There Are Voices In Your Head

Am I hearing things or is someone actually saying something to me?

There Are Voices In Your Head

There can be moments where you feel like you're losing your mind. Why? You hear thoughts jumbling themselves up and you don't know what to do next until you make that final decision. In Pinocchio that would be Jimmy Cricket as his conscience but we don't get that. We get multiple voices in your head trying to tell us what to do. Sometimes it may make you question:

And other times you may think why do we have these voices in our heads. It's a never ending conflict but from my perspective it's

good because you can vent to yourself,

but bad because they may not fully know you as a person

There are moments when you're faced with a tough decision and you do not want to go to anyone for help or advice, you want to see where you take yourself. However, it's always difficult to make such decisions no matter what mood cycle you are in. Talking to yourself about it in public wouldn't be the best idea since you may end up being mad fun of for it. Sometimes you have to go to those voices to make the choice you may need to answer at that last second; even then the voices in your head won't help you right away since they don't know you that well all the time. When they do know you, however, they may end up helping make that choice you were going to go with all along. The voices are also

good because they help you communicate with people,

but sometimes the wrong thing could slip out.

When you feel like being social you just automatically go up to the person without thinking of more words to say than "hello, how are you?" Half the time the voices give you good topics to talk about so you don't scare away the person you're talking to. Other times an inappropriate comment would slip out making the conversation awkward and everything silent.

Don't let these voices fool you, they can end up making you or breaking you in the near future. You just have to be careful with how and when you listen to them.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
