Be Thankful For Your Support System
Respiro News

Have ya'll had those moments in life when you completely flip your lid and just go off? Like you know what I mean? Those moments when you break down and feel all alone? It's in those moments that you realize just how lucky you are. I think it's because in those dark moments of sadness and not knowing what it is that you're doing you realize that you have some pretty amazing people in your corner.

Recently, I have had one of those moments where I really had no idea which way to go. I felt like I was all alone in this deep, dark pit and no one could hear me screaming for help. That's a pretty rough analogy, I know, but I think we have probably all been in the pit of despair at least once in our lives. It's an unfortunate situation to find yourself in because you feel helpless but when you look up from the darkness you see the faces of all the people who love you, smiling at you, trying to help get you out. Those smiling faces of people that love you is what I like to call a support system.

Your support system is always in your corner no matter what. Even if they know good and well that you're wrong, and even if you know you're wrong, you know your support system is in your corner. They're there to give you support constantly. This is something that not everyone is blessed with but for those of us that are blessed with this support system, we should all be thanking God every day that we were blessed with these people in our lives.

It occurs to me that lately I have been doing a lot of complaining about things in my life. I've been quite simply whining and "a fussin" as we say in the South. I take full responsibility for that too. Meanwhile the whole time I have been whining and complaining about things in my life such as where I live and where I work, there have been people in my corner the whole time loving me unconditionally. I feel so ignorant that I haven't realized until now just how substantial those people are to my life. But now that I have realized it I want to thank those people.

So thank you guys. Thank you for letting my cry on your shoulder at times. Thank you for letting be mad about things I can't change. Thank you for letting me wallow in pity for a little while. Thank you for coming to my rescue when I didn't know which way to go. Thank you for telling me you love me. Thank you for never giving up on me when I wasn't sure I had strength to push forward. Thank you for holding my hand through the flames. Thank you for never turning your back on me when I have continuously had the same song and dance. Thank you for all your words of advice. Thank you for the late night phone calls. Thank you not ever letting me feel like I'm alone. Thank you for not letting me make some pretty huge mistakes. Thank you for every single, little thing you have all done for me. There are so many things that I should thank you guys for I just can't think of them all right now. But thank you. I will forever be indebted to you all for always being in my corner.

I am ever so thankful, even if I haven't always shown it, for each and every one of you. I love you all to the moon and all the way back. I always have. I always will. I love ya'll. Thank you for being my support and for always being in my corner.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
