Let's Talk About Mental Health

So, let's talk about mental health. These days people have had it with the world, and could you blame them? We in a society filled with hate, abuse, and violence. While we try to see change within the world it is hard when change is not there. However, we need to discuss how your mental health is doing with this quarantine.

How are you feeling today?

Are you feeling mad? Sad? Are you feeling tired about all these news? You're justified to have an off day, you are okay to feel selfish. Do not let someone downplay your feelings because you are entitled to your emotions. It is okay to feel not okay.

Did you eat? 

Did you eat a full meal? No skipping. We need some carbs and whatever you want, go crazy. I think we can all admit that we had our fair share of binge eating. So, if you have not had a meal today go to your kitchen and whip up a quick meal. Don't ignore your body!

Have you planned a self-care day?

This can be from reading your favorite book when it's thundering to putting different face masks on? (Please watch out for your skin). Try watching the show you said you'll watch five months ago. I know you probably have a long list of all the Netflix shows you want to binge. I would say watch Friends, but they're are better options out there.

Try a new nail polish. We are barely going out (I hope) but, try new looks with your nails and show them off in your next zoom meeting or day with friends.

These are just a couple of questions you should ask yourself. Mental health is more important than ever. We might be in trying times but that does not mean we can let ourselves spiral. If you feel any depressive thoughts, or feel your mental health is not taken serious. Please contact mental health hotlines or locations to gain the proper healthcare you need.

You are important. You are one, but one one in a million. Take care of yourselves and those around you.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
