When you get to college, there are these classes called "gen eds"—your general education requirements for graduation. These include credit hours in math, science, etc. Even though these classes won't go toward your major, you can still get important information from them, so don't just sign up for any random class. One that I personally believe every college student should take is an American Government class, and here are six reasons why.
Joy to the world, am I right?
Ready or not, here come the holidays, friends, and if you're as obsessed with the spirit of the season as I am, you are much more ready than not. Thanks to Hallmark Channel's Monopoly game making it possible to celebrate all year long, you can be ready now, too!
It is not political, no matter how much you argue.
The pandemic has been in our world for more than half of 2020 and people are still acting stupid. If anything, they're getting stupider. They think that the virus is gone. It's not. Stop going to frat parties. Stop trying to go places without a mask. I wish things were normal, too. They're not.
This disease will not stop me from excelling.

I love Demi, but I can't say I'm surprised.
That's right, you heard that correctly: Demi Lovato and Max Ehrich called off their engagement after the couple originally announced their engagement in July after beginning to date in March.
While this may be another hardship she sadly has to endure, I know she will find a way to inspire and help others through it.
I am heartbroken.
They are finally diversifying our favorite time of the year.
We all love a good ol' sappy Christmas movie and this year, the Hallmark Channel is finally giving us what we want: diversity.
Check in on your friends throughout the winter season, it can be brutal.
As we transition seasons and enter the last few months of the year, some are feeling grand about this natural shift. But that doesn't mean everyone is thrilled that the weather is cooling down — it's important to extend your knowledge to the phenomenon that is seasonal depression.
The lack of sunlight during the later seasons of the year, beginning with autumn, triggers a state of depression for about 15% of the population. This results in the lack of serotonin provided by the sun, causing it to be hard for some to do a lot of the things that would normally be deemed simple tasks to do during the earlier times in the year like getting out of bed, showering, going to work/school, etc. A major difference is an intense need for sleep similar to a hibernation effect.

When you go on a date, there are certain topics that are considered "taboo" to talk about.
Mental illnesses deserve our attention 365 days a year.
September is Suicide Awareness Month, providing an opportunity to raise awareness, further educate yourself, and remember the reality that mental illnesses present.
