The Harshest Thing You Could Do

People can be nasty

The Harshest Thing You Could Do

I was thinking of some heavy things.

My mind tends to have a highly active imagination and when I’m bored or doing nothing in class (which is like half of my school day,) I think of random things that don’t relate to what I’m doing that day.

Today, in the middle of biology class, my mind was wandering.

I was thinking of the meanest and cruelest thing one person can do to another person emotionally.

Now, if we were talking about a bigger scale of cruel and mean things, there are the obvious choices one might assume, like murdering someone or drowning their hamster.

But I was thinking about things in an emotional way.

I’m a pretty emotional person.

Now as I was thinking I finally came to a decision on the cruelest thing a person can do and I think that is to give someone false hope.

To give someone a fake realization can be an unknown crime to someone. This makes it tricky because the person who is giving the empty promises and stolen lies can be completely unaware of their actions until proven guilty.

I guess you can say I’ve had my fair share of experiences just like this.

Giving someone empty promises is a very harsh thing to do, especially if someone has a highly active imagination like I do.

I constantly make mini scenarios in my head that would never happen so when they do, you can imagine my excitement.

But expectation isn't everything, and everything will work out in the end.

If it's not worked out then it's not the end.

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?
