Nobody knows what you're going through. We can all try to identify with it from our darkest moments, but we don't know.

You are dealing with something you thought you've figured out how to handle by now, but didn't know it could get worse.

Take a breath.

You have love in your life. That can be hard to see behind the hate people take out on you. Choose to see the love and not the hate. Hate is just words masking ignorance.

You've spoken out about your mental health in the past, and you aren't getting the respect you deserve for embracing the cards you were dealt.

We don't know your pain, but today, you told us just how bad it was.

We heard you. Don't quit.

Your name has been all over the media more than ever this year in bad ways and good. You didn't ask for that, and now you're here pushing to get through each day. Whatever is going through your head at this moment to get you to the point of this cry for help, just know that there is always tomorrow to try again.

You deserve tomorrow.

People abandon their lives every day. They get to the point where the suffering is too much and the appeal of escaping the noise becomes their idea of peace.

Don't escape the noise, please. There may not be one right answer to do that, and it will probably hurt like hell to figure it out, but you can do it. Your peace doesn't have to be escaping life.

Fight the world, fight the noise, fight your illness.

We have lost too many good souls in this world because the evil took over. Please, don't join them. Their cries for help were maybe missed or ignored and they didn't get the chance to try again.

It may not feel like it, but your peace is out there. Fight to find it.

You are overwhelmingly loved and there are so many people out there right now fighting to make sure you are and will be OK. Realize the wealth of love and support surrounding you will help you get through your struggles.

You can make it to tomorrow.Please keep living.

IF YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW ARE STRUGGLING WITH SUICIDAL THOUGHTS AND/OR TENDENCIES, REACH OUT IMMEDIATELY. NO ONE SHOULD GO THROUGH THIS ALONE. SUICIDE IS SERIOUS.

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.

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.
