10 Things People with Anxiety Deal With
Becuo

Many people experience anxiety, whether it be social, stress-induced, or one of the many other forms. Anxiety is a real condition and it isn't something to joke around about. Here are just ten things that people with anxiety have to deal with.. sometimes even on a daily basis.

1. Panic attacks. The absolute worst feeling someone struggling with anxiety can feel. Freaking out, hyperventilating, crying, shaking... and none of it is in their control.

2. People saying, "oh, just calm down. There is no need to worry."

3. Feeling like your drowning and you can't do anything to stop it.

4. Having someone tell you, "oh, it's just in your head. There isn't actually anything wrong with you."

5. Not wanting to interact with people because it's overwhelming and terrifying.

6. Dealing with anti-depressant medication that can either help your anxiety, or make it a million times worse.

7. Just wishing someone could understand that you wish you were normal and that you could control the feelings you have.

8. Becoming so anxious that your anxiety turns into depression. Then you're anxious about being depressed.

9. Never being understood because "you don't look sick."

10. Absolutely loving when you find someone that has anxiety because you can actually be real with them because they understand you.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
