I wish I would've thought of these earlier.

7 Things To Not Do When You Meet A Celebrity

We all have that dream of running into our favorite celebrity on the streets, them noticing us, then falling in love together and riding off into the sunset on a white stallion. When this day does come, because I have no doubt that it will, you should probably keep in mind these few tips. I'm here to help you seem emotionally stable to these magical humans, even when you feel like exploding on the inside.

1. Don't mess up your grammar when speaking to them.

When I was given the opportunity to meet Ben Platt after his performance in the musicalThe Book of Mormon, I shook his hand, looked him dead in the eye and said, "You're so well at what you do." In my defense, I was trying to say, "You did very well tonight," or, "You are great at what you do." I was just a little overly-excited and ended up combining the phrases and sounding illiterate.

2. Insult yourself as soon as you go to say, "Hello."

Example: My friend met Fifth Harmony and immediately just said, "Hello, I'm trash." That, shockingly enough, is not her name.

3. It's probably not in your best interest to ask them to autograph ridiculous things.

Boobs. Just, not the boobs.

4. Don't shout, "DAD!"

That's kinda weird.

5. Try not to release any bodily fluids in their presence.

For example, I'll probably be the first person to actually pee themselves in front of Taylor Swift. That's not going to be cool. Don't be like me.

6. Don't give them weird gifts.

Letters are cool. Scrapbooks are chill. Posters are dandy. But I really don't think Harry Styles needs another fangirl's bra to add to his collection.

7. Refrain from begging them to marry you.

I had to come to terms with the fact that Ed Sheehan does not need to have 900+ wives, so I'll give up on my "husband goals" with him for the greater good.

Everyone wants to leave a lasting impression on their favorite celebrity, and you can do this by just being chill. You don't want to scare these people away, only for them to go tell their other celebrity friends about the kid who tried to lick their ear and steal their belt.

DISCLAIMER: When the day comes that you hear about me meeting James Franco, I probably will not have followed any of these tips, but that's besides the point. Do as I say, not as I do.

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?
