Suicide Awareness Is And Always Has Been Been Important

Why is it just now that there are shows out there that are talking about the importance of suicide? Suicide has always been an important topic and always will be.

Be a light for someone today that is in the dark. Live your dreams and don’t let anyone live out your dreams for you. There is more to life. In life, there is more "why not's" than "why's." A popular quote on Season 2 of 13 Reasons Why. Why does a topic have to erode so much for it to get the attention it needs?

Everyone has a story to live out and everyone's story is different and unique. No matter how bad today was, tomorrow always is brighter because tomorrow is a new day.

High school sucks — we can probably all agree on that. I cant answer the why to this question because the answer will be different for every person. One thing I can say is that life after high school is better.

There are many controversial topics about the first and second seasons of 13 Reasons Why. I don’t want to go on a rampage and despise the show, but I would like to say thank you for making this a reality so people wake up from this tabooed topic. I lived in this scene in high school, when the four years I went, every year there was someone that died of suicide and many more that were affected by it.

Suicide is not a fun topic to talk about. Most people don’t talk about it because it’s uncomfortable and scary. Suicide is a stigma that needs to stop. But that’s why it is good to talk about it. We shouldn’t avoid this topic or any topic about mental illness.

If you or someone you know needs help please call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at 1-800-273-8255. This hotline has saved over 5.2 million people.

Remember You are loved.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
