Post "Event" Depression & How To Get Rid Of It☁︎

So if you read my last post about the SLAM concert, you could probably tell that I enjoyed it very much. In fact, I've been looking forward to that concert for a really long time. Recently, I've been feeling a little down, so that's where post event depression steps in. This isn't the first time something like this has happened, so I kind of know my way around this problem. For other people who get upset that a major event has already passed, I am going to give you ways to get rid of it!

1) There is always something after a major event. Look forward to that! If you can't think of anything, there's always the weekend! Even if the future event is far or not going to happen for another six months, you can always look forward to that. For example, am I not the only one looking forward to Mockingjay Part 1, which is coming out in November? Look forward to the small things, and don't dwell on the past. If you are seriously out of ideas, and you like reading my blog, then look forward to my blog posts! *wink wink* :D

2) If you took pictures or videos of the event that has passed, take a quick look at the videos or pictures, it'll make you feel like you're there!

3) Read, watch a movie, clean your room/house, DO SOMETHING that'll get your mind off of the past event. For me, well, I have school, so that takes my mind off of the topic of about eight hours. My point is, do not be bored.

Well, I hope you enjoyed this post and found it helpful! ♡

SLAM Concert

I recently went to a Bollywood concert called the SLAM Concert, and I cannot express in words how much I enjoyed it. I got the opportunity to see famous and legendary people in the Bollywood movie industry such as Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, and many more. There was a lot of dancing, music, and the actors were really funny! After the concert, I just remembered how much I loved Bollywood, because I used to watch Indian movies when I was little, but I rarely watched them until now. If you're new to the Indian culture or love watching foreign movies, I encourage you to watch a Bollywood movie, whether it's on Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, or borrowed from the library. I hope you enjoy the trailer I created regarding the concert!

Thanks for reading and watching,

What's on my iPhone ♥ ☮

I don't know if it's just me, but I love looking at other people's phones (that might've sounded a bit creepy) to see what apps they have, how they organize their phones, what media they have, etc.

So today, I'm going to tell you what apps I use the most, how they've helped me, how I organize the apps, what wallpapers I use, and more! Also, most of the apps I have are free, but if they have a price, I'll let you know. I hope you find this blog post compelling and helpful for your phone. And please let me know in the comments what favorite apps you love!

Firstly, here is my wallpaper. Hopefully, you can sense a theme going on. As some of you know, I have a passion for traveling, so I found this in an app (which you'll find out about soon enough), and I immediately fell in love with it!

A Vibrant Evening

After a long and boring Saturday afternoon, I decided to get out of my house and go somewhere. Anywhere. And this is what I ended up seeing. *Sigh* I love sunsets. 

Have a good day!

High School Survival Guide

Hey CityLover readers!
I recently started high school, and I'll admit, I hate it. So I decided to write a post for other teens struggling with this problem, but also for myself.

STUDYING
1) Flashcards help me a lot when I'm studying for a test. Because I truly despise writing, I downloaded an app called "StudyBlue", which is an online flashcard maker. You have to have wifi to create cards, but you can study offline.

2) If I have a quiz over one section of my textbook, I'll either read or skim the section one more time, making notes on a sticky note and plastering it on the page/section of the page it's referred to.

3) Have a friend over and study together! If you think you guys are going to get distracted, study with a parent (like what I do). They might push you past your study limit, but that's what parents do!

SOCIAL PROBLEMS
1) First of all, ignore everything everyone says. Yes, I know it's easy for me to say, but I go through this everyday, and I try to be happy and think about the positives.

2) Don't be too nice. You heard me. I've tried being nice all my life, but it hasn't gotten me anywhere. Instead, of other people being nice to you back, they might start picking on you, so always have a few witty comments up your sleeve. But on the other hand, don't be a bully either! Be kind most of the time, but when YOU start to feel bad, YOU have to stand up for yourself.

3) Talk to a trusted friend or parent about your problems. They'll listen, and do everything they can to comfort you. If you don't want to talk to anyone, I got a free app called "Day One" (it might not be free anymore, but I don't know), and it's kind of a journal app. It sounds kind of cheesy, but it helps.
