We've all been there. An hour, day, week or even a year where we can't figure out what to do with our time, lives, or careers. It seems like we're between a rock and a hard place. Those two things can be school and social life, tradition and straying away from it, or something as simple as choosing one restaurant over another. All of us have different places or situations that we're stuck in.

For me at midnight on the seventh of December 2017 I'm stuck on what to write for a deadline that has already passed (I did get an extension.) I'm stuck on a game where I can't seem to get that one character that I really want to get and I'm stuck in between wanting to sleep in and finishing up the papers that I have to write for finals. Obviously the second option will win on the last one.

But like our dear old friend Flick over here, poor boy, there have been situations that I have been stuck in that were just...stupid. Like waiting until the last minute on a paper to test my strengths and my sanity or finding out the hard way that getting up late for an appointment is never fun nor easy. So if you're like me when it comes to procrastinating, which I do a lot, and are stuck in a situation that you put yourself in, I'm here to say stop procrastinating! But if you do, the hard times will pass I promise.

I can already hear my family now telling me to listen to my own advice on those comments. They mean it in the best way possible and I love them for it.

I don't know about you, but sometimes I have felt like Aladdin and Jasmine but mostly with my mental health. When the depression and anxiety really hit me hard I felt like there was no way out, no light at the end of the tunnel, and no way for me to turn. After a while, though, I learned to trust people and I got help.

Don't be afraid to admit that you need help especially if you're in a bad state of mental health. Therapists and doctors are not there to put you in the hospital, but to merely understand and to help. Asking for help is one of the first steps to recovery and if you're feeling stuck in this way then it is one of the best things to do.

When I started this article, I honestly had no clue where it was going and to be completely honest I still have no clue. But I do know a couple of things.

Feeling stuck in these ways, mentally, emotionally, and school wise, aren't fun and aren't easy. They can make you feel like less of a person and make you feel like you can't breathe. I don't like the feeling and I never will no matter how many times I screw myself over whether it be with sleep or school work. The best way that I have felt helps me to get myself unstuck is talking to people about it. Talking to people always helps and if you can you should.

So whatever you're stuck in right now, I hope you find your way out of it soon.
