We live in a world where it feels like you're going to end up being a conformist no matter what you do. You wake up in the morning, take a shower (hopefully), sip your morning beverage, come home and indulge yourself deep into a series on Netflix. You're stressed out, tired, you don't understand how your Facebook friends seem to be living carefree lives of constantly doing cool stuff and taking Instagram photos in sparkly bikinis. You're beat down, plum tired of the daily shuffle.
Even though you're working to nail your own coffin together, so to speak, there are several things that you can do to make yourself feel more bad ass, even if you're nothing close to bad assery like myself. Indulge in these things, make them your own, suggest them to our fellow wimps of the world.
10) Go Commando For A Day: Take those panties off! No matter if they're a thong, boxers or boy shorts, get them outta here. You might feel awesome, and you might feel dirty, either way you're cheating the system. Sit at your desk and think about how no one knows you're baring all underneath your khakis. Only fabric is between you and mooning your boss. You'll feel great!
9) Quote Your Favorite TV Show All Day: Challenge yourself by only saying things that were said on your favorite TV show, web series, movie, etc. You've seen every scene, every episode at least 10 times, you can do it! The quotes can range from funny, dramatic, or just plain stupid! Its the principle of the thing is what matters.
8) Laugh At Bitches: Everyone has a girl that they can't stand. This girl is either really attractive or really mean, or both. Not to condone cyber bullying, but a way to make yourself feel less intimidated by them is to go through their Facebook photos, find the most awkward one, and have yourself a good 'ole chuckle. Count how many disgusting PicNick-ed or Photoshopped boyfriend pics they have, or look at pictures of them back when they first got Facebook. It's truly rewarding.
7) Mimic Someone: Personally, I would choose someone that I know very well. While they are telling you a story or asking you a question, try and say everything they're saying AT THE EXACT SAME TIME. The key to this funny prank is watching the lips of the person you're speaking to. He or she will eventually become frustrated and you will have quite a laugh!!!
6) Go To A Restaurant Just for apps' and 'serts: My best friend and I often go to a restaurant hot spot and get appetizers and desserts. Why not? Usually you spend all of your time worrying about a main entree, why not pay some attention to these menus? So delicious, so sinful, so worth it.
5) Pretend To Know Spanish: You know you haven't spoken Spanish since your Junior year of high school. For some reason, people seem to get really turned on when they hear people speaking it though! Say random words that you remember from your class like zapatos, primavera, legchuga. You will have many eating out of the palm of your hands, especially when you're brownish like me and people think its real.
4) Yell Out Lyrics to Your Favorite Song: Whether you're at the club, in your room or in your car, it always feels good just to scream sometimes. I'm a person who has a lot of pent up emotion and releases it awkwardly through acts of self deprecating anger. Instead of shredding your jeans that you've gotten too fat for with your teeth, sit alone in a place where hopefully no one can hear you. Scream your guts out, not literally that would be gross, but just take advantage of the moment and make a whole scene out of the act. You will feel so much better, trust me.
3) Buy Someone A Present: It doesn't matter who its for, your mom, roommate, significant other (gross), but just buy an important person in your life a gift. How awesome does it feel when you purchase or make if you're super creative, present. The look on that person's face is priceless. I call that look the "it" look. I imagine that's what love looks like when someone completely loves you unconditionally. Make someone feel loved and you might even get loved back.
2) Read: My parents both are avid readers and I attribute them with my love and skills for reading. My mother always told me that if I wanted to become smarter I should read everything, every book I laid my hands on, every piece of literature that flew my way. Look up best sellers, classics, or have a friend recommend a good novel to you. Reading is a great way to relax and learn new things.
1) Have Faith: Whether its in a religious figure, humanity, yourself, whatever. Just believe in something being good. If you go through life thinking everything is evil or no good you might become jaded and just go through the motions of life with no purpose. Having faith in something doesn't mean that you have to be religious. As I mentioned earlier, it doesn't matter what it's in, just treat others with respect, LOVE YOURSELF and serve your neighbor willingly.
Congratulations, grasshopper. You are now liberated.
