Mental health is nothing to joke about.

It is a disease affecting your body or brain. There are so many different things that can happen to someone to develop these issues. Rape, losing a loved one, bullying, and so much more can affect someone to affect them to the point of developing these issues.

People think that these issues happen fast, but they develop until it really hits you.

People can get anxiety, PTSD, depression, and so much more throughout their lives and never really know why it happened to them.

These diseases can affect you in so many ways.

You can become distant with family, significant others, and even friends. You feel like there’s nothing you can do to fix it or fix your life to make it better. No matter what you do, you aren’t making the people most important to you happy, or that nothing you do is good enough to please them. You feel like nobody wants you or would ever want you. It’s hard to live with these diseases.

I just want to let the people struggling with these mental health issues to know that it does get better.

It may take months or years but it will eventually get better and you will become happy again and feel like yourself. You need to get yourself the help you need, I know it’s hard to get help but you will be thankful that you did one day. Reach out to a loved one and talk to them about your struggles and seek the help you deserve. These issues take a toll on the body and can cause you to become extremely unhealthy. Getting help will help yourself upkeep your body and mind.

There is no shame in getting the help you need in order to help yourself.

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.

I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
