Mental Health is so Important

We all have our problems. We all deal with them in our own way. Everyone is different with how they feel and act. And that's okay. But lets talk about mental health, okay? Mental health is so important.

Why, you may ask? Well, I'll tell you why!

Mental health affects how we think and feel, and even act. It includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. Along with how we deal with stress, relate to others, and even making choices. Behavior, mood, and even your own thinking can be affected.

There are many different reasons as to why there are shifts in your mood, behavior, and thinking. Which include:

Genes or brain chemistry, which are biological factors

Life experiences (i.e. trauma or abuse)

Family history

No matter what it may be, we all deal with our own things. And it is up to us on how we deal with it and how we approach it.

School and work can also take a major toll on us as well. And it is okay to take a mental health day. Mental health should always come first.

Mental health will always be important. Sometimes you just have to take a step back from reality and think to yourself: "Am I happy? Am I okay mentally? Can I do this right now? Is it possible for me to do this right now?"

And guess what? It is okay if you need to go get help. You have to work on you, for you, and only you. Don't let anyone try and dictate your happiness and your life. This is your life and you have to live it to your full potential. You aren't weak by getting help. You're taking a step in the right direction by getting the help you need and deserve.

And for me personally, I think getting help is probably one of the most strongest things you can do.

Don't be afraid. Get the help you need. You matter. Everyone around you wants you to be happy. They all care about you. They really do. Keep reminding yourself of all the good in your life as well. There is always good.

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.
