To The Person Who Thinks Suicide Is Their Only Option, Please Read This

If you or someone you know is experiencing suicidal thoughts, call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline — 1-800-273-8255

Please don't ever think this is an option. Please don't let something drastic happen in your life and the first solution you think of is suicide. Life is very important and I promise many lives would change without you.

Not only are you taking away your life, but someone else's as well. You leave your loved ones and spouses heartbroken and empty. You are leaving them with the way you felt.

Please understand that someone loves you and someone is willing to stand by your side and help you through whatever obstacle comes your way. Always know that there is always a rainbow in the end and whatever the issue is will pass on.

No matter what the circumstances are, you can overcome them. I want you to understand there are other options besides this permanent one. If you need help, please understand I am here for you. Before you make me live this life without you, please think about how empty I would be without you.

I want you to know that you matter. You are important whether you know it or not. This world would be different without you and that is a fact. Your friends will be hurt. Your family will long for your presence. You will be gone and it will be an empty feeling in their hearts.

There is help.

Please reach out to your family and friends and seek help because they want you here. I want you to know that this is not your only option and there are others. We want you here.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

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?
