To The Person Who Is Ready To Give Up

Whether you are struggling in college or in a job...don't give up yet.

When in high school you have so much going on and basically your whole life revolves around work and school. Most of us have our parents to guide us and support us through it all. But when you get to college or work life afterward, your parents kind of take a step back or completely take a step back from being that backbone.

To the person who is struggling, don't give up. We all are going through different things that challenge us and make us want to give up. Life gets hard when you're on your own but just know better times are ahead. Your 20s are meant to find out who you are and what you want to do with your life. But also, they are meant to have fun because once you hit your 30s most of the time, your life slows down and there are more important things than going out all the time and not worrying about things.

Currently, my anxiety is at the top of its game again. The stress that I have from school doesn't help it either, frankly, it just makes it way worse. Many times this semester I have wanted to give up and say I'm going home. But I didn't because I know that this is important for my future and for me. But I have to remind my self to have some time for myself and to do things that I enjoy which helps tremendously. I have decided to get back into things that I hadn't done in a while but also try to explore new opportunities.

Just think, if you give up right now what are you going to do? Will you be ahead of where you are right now? Will you be happier in the long run than at the end of this long run opportunity that you're in right now? Will it really be worth it?

So if you're that person who is ready to give up, just think of the outcome. Think about how you are learning either through classes about your future or through work about your future it's all worth it. Your outcome will be greater than what you give up! Find hobbies that interest you and make sure you have fun! Its easier said than done, but its a learning game. And that is life, a learning game of yourself and the outside world.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.
