Hate Lists

This is probably the best thing I ever learned from my high school best friend, Monica. It's not as malicious as it sounds, I promise. A hate list is simply a way to get out all of your angry thoughts and they work surprisingly well. You take out a piece of paper and a pen and start writing. 

Example: 

I hate the color pink. I hate flamingos. They're stupid animals why are they popular now. I also hate pineapples. They are a food you eat, not an accessory. I hate girls and pettiness and college and this state and how boring my German class is and being talked at. (Note: this is not all necessarily true) 

Basically just a chain of things that are currently getting under your skin. It works great 

A) because then you don't have to find a physical person who will listen to you rant 

B) you're not talking to yourself or a stuffed animal or other inanimate object

C) it's a great stress reliever that doesn't require breaking a sweat. 

D) you don't have to worry about offending anyone or giving off the impression that you're a mean, spiteful person. 

Next time you're stressed I would highly recommend trying it. And if you're worried about harming the environment with the paper you'll be waiting, it works just as well in a word document.
