You Are So Important, Please Remember That

Please stick around, 'cause you and I can change the world but I need you here to do it.

You Are So Important, Please Remember That
Mikayla Carr

I am a pretty understanding of being a sad bitch. I am diagnosed with clinical depression and I take antidepressants and I do the talk therapy, and it sometimes helps. But sometimes it doesn't. The problem with fighting with your own mind is that it is incredibly difficult to try and cope with day to day. I know what it feels like to be alone and want to go away permanently.

But I argue, what if we stay? I know that the pain can be unbearable, but please know there is somebody who maybe you never met right here on this small part of the world who cares about you and thinks that you are valuable. I understand where you are at but there is so much to live for.

It breaks my heart to think about the fact that anyone would ever think they don't matter at all, because how would the world have your special spark if you aren't here? It wouldn't. You matter you are so important. Every moment you are here is a beautiful, perfect moment. I don't know if you need to hear this or not but I am so glad that you have struggled through every moment and that you are still here. It means something.

So, keep trying if not for me for yourself. Or your mom, or if you don't talk to your mother maybe your third cousin that you have a weird relationship where you only exchange memes. Stay alive for that next moment because I promise it is worth it, you are meaningful in this life or you wouldn't exist.

Recently, it has just been really hard to accept that people can feel so low and leave everyone behind. I wish I could help the people suffering consistently, it is just... really hard to see so many young lives lost to their own battle.

Please stick around, 'cause you and I can change the world but I need you here to do it.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
