<p>What do you do when you're feeling down and just want to be alone esp. with all the friends you know (you don't mind meeting a new person or a new classmate)? </p>

<p>I don't know why but I'm tired with my friends. I hang out with them everyday and it's like lately, I feel like I'm being used and just tired of school :(</p>

<p>Most campus libraries have a basement. Go down there, pick a couch, put in some headphones, and pick up a good (non-depressing) book.</p>

3

<p>Listen to music or watch a favorite movie</p>

4

<p>snuggle with stuffed puppy</p>

5

<p>I stop being sad and just be awesome instead. True story.</p>

<p>^ now that’d be the LEGENDARY way to do it.</p>

<p>But if you want the truth, hardcore scientific experiments have shown that your brain works better on unaccomplished tasks when you’re feeling lonely, bored or depressed. So, lets say you’re behind on a couple of math homeworks on and you’re feeling down on a Friday night, THATS the time to do it, not Sunday midnight. Yes, I read this in Scientific American and yes I regularly read that magazine, thanks for asking you guys. I’ve also tried this on myself and I can somewhat see that my mind does work better and I actually do get the stuff done.</p>

<p>So, do the work that you’ve been procrastinating on!</p>

<p>I would head to the gym and sweat out the sadness.</p>

8

<p>Dance Dance Revolution, reading, music, other exercise.</p>

9

<p>I slit my wrists</p>

</p>

<p>That is very true. Just don’t pick something “too” hard or it could lead to a sense of futility and pointlessness and, well, Cornellyness.</p>

<p>I go grocery shopping because it’s relaxing to me. Sit in a coffee shop alone with a cup of latte and my laptop, surf the web and people watch. I don’t like wallowing in darkness when I feel depressed. It’s more a feeling of wanting to be alone and do quiet activities.</p>
