your academic qualification, educate yourself. Learn new skills

and games, whatever. Keep yourself busy. Read, Work on your mind, get
into the habit of reading, you could go to the library, download books from
the internet or buy, read motivational books, fictions non fictions get into the
habit of reading.

Build your sense of humor:
You don’t have to be a clown to make people happy, but a good sense of
humor is a priceless asset, it works like medicine. It relieves people of their
heartache and makes you a better person. Some people have to spend months
to learn how to smile,
A smile is just a curve that’s always around your lips it might not solve the problem, but
it gives you an assurance that all will be well.
Things are usually not as bad as they first appear, choose to be happy, and
choose to always make people happy.
Get praying:
I personally believe in the efficacy of prayer, God can do every thing, build
a prayer routine, pray for yourself...
