There are a lot of stigmas that come with being Catholic and practicing your faith in this day and age is harder than ever before. While people are offended by God's name and feel judged by anyone of religious background, the world has created their own idea of who Catholics are. While most of them are completely off, here are a few accurate depictions of Catholics and daily mass goers.

1. We’re not all old people who wag their fingers at people for living differently.

People who are very involved in their Catholic faith and attend daily mass regularly are some of the most understanding and non-judgmental people you will ever meet. Just because they choose to dive deeper into their relationship with God shouldn't automatically put them into the condemning corner.

2. Getting in line to receive the Eucharist is actually so exciting!

I mean who wouldn't be excited to receive the actual body and blood of Jesus Christ?!

3. We all know we're broken and that life can get tough, that's why we choose to let God heal us.

Even in the dry seasons of our faith, we know God is the way, the truth, and the life, so why not keep chugging along?

4. Meeting someone who is also Catholic, commence  the celebration.

While everyone these days are offended by using God's name, finding someone who shares your faith opens the door to pretty much every topic without a filter!

5. Adoration is the single most beautiful sight you will ever see.

"That's it. That's all we need. Not much, right? It's just a piece of bread. But the power contained in that monstrance is enough to satisfy the deepest desires of every living being. Crazy."

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?
