Kate Spade's Suicide Is A Reminder That No One Is Immune To Mental Illness

By now everyone has probably heard about the suicide of famous fashion designer Kate Spade, I personally did not buy her stuff as it was too expensive for my price range, but I have heard about her and seen photos of her stuff, and if I did have money I would have probably bought it. But that is not the point of this article, the point is that no one is immune to mental illness.

Whenever someone successful and famous commits suicide there are commenters on social media saying:

"Why would they do that? They had everything they were so successful."

"They couldn't have been that sad, look at them."

Well, it doesn't matter how much money that you make in a year, money is not the key to happiness.

Anyone can have depression, no matter the gender, race, religion, sexuality, no one is immune to it.

I feel like people making rude comments about her need to think, what if her family sees those comments? How do you think they will feel? Why do you even comment on them if you don't have anything nice to say?

You never know what someone is going through, sometimes even the most successful, happiest, and richest people can also be the saddest people out there, just look at Robin Williams! You would never have been able to tell that on the inside he was hurting.

The point that I am making is that you should be kind to people every day, whenever you make someone feel guilty after an attempted suicide it only makes the person feel worse, what you need to do is be there for them and be the support that they are going to need.

If you guys ever feel like you aren't worth anything in this world, you are and you are not alone, you have so much to live for and think about all of the people that love you and want to see you do amazing things.

If you guys are suffering from depression, it is not your fault at all. Don't let anyone tell you it is, you are valid, it is never too late to ask for help.

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?

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters

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.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.
