What do you do to cheer yourself up?

Take a shower, even if it’s my second shower of the day.
I clean and organise. You have NO idea how calm this keeps me, or how easily it cheers me up. I just pick a spot and GO GO GO GO GO clean until I’m dead tired or I’m done. Which ever comes first. Cleaning and a clean house (I’m still in high school but it will be the same in dorm suites with suite-mates) keeps me sane. I literally CANNOT think straight, like form coherent sentences if my surroundings are a me.
I put on Show tunes and cheesy country songs and belt them out at the top of my lungs, knowing fully well that I cannot sing whatsoever. Or any other song that makes me happy.
If I get REALLY desperate, I pull out the Babysitters Club books and devour them. I still love them at 17, and probably will for forever.
Black and white movies, especially cheesy horror and sci-fi movies are FANTASTIC as well. I’m always up for suggestions for those.
