To the girl who cries at night because she has mental issues and body image issues.

Its all okay. I understand where you are and I know it’s hard. I’ve been there and done that. I am still there. I have been so depressed that I’ve tried killing myself, had thoughts, self harmed myself, starved myself, felt lonely, felt like no one loved me or wanted me, felt like I was such a big problem and just the absolute worse thing to ever happen to anyone.

To all of the girls, and even all the guys, it’s okay not to be okay sometimes. I have learned that I will never be that happy girl who never thinks the worst, who never stop wondering “what if,” or wonder what I’ve done wrong. The mentality of it all is the absolute worst part. I wouldn’t necessarily say that my past is what caused it for me, but I can say that it has made an impact on how I see things, take things, and view things. I have become so much more as a person

I used to care what everyone use to think and say about me, I use to try so hard to get attention from all of the girls and boys (although I didn’t start “liking” guys until I met my husband), I used to attempt to make my boobs look bigger and booty look bigger. I never did accept myself until I met my husband. I always thought that I had to look like all of the other girls.

I tried to find ways to gain weight, because I was always so skinny due to my high metabolism. It was just a horrible thing to deal with, but I guess that is what comes with depression. I have learned that there is so much more to life; although there are still those hard times and bad thoughts. There is always a positive to a negative, no matter what. It gets worse before it gets better.

Suicide is something so serious. The subject isn’t talked about enough, it doesn’t have much awareness. No one really knows what someone else is going through until it’s too late, and that is the sad thing about it. So to any and everyone that may think they are alone, you’re not. There are people just like you, may not be going through the same things but they are just like you. There is help.

Also remember, it is okay not to be okay.

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?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
