There comes a time in every sports team's life where it seems as though the world is crumbling right from under their feet. Some call it the "rebuild, where a team takes virtually nothing and turns it into something. Here are twelve things I want to tell my really bad professional sports team.

1. "It Will Get Better"

I know the future doesn't look bright now, but it will get better.

2. "You're Not The Only One"

While there is only room for one team in dead last, there are roughly ten other teams doing badly as well. They're just doing bad a little better than you are.

3. "Your Fans Aren't Going Anywhere"

At least not the real fans...

4. "It Happens To Every Professional Sports Team"

As mentioned in the introduction of this article, rebuilds are inevitable in sports. Every team goes through a few of them in a team's life, it's not just you.

5. "Have Patience"

Turning a team around from the bottom to the top doesn't happen overnight, just be patient.

6. "It's Okay To Be Frustrated But Don't Give Up"

You're allowed to be mad, you're allowed to throw things out of anger, just don't give up and continue to look for the positives in every situation.

7. "No One Is Judging You"

While it is just as hard for sports fans to watch their team unable to find the right momentum, we understand, or at least most of us do and let me tell you, we are not judging you.

8. "Keep Smiling"

While the hurt of not being the best may sting, keep on smiling because, from a fan's perspective, we'd rather see a happy team who has accepted their fate, than one who is down in the dumps about it all of the time.

9. "Keep On Keeping On"

What I meanly this keeps playing with your heart, don't give up just because the stats and standings show something you don't want to see. After all, practice does make perfect.

10. "Just Because You're At The Bottom Of The Dog Pile, Doesn't Mean You're Bad"

I guess sometimes it does, but most of the time you have just failed to find good chemistry.

11. "You Can't Blame Any Single Person"

In any sport, where you stand in the standings is a team effort. You can not place blame on any one man unless it's your GM, then maybe you can.

12. "I Still Love You"

My dedication to you is like a marriage, for better or for worse.

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?
