The greatest day of the year rolls around in mid-march. A sea of green fills school campuses and the luck of the Irish is embraced at it's fullest.

1. You look on the calendar and you cannot believe the greatest day of the year is finally here.

2. For once, going to a school of predominately Irish Catholic students is a great thing.

3. Suddenly, your biggest priority becomes finding everything and anything green you own for the occasion.

4. The next priority is gathering all of the alcohol you plan on consuming for the day.

5. There is no hour too early to start quenching your thirst, so drinking as the sun starts to rise is totally acceptable.

6. You hit a mid-day point thoroughly believing you have developed a much better stamina than last year’s so you keep drinking.[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F03%2F21%2F635941222138012764-2026051146_200.gif&ho=http%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=741&h=538c9d5d9dc8761b241b57a23477983a47bd2229235d0a41a80bc495d0a16eca&size=980x&c=3365657493 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F03%252F21%252F635941222138012764-2026051146_200.gif%26ho%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D741%26h%3D538c9d5d9dc8761b241b57a23477983a47bd2229235d0a41a80bc495d0a16eca%26size%3D980x%26c%3D3365657493%22%7D" expand=1]

7. Early evening rolls around and there's only one thing on your mind: food.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F03%2F21%2F6359412228706296731421311186_200-2.gif&ho=http%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=959&h=2e34c0eaaaec9b9a3074463b83da4ee01f7a092b4f45978e3bfc7cb26eee9783&size=980x&c=313043993 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F03%252F21%252F6359412228706296731421311186_200-2.gif%26ho%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D959%26h%3D2e34c0eaaaec9b9a3074463b83da4ee01f7a092b4f45978e3bfc7cb26eee9783%26size%3D980x%26c%3D313043993%22%7D" expand=1]

8. Considering it’s St Patrick’s Day, pretending you actually enjoy eating corned beef and cabbage is a must.

9. That wonderful time for your evening nap rolls around as you rest up for the night ahead.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F03%2F21%2F635941224058208156283455635_giphy-7.gif&ho=http%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=165&h=72a4ab6c4d3561044681f0ba38e8e0ca5b2a913c0c500798614b281a5b1981ed&size=980x&c=1256716704 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F03%252F21%252F635941224058208156283455635_giphy-7.gif%26ho%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D165%26h%3D72a4ab6c4d3561044681f0ba38e8e0ca5b2a913c0c500798614b281a5b1981ed%26size%3D980x%26c%3D1256716704%22%7D" expand=1]


10. You remember telling yourself it's a marathon, not a sprint, then remember not following that rule throughout the whole day.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F03%2F21%2F6359412433367701472030731334_200-4.gif&ho=http%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=677&h=3ca2bfb122b77b9bb581ae4a09e9c5495514d49f472fbce9aafd41bb23ee2f89&size=980x&c=3039250902 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F03%252F21%252F6359412433367701472030731334_200-4.gif%26ho%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D677%26h%3D3ca2bfb122b77b9bb581ae4a09e9c5495514d49f472fbce9aafd41bb23ee2f89%26size%3D980x%26c%3D3039250902%22%7D" expand=1]


11. It.s a tiring time, but you blast Drop Kick Murphy’s "Shipping Up to Boston" and begin to rally for the second part of the day.

12. You find the day coming to a close so you power through, soaking up the last few hours of the greatest day of the year.

13. The painful headache and irritation from loud noises.

You waking up to the next morning can be a metaphor for coming to the realization that you have to wait 364 more days until this wonderful day rolls around again.

Summer Slump

Summer is a time for fun in the sun, hanging out with friends, and living it up, but for some people, that's not the case. Summer is a nightmare for idle minds. Let me explain what I mean by that. For people with mental illness having the extra time to think and relax can be devastating for their mental health. Now, this isn't a problem for everyone but for some people who suffer from mental illness, this is a reality.
