Family time can help you cope with your emotions.

Family Time Is Therapy Time
Live The Adventure

With having an illness or disorder or even disease that doesn't have a cure yet there tends to be some emotions to go with that. One emotion is very common with those who have illnesses or disorders and that is depression. Depression is experienced differently through everyone, and there are different cases of depression as well. My experience with depression is not as severe or serious as others but when I feel that way all I want to do is sleep and stay in bed and not go anywhere or do anything. But when I am with family wheather I am babysitting or spending the day with sisters or aunts and even date nights with my husband always makes me better. It also helps lift my spirit up to a bright shining light. I like to call family time my thereapy time because it has just the same effect as actual therapy. Another emotion that seems to be common as well is anxiety. And like there many different cases of anxiety, while others might be more on an extreme case mine I don't think is that bad yes sometimes to me it feels bad but I don't think it is as bad as some other people's anxiety. But family time again helps my anxiety spending time with family helps my mind be at peace and calm me down. Sometimes my anxiety makes me very emotional and that's when wonderful date nights or even just spending time with my husband, just my husband and I relaxes me and eases my mind which again is just like therapy to me.And to end my article I am going to say family is precious so anytime you get with them cherish it and take pictures! Hope everyone has a nice day and weekend.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. 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.
