Blue Monday will not be blue

It's a fact, stated by Cardiff University in London that the last Monday in the month of January is the most depressing day of the year: otherwise termed Blue Monday. Nights are longer, New Years' resolutions are generally discarded, and debt has accumulated since Christmas.

I woke up this morning feeling disheartened. I'm not sure why. Maybe because my life is at a standstill. I am not officially accepted into university. I am miserable at my job. I am 23 and still living at home. 


But knowing what Blue Monday means, I am determined to not let it bring me down. I do not want to fall into the statistic, so I won't! My life is better than most. I have my health, my amazing boyfriend, a stable job (even though I may not enjoy it), great friends, a loving family, and I woke up this morning to the earth blanketed in a fluffy, fresh layer of snow. So I will get through Blue Monday with a smile on my face. :)
