Change Is Terrifying But It's Also Good
Katie Kramer

Change is something that many people are afraid of because it's something that they don't know. Everything changes from seasons to people; we all change. Change is something that we all need. It's how to make life interesting and not the same thing day in and day out. Doing the same thing all the time gets boring so you have to spice it up every now and then.

I'm one of those people that used to not like change. I'll be the first to say that I'm still a little afraid of it. But I'm here to tell you, CHANGE IS GOOD.

I had my first big change when I went away to college. Coming to Eastern was something I knew would be good for me, but it was one of the scariest things I could've done. But just y'all look at me 4 years later. I'm in love with this university. I'm not sure exactly when it happened, but one day I realized this was my home.

My second big change was when I became a member of Alpha Sigma Tau. This was something that I never thought in a million years I would do. My life went from zero to busy and I actually loved it. I loved not being stuck in my room. I fell in love with our values and the sisterhood, and I would never turn back. It has made the last 4 years the best years of my life.

Then you have minor changes like getting my nose pierced, cutting and dying my hair. All are small changes but still changes.

People change too. They grow. They go through things that make them the people they are today.

So when I say change is good. I mean it. Change has benefited me so much more than you know. Next time you are faced with a change, embrace it. And as Meredith Grey once said,"sometimes, oh, sometimes change is good. Sometimes change is everything."

The Post Thanksgiving Panic And Anxiety

It happens to all of us, the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas the catch up with you.

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.

Even Shonda Rhimes, winning creator and executive producer of the hit TV shows Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder, and The Catch agrees that relationships with fictional characters are real. In her book, The Year of Yes she states, "I have spent more time with Meredith and Christina then many of my actual friends...When you watched TV, even spending a full hour with Christina once a week, you were likely spending more time with her then you spent with most people in your life. That relationship was real."

Going to the gym and working out on a daily basis (with breaks once in awhile) has been a great way for me to feel good about myself. It is 100% more than just looking good. Especially after starting college and having the stress and anxiety of tests, assignments, and just figuring out my future, the gym at my school has definitely been a place of relief for me and I have numerous reasons of why everyone should push themselves to get to the gym when they can.
