6 Reasons You Should Not Commit Suicide Tonight

Stocksnap.io

1. People are going to miss you

Family and classmates are going to come to your funeral and cry. Everybody is going to notice the newly empty desk in the classroom. Your friends are going to walk by your locker and tear up. Everyone is going to remember you all of the time. Nobody’s lives will carry on normally like nothing had happened.

2. People are going to be sad

Your mom is going to wake up to find you, and start screaming. She is going to spend every night for the rest of her life thinking about where she went wrong, and how she let this happen. She will struggle to wake up every day and walk past your room. Your classmates will wake up tomorrow morning and check their phones, not knowing that they are going to find out that you have died. They will get to school, and the principal will tell them about the counselors on hand. Everyone will be unfocused in class, thinking about you.

3. You will miss out on the rest of school

You won’t be able to go to homecoming this year. You won’t get to go to prom. You won’t get to play sports and participate in clubs. You won’t even graduate. Those things are what high schoolers look forward to. You should be there to join in on the fun of them.

4. You have your whole life ahead of you

If you die tonight, how will you finish school? How will you get a job? Start a family? Get married? Buy your first house? You should be able to enjoy these things. Your life is full of wonderful adventures ahead, stick around to see them. Your life is not even close to being done, and you will regret not being here to live it.

5. You matter

You have a purpose in this world. Your life is irreplaceable. You, you are a wonderful human being, and I believe in you. If you ever think nobody cares, and nobody likes you, I do. You are so so important to so many people. You always will be. Trust me. You are beautiful in every single way. Remember that. You belong here.

6. It gets better

You can have a bad night or a bad week, but you can’t have a bad life. Every day may not be good, but there is always something good in every day. Take care of yourself first, you can’t pour from an empty cup. Tonight may be bad, but the sun will always come out tomorrow. Always. Your bad days will only make the good days better. Stick around to see. It gets better. Every day won’t be good, but every day won’t be bad either. Look forward to the good days, and you won’t remember the bad.

If you need help, talk to someone. Please. You are not alone.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.
