The Beauty of Mental Health

Mental Health is something a lot of us take from granted in today's world. We as a society are always told to take care of our physical health, to lose weight and to make sure to workout. However, we are rarely educated on the importance of preserving and taking care of our mental health.

Taking care of one's mental health covers varying degrees and methods. Most notably, is the practice of meditation. Meditation does wonder to help with anxiety and stress. It has been said that people who regularly meditate tend to experience far less negative thoughts and emotions.

Another good mental health practice is positive self-talk. A lot of people feel the weight of other people's criticisms personally and heavily. Oftentimes, people feel like they have all of this weight on them. What they forget is to have positive self-talk. At the end of the day, you have to be your own best friend. Positive self-talk can help to raise a person's self-esteem and self-worth.

Another good practice is working out. It has been shown that working at can actually help to improve a person's self-image and confidence. Working out for even 30 minutes a day can achieve this.

Also, it is good to be able to vent about your frustrations. Oftentimes, people elect to keep their emotions in check. People should be more open to vocalizing their emotions.

Inner peace is something that can be attained through paying attention to one's mental health. Stress and unhappiness are at an all-time high in our society. Depression and anxiety are something that has become more common especially amongst the youth.

Paying attention to mental health can lead to an overall happy life. You can learn to appreciate the little things more and not stress over things that are out of your control.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
