Best is yet to Come

The other day I came across a quote that I felt really impacted the way I was thinking about things lately. So many of us through both good times and bad times constantly. People who we thought would be in our lives forever hurt us and can even kick us again when we're really down. When these things happen it's natural for us to get angry and negatively change the way you think about friendships, relationships, and people. Although it's true that not everyone has the same heart as you and that some people are cold enough to do terrible things, it's important to maybe try to handle hardships in a more positive though process. The quote I came across the other day was, "We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us". When people hurt you it's hard to let it go but it's important to know that it is OKAY for people to leave your life. Most of us have this though of how our lives are and should be and aren't open to change. I'm telling you to let go of those toxic people in your life. God brings those people in to make you stronger. If you finally let go of those toxic people, situations, and energy, you'll see that new people and things will enter that actually help you and make you happy. The life God has planned for us could even be better for us than the life we have planned for ourselves In our head. In conclusion this quote really inspired me to do three things: be open to change, okay that sometimes things won't make sense, and always stay true to yourself.

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?
