After hours of laughing our heads off, I went home. 

   That night was one of the best I have had in a long time, and It never would have happened if I didn't go have coffee with my best friend. 

You see what I am saying here? Just because your day hasn't been the best, does NOT mean that it has to stay that way. By just one text, a phone call, a skype party, or whatever you enjoy doing, it can turn you day around. Now when I look back on yesterday, I don't see it as the boring school day with few emotions, but as a day that I looked back at my past and had a good laugh with one of my oldest friends. 

    So...if you are bored right now, reading this, procrastinating homework, or even thinking about how much of a drag this day has been, then get off your but, log off of the internet, and go have fun! Whatever it is, be adventurous and have a day to remember.

 

       But before you go...here is a tip I have on what to do during and after you decided to turn your day around. 

1. Take Videos of what you did. (here is an example: from yesterday)

    2. Take pictures! (this picture wasn't from yesterday...but a few weeks ago.) 

   

    3. When you get home, write down (in as much detail as you want) the memory. 

For example, for yesterdays memory I wrote what we talked about at the coffee shop, what we ordered, and what we watched back at her house!  

Now whenever I look back at that video and my written down memory, I will remember an evening that I may have completely forgotten about otherwise. 

I hope this post inspiring you to make the best of any type of day! 

Love you all!
