Crying A Little Bit Every Day Is Better Than An Emotional Breakdown

It's like hitting your daily 'reset' buttons.

Crying A Little Bit Every Day Is Better Than An Emotional Breakdown
Kevin Ochoa

Life's hard. We all know it and can relate to it. Getting caught up in the daily grind can be busy, hard, and can just break you down from time to time. I'm sure we all have had an emotional breakdown or two and we all know it sucks. So, my question is why we need to have one, big, stressful, and messy emotional breakdown from bottling in our stress and emotions when we can just cry a little every day.

Crying is kind of a demonized subject. Why is it so looked down upon? It's a human emotion. No matter how tough you are, you WILL cry in your life at some point. That doesn't mean you're a loser or a square. It just means that you have emotion. It means that you are human, and you have a heart. Is that something anyone should be ashamed of? I don't think so.

I think we should all cry a little every day. You can get out those bottled emotions from the day and just kind of hit a 'reset' button. Then, you won't be having a break down releasing all that emotion from a long period of time, just from a single day. And usually, that's all you need to get through your day. Just think of how much better you'll feel. It's like getting a good night's sleep, but with crying.

Yeah yeah, I know this sounds bizarre, but you should really hear me out on this one. It can literally be like one tear, and then that's it. You're done, refreshed, and ready to take on whatever is ahead of you with a weight taken off your shoulders. And I promise you won't look like a loser. You'll probably feel better about yourself every time. So, go ahead, cry a little every day. You'll be happy that you did.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
