<p>Changes and new beginnings can make young Filipinas feel intimidated. After all, we live in patterns that when disrupted cause us to drown in overwhelming feelings of discomfort and fear. One best example is the challenging shift from getting cooped up inside our homes to going out with the crowd as the world slowly opens up again. </p><p>And if you’ve been watching your motivation and confidence plummet lately because of this, there’s a chance you’d be feeling “meh” about life too. </p><p>Don’t worry, it’s normal. But you may get back on track and turn the meh feelings into megaaa moments through solid solutions. Here are some relatable “meh” scenarios and how to overcome them. </p><div> </div><div><strong>Lack of enthusiasm at school</strong></div><div style="text-align:center"><img alt="5 meh moments young Pinays can relate to as the world slowly opens up again" src="https://aa1a-dctp-s3-entertainment.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/updates/entertainment/2022/07/06/Entertainment-adverts-5-meh-moments-young-Pinays-1.jpg"/></div><p>Student life is stressful on its own.

Dry convo, yikes! There are some traditional guidelines on talking with a crush, for instance: don’t babble too much and just listen. But, such rules are so old-fashioned for a Gen Z like you. </p><p>Here’s your signal to walk up to him and say ‘hi’ or ask a question to get the ball rolling. Share more about yourself, as in specific details until you spot interests that will connect you two together. It will also help to think of topics beforehand. Read up on trending news, so you have fascinating things to talk about. If you are with a crowd, for example at a party, socialize with others first before approaching your crush as it will help arouse your confidence. </p><div> </div><div><strong>Boring OOTDs</strong></div><div style="text-align:center"><img alt="5 meh moments young Pinays can relate to as the world slowly opens up again" src="https://aa1a-dctp-s3-entertainment.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/updates/entertainment/2022/07/06/Entertainment-adverts-5-meh-moments-young-Pinays-3.jpg"/></div><p>It has been a big comfort working from home in plain outfits during lockdown season.  But now you’re worried about having “nothing to wear again” as you go back to the office, or even campus. Well, it’s not a sin to repeat those basic pieces. All you have to do is learn some styling hacks to make them look playful. </p><p>The most basic trick is tucking in your plain shirt to accentuate your figure. Apply the rule of “third element” which means adding a third piece (like a jacket or cardigan) to a basic tank and jeans combo. Don’t forget to accessorize (a dainty necklace can make you look chic even in a plain white shirt).</p><div> </div><div><strong>The long commute </strong></div><div style="text-align:center"><img alt="5 meh moments young Pinays can relate to as the world slowly opens up again" src="https://aa1a-dctp-s3-entertainment.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/updates/entertainment/2022/07/06/Entertainment-adverts-5-meh-moments-young-Pinays-4.jpg"/></div><p>Going out again, you will experience the stressful bumper-to-bumper traffic and other commuting struggles. There’s no doubt commuting saps your freshness and energy, and replaces them with bland feelings of “meh.” But there are still ways to fight the bad vibes and boredom such as by reading a book and listening to a chill playlist during your trip. </p><div> </div><div><strong>Awkward red days </strong></div><div style="text-align:center"><img alt="5 meh moments young Pinays can relate to as the world slowly opens up again" src="https://aa1a-dctp-s3-entertainment.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/updates/entertainment/2022/07/06/Entertainment-adverts-5-meh-moments-young-Pinays-5.jpg"/></div><p>After almost two years of staying indoors, now is the perfect time to be bolder and explore again.
