You're never alone

A letter to one who contemplates suicide

Feel like nothing's getting better? Has the thought of you taking your last breath and permanently removing yourself off this beautiful planet come across your mind? If so, keep reading.

You're really sad, depressed even. On top of the depression you have anxiety attacks and tend to be bi-polar. Something happened. Something made you feel this way. But what do you make the people who love and care about you feel? You're not just taking away your life. Your taking away from them, in fact you're killing them along with you.

So you kill yourself and your dead. You think that resolves your problems and is the better choice but it isn't. What about your mom. You are a part of your mom. She'll be sad. She'll cry. She won't want to eat, sleep or even talk to anyone else. She'll be numb, and silent always. And your dad can't even comfort her because she blames herself for what you have done. Then your father. Your father is so upset, his little baby is gone. Forever. The last thing he said to you replays in his mind over and over again while he is at the office making money to support himself, your mother and your siblings. Oh yeah your siblings. You were the oldest. They looked up to you. The hero. The one to help make the bad dreams go away. The ones who would bother you while you were trying to be on the phone with your best friend. Best friend. You killed them too. You took away the person they would laugh with, hang out with and just sit in silence with. You took away half of them. The half that completed them. You killed a half of them that they will never get back.

While permanently taking your life may sound like the best option you have. It isn't, you need to think about your loved ones. If you're depressed speak out, it may not be easy but it's possible.

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.

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.
