Lokai Bracelets Go Orange For Mental Health
LiveLokai

Lokai bracelets have been popular for quite some time now. The bracelet's meaning and symbolism grabbed the attention of a lot of people. On the classic bracelet, there are all clear beads and then a solid white bead and a solid black bead. The white bead contains water from Mount Everest, telling you to stay humble at your highest points, while the black bead carries mud from the Dead Sea, telling you to stay hopeful at your lowest points. If you haven't caught on, Mount Everest is the tallest place in the world and the Dead Sea is the lowest place. The bracelets are so cute and send such a great message! I've had mine for a while now and love it.

Lokai is known for raising a lot of charity funds through their bracelets. They have all black and all white bracelets as a statement to change the world and they let you pick any charity you want to donate two dollars from by purchasing one of those bracelets. They have also worked with Make a Wish Foundation, Alzheimer's Association, Charity: Water, Oceana, Susan G. Komen, Pencils of Promise, and MANY more.

But now, they are starting a new fund to raise awareness for another important cause: mental health awareness. When I saw this, I was in complete awe. In fact, I kind of got emotional. To have mental health awareness on such a large platform is unbelievable. When you think you're alone in the fight to end the stigma, you aren't. There are SO many people that care and want the stigma surrounding mental illness to end. Lokai is working closely with the National Alliance on Mental Health (NAMI) and will give them a minimum donation of $200,000! For every orange Lokai that is bought, $1 will go towards the NAMI HelpLine for one year, giving people with mental health conditions a safe place to talk and receive the support they need. Apparently, their partnership with NAMI is their most requested partnership yet. Hopefully, this means that they're going to raise a lot of money.

The NAMI Lokai is only available until March 31st, so go get yours HERE right now! Together, we can end the stigma surrounding mental illness.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
