Majority of us know Demi Lovato and are well aware of her story.

Demi is not afraid of sharing her story with the world, her addiction, trip to rehab, and now sobriety.

On June 21st, 2018, Demi released a new single titled 'Sober.'

She released the single on all social media platforms saying, 'My truth…'

If you listen to the song, some of the lyrics read,

"don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know why
I do it every, every, every time
It's only when I'm lonely
Sometimes I just wanna cave
And I don't wanna fight
I try and I try and I try and I try and I try
Just hold me, I'm lonely"

Later in the song she goes on to talk to her mom, dad, and 'the ones who never left me.'

She states, 'we've been down this road before, I'm so sorry, I'm not sober anymore.'

Personally, I am a huge fan of Demi's and always have been, since her days on Disney Channel.

This single being released is heartbreaking, Demi just celebrated six years of sobriety this past January. She just went on tour for her new album. Honestly, this came a huge shock to the Lovatic fan base.

It is an eye-opener. I am thankful Demi feels comfortable enough to share her story with her fans and the world, but it is so sad that she relapses because we all thought she was doing so well.

This song being released made me think, it made me realize that no matter how big a person's smile is, how many pictures they post on Instagram, or how busy they are, they are or could be fighting battles within themselves. You never truly know what someone is going through.

Be cautious around others, check up on your friends, and love to the fullest each and every day.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
