If You're Stressed, Keep Going.

We all feel it too.

If You're Stressed, Keep Going.

It is that time of the semester, at least for me, where everything get's very hectic and overwhelming. I am not usually one to let a lot of little things get to me or bring me down. That being said, the closer I get to graduating and being an actual adult, the more the little things start to slowly stress me out.

I still have good grades but they aren't as stellar as usual. I still have fun, but not as much as I wish I did. I don't work out as much as I should, and I wish I saw my family more. That's life babe. It gets crazy and chaotic, but there is something beautiful happening in every single person's case of stress and anxiety.

We are all growing and going through things to prepare us for the future. Things that seem so important and heavy right now will feel like nothing in a few weeks. Just remember that. Everything you are going through right now, you're growing through.

It can be very hard to see the rainbow after the rain sometimes, I get it. But think about past times you were stressed or down, you got through it, right? They go away, and it is so nice to barely even remember that feeling until it happens again, which it will. However, you are fully equipped to keep it moving and keep being you.

Take into account everything that you're going through, write down the steps to get out of it, take a nap, a rest day, something to help take your mind off of it when you feel like you have 900 million things to do. Remember that turn out is real, so take the time to relax and refresh before you're forced to.

This is a reminder to myself and all of you. You are loved, you are smart, and you are capable. Go out and cash everything you need to do.

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
