3 Struggles You Know To Be True If You Have ADD
PEXELS

For those who don't have Attention Deficit Disorder, you might be unaware of the struggles that the people who do suffer from this disorder go through on a day-to-day basis. Hopefully, this list can make you laugh while learning our struggles.

Everyone is different. So, this list might not apply to everyone. So let's get star-- wait I wonder if the squirrels on Wheeler Lawn have ADD. Can someone get on this?

1. Forgetting to take your medicine.

Starting off with the morning routine and forgetting to take your medicine is NOT good. For me, that usually ends with me going to class with a cup of coffee acting like Hammy from "Over The Hedge." Then it becomes almost impossible to focus on anything for longer than 0.5 seconds.

2. When someone asks "Are you on Adderall?"

It's a question I get every time I tell someone I have ADD. Adderall is one of the strongest ADD medications out there. Just because many people are on the drug and it being well known doesn't mean that I am on it. And don't even try to get me to give you my medication for your exam. It's illegal and dumb.

3. Once your medicine wears off you become a completely different person.

This one might pertain to just me, but when my meds wear off, I completely change. When it's in my system, I am more mellow. When I'm off of it, I am more social and I have more energy. But I have a much harder time remembering conversations and staying focused on something for very long.


If you have ADD or know someone who can relate, just know you're not alone!

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.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
