You're Not Special (And That's a Good Thing!): Everyone Has Bad Days

So you spilled coffee all over your shirt right before the big presentation, missed the train by literally two seconds, and to top it off, your phone decided today was the perfect day to take a nap forever. Congratulations, you're officially having a classic "bad day"—welcome to the club! Don't worry; it's a big club, and there's no entry fee (though we hear the exit's a bit tricky).

The Universal Truth About Bad Days

Did you know having a bad day is about as universal as forgetting your password when you're already running late? Research shows that approximately 100% of human beings experience days when nothing seems to go right. Yes, even those Instagram influencers who appear to live permanently inside a filtered sunset—trust us, they have their "Wi-Fi just died" days too.
