The first Sunday of every may is a big day in the running world. It is the broad street run which is a 10-mile run starting at broad and fisher right near Einsteins hospital then continues all the way through the city to the navy yard.

The race has about 45,000 people come out each year. That is a crazy amount.

So here are the 10 thoughts running through peoples heads as they hit each mile point.

Mile 1: One down, nine to go. That wasn't too bad.

While mile one is the easiest mile it is also the most boring. The beginning mile everyone is running and the adrenaline is high.

Mile 2: When is the first water station?

Mile 3: This isn't to bad only two more till half way.

Mile 4: One more mile. I think city hall is getting closer.

Mile 5: HALFWAY THERE.

Then you're halfway there. pitch perfect GIF

Mile 6: Ooo I like that sign.

Mile 7: Wait what mile is it?

Mile 8: I can't even see city hall anymore.

Mile 9: One more to go. Make this the best*

What am I thinking. My legs hurt and I don't know if I can go on. Oh, look its a camera, smile.

Mile 10: Finally done, where can I get my medal now?

Overall this race was one of the greatest experiences I have ever had. However, it was hard but I would recommend it to anyone.

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?
