It's True, Being Honest Can Be A Lead To Change

Honesty... this is something that not only every person struggles with whether it is with a secret, thoughts, or self-decisions that they have to make. This can be as serious as whether someone should eat that extra piece of bread, so if that person should lie to a loved one. They both fall under a different impact category, but they are all having to do with honesty and a specific impact of their own. Honesty can lead to losing a friend, or completely losing yourself; it is a quality that is very serious and is mistaken as something that does not matter. Honesty will open several doors for you. Everything will come for you when you start being honest with the world.

But this is where society is wrong, because unfortunately even when speaking with honesty you can say the right thing with the wrong spirit behind it. How you may ask; well you could say that someone should do something but it could end badly for them and benefit you. This would be a prime example of this.

This is why we as individuals need to stand up and spread more honesty with our actions this doesn't just go for mental, but physical actions as well. Meaning what we say, and putting our money where our mouth is. Honesty is the start of changing who you are and who you want to be. The worth behind this goes well beyond the current time. You will forever be known for your kindness, gratitude, and the honesty you shared with others during your time. Be honest with not only yourself but to every single person around you. This is why you always hear that "Honesty is the best policy." And this is why I motivate you all to be the start of the change and what change can be.

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?
