I've spent almost a month now very anxious and depressed about the future. I'm constantly worrying about life after college such that it's impacting my daily life: I notice that I'm not as interested in my daily activities anymore. I spend so much time ruminating about what my life will be like after summer.

Well, today I went to the mall and actually enjoyed it! I was a bit worried last night that I'll spend the entire time just worrying about the future, but instead I actually lived in the moment and loved it! My parents and I went shopping for clothes then got burgers and shakes at Red Robin. I enjoyed it so much and it made me realize how there's small bits of happiness to look forward to that I often ignore because I spend so much time worrying. Even though I did start ruminating a bit as soon as I got home, I'm proud that I was able to control my mood in the morning and learn to live in the moment.
