If you haven't watched Demi Lovato's documentary, "Simply Complicated," on Youtube, you need to drop everything and watch it. If you aren't a fan or don't like Demi (how can you not, though?) you still need to watch it.

It tells a story of a struggling child, teen, and adult that anyone can relate to. It speaks about struggles with mental illness, stressors, and the pressures of life. Demi really opens her heart and soul in this one. She gives an intimate view on her life and admits that she isn't done recovering and never will be.

I, personally, can relate to never recovering and always battling with my anxiety. Anxiety is real. It's not just being nervous or shy. It's a feeling where you feel like you can't breathe and the more air you try to pull in, the more you suffocate.

Demi shed light on her own struggles with anxiety and depression while showing that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Her documentary came out right when I needed inspiration and motivation. Demi always seems to be there when I need a role model to help show me the way. When I was bullied, she was there.

When I moved away from home, she was there. When I was sexually assaulted, she was there. When I started getting threats and felt guilt over so many things, she was there. "Simply Complicated" came when I needed someone to tell me to get back up and keep fighting my battles. When The darkness in my mind started to reach my heart.

Her strength and the power of her words gave me the will I needed to stop feeling sorry for myself and act. Continue to build on myself and who I am while learning more about myself and others.

"Simply Complicated" is moving, smart, and compelling because Demi shows us sides of her that resonate within us. At the end of the day, Demi is a woman who feels, thinks, and hurts...just like the rest of us.

Maybe that's why I love her so much. She isn't a celebrity or a superstar to me, but rather, she is a person who I respect and relate to. Demi is a person, just like me. I try to never forget that.

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.
