Demi Lovato's "Simply Complicated" Documentary Review
Thursday's Journal

Not only do I love Demi Lovato for being a talented actress and singer, but also as a person who is not afraid to be open about her past struggles. Demi Lovato is transparent and vulnerable with her audience when it comes to her documentary "Simply Complicated." In this film, Demi talks about her struggles with mental illness and substance abuse at a young age and the emotions she was feeling that were abnormal to other people.

In the documentary, Demi made the statement, "one day I just came to a breaking point." She realized that she needed to make a change in her life to get back to having good mental health. Demi decided that going to professionals such as psychologists and counselors for help would be the best thing to do in order to recover. She even started working out more to reduce the stress and anxiety that she was feeling in her life.

Through therapy and exercise, Demi was able to to clean herself from abuse and get herself back on track to happiness and success. After getting the help she needed from professionals and support from family and friends, Demi came to a successful recovery and was stronger than she ever was before.

Overall, Demi Lovato's "Simply Complicated" documentary sends her audience the message that anyone can struggle with mental illness and that it is okay. Being mentally ill is hard, but it is nothing to be ashamed of. A lot of people go through the struggle of some form of mental disorder. Mental illness is a hard battle, but with the help of professionals such as psychologists and counselors and from family and friends who love you, you are able to get through it. However, the main person you need help from in order to recover is yourself. You have to want to get through the struggle of mental illness because it is something that you want to do, not just because others want you to. Throughout this documentary you can see Demi transform from being someone who struggled on a continuous journey of being unhappy while using drugs to being happier than ever before and clean of all things harmful. Demi Lovato is living proof that you can change your life and get on the road to recovery. It does not matter how long the journey takes as long as you eventually get there.

I highly recommend watching Demi Lovato's documentary "Simply Complicated." Whether you like Demi as an actress, singer or are interested in topics such as mental illness, psychology and/or counseling, I truly believe you will enjoy this documentary as much as I did.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
