"If you think suicide is selfish, you've never been suicidal"

Suicide.

Suicide is a word that makes your mouth go dry. Immediately sends chills up your spine. Every time you hear that word, the room gets quiet. When you hear suicide it immediately makes you sad, because you know that someone is hurting. Someone felt so unhappy with their situation, that they ended their life.

One thing suicide doesn’t do is allow your life to get better. Now this is not an article telling you why you’re selfish if you stop having the power to live, because I understand that more than you know. You get tired of fighting every single day of your life.

Remember life does get better. Maybe not tomorrow, or next week, but one day it will. All the struggle you went through will be worth it, and you will be glad that you lived. Never ever let someone make you feel worthless. You are worth more than what a bully says.

Depression makes people feel helpless, lonely, and completely hopeless. Treating something as serious as suicide as if it’s nothing, only makes it worse. In most cases, it can be prevented just by just listening to them.. All anyone wants is to know that they are appreciated and loved.

I know exactly what it feels like. To want to end it. To sit on the bathroom floor, too sad to even cry. Body numb, too numb to feel anything at all. Sometimes you just have to pick yourself off the floor, and fight. Fight like hell to save your own life. Because that is only who can save you.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
