"Hi. I'm not even sure if you'll get this but hey-I figured that I'd give it a try. I don't wanna say that I think I'm actually calling you, I realize you're gone and you can't pick up the phone. I'm not even sure where I'm calling, if there is heaven or if you're just part of the sky. I'd like to believe that heaven is real, that someday I'll see you there again. I'd give anything to have that peace of mind, but for now I'll just hold out hope. Anyways if heaven is a place where you are, maybe somehow you'll hear this.

I miss you. It's weird that you aren't here anymore. You've missed so much, so many happy things and sad things; a lot of in between things too. There's so many things you're going to miss too, my college graduation and my wedding day.

I find myself being happy even though you're gone, and sometimes I feel a little guilty for it. Guilty because you didn't get to see this day. I wonder what you'd do with this day if you had been here for it. I'd like to think I'm living life for you, in a way that would make you proud of me. Maybe I am and maybe I'm not, but either way I'm trying. I' think you're proud of me just for that. I know I'm proud of you, how valiantly you lived, and the effect you had on all those around you. We all miss you. The world misses you and although the days are bit more gray without you I know when the sun shines you're behind it. I feel your presence in the smallest things everyday. I guess I just wanted to tell you that I miss you, and I know that somehow you're watching over me. So maybe I'll see you someday, if not I love you. I miss you. Bye"

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?
