My Identities

The things I consider my own identity.

My Identities
Google

What I consider myself as is what makes me. This is based on how I was raised, my interests, and how I was influenced.

Religious views: Christian- Assemblies of God

I was raised in an Assemblies of God church and still attend one. I got saved at around age 11 and got baptized at age 23 and will almost be the one year anniversary of my baptism. This means I believe, follow, and trust God at all times (faith). By joining Campus Bible Fellowship during my last three semesters of college, I have leaned more to the baptist denomination of Christianity.

Political views: Moderate- Independent

Although I am registered as a Republican, I consider myself an Independent due to agreeing with some Democrat views and agreeing with some Republican views. I pretty much select a candidate based on whether I agree with his or her views on issues along with plans and policies. Since the 2016 election I was leaning towards the Independent view of politics and there right now. Also I tend to flip flop on some issues and don't really have a preference on which party to join since I believe in both social/community responsibility and individual rights/justice.

Cat lover

I've been a fan of cats since I was 12. I like cats better than dogs because they're easy to take care of and are not as much of a responsibility as dogs. They are also cute especially when they purr and I consider them to be the most loving animals out there.

History guy

I've always loved history because I find it so interesting on how humanity shapes our society throughout the future years. I am a Binghamton University graduate with a BA in history (graduated December 2016). My common interests in history are 20th Century American History and 20th Century European History.

Music Lover

I've been a fan of music since I was a teenager. It helps me relax and keep me going throughout the day. My favorite genres are pop, alternative rock, hip-hop (old school, underground, and conscious), R&B, and country but like pretty much everything except modern day heavy metal.

Burger Guy

Burgers are my favorite food. Every time I go to a restaurant, I often order a burger with fries on the side. I like burgers because of the taste and you can put whatever you want on it and I usually put ketchup, mustard, and sometimes onion and pickles.

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?
