To The Person Who Is Continuously Spreading Negativity During This Time: Please Stop

It truly is making things worse.

To The Person Who Is Continuously Spreading Negativity During This Time: Please Stop

We are all stuck in the same situation.

Staying home for weeks is not an ideal situation for anyone. However, having a negative mindset will just make matters worse. I understand we all have our own demons to fight, but why don't we spread more positivity? As I sit here, reading through social media posts and scrolling through text messages, I can't help but be upset. You are saying that if we return to school in the fall, we will all fall sick and many of us will die. This is truly blowing things out of proportion.

No one knows what happens next.

Three months ago, no one would've believed us if we said a global pandemic was about to occur. Therefore, we cannot make assumptions about what life will be like three months from now. Negativity may affect someone more than you think. Being anxious is okay, and being optimistic about the future is also okay. When this whole mess began, I found myself reading through fake news and feeling my body become more and more stressed. However, after almost eight weeks, I've learned to not believe everything social media tells me. The constant reminders about everything going wrong doesn't help a single individual. None of us have ever experienced something like this, so all we can make are educated guesses.

Don't worry, there are brighter days ahead.

So, to whoever is reading this, I'm here for you. I'm here to say that things will get better. No one knows when and how but things will return back to normal. If you think you've been having a negative outlook, try making a list of things that make you happy. Dwelling on the negatives will not makes those negatives go away. It'll make them worse. Spreading anxiety will be much less impactful than spreading love and positivity. I dare you to do one kind act for someone else. It'll make everyone's day.

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
