The decision that shocked the world is the UK’s vote to leave the European Union. Results further confirmed that the "leave" vote had won, 52% to 48%. This result caused a shift in the present global economy. British Prime Minister David Cameron, who has fully supported the cause to stay in the European Union, has announced that he will be stepping down from his position effective in three months. Economic stability will be key to Europe staying afloat the next few months after over 17 million people voted to leave the economic safety net.

Believe in democracy? A record number of Britons, almost 46.5 million, were registered to vote and over 33.5 million cast ballots. According to analysts, this was a higher turnout then expected. This goes to show that people will show up when it really matters. Many believe that this can transition into Britain being able to hold its own again and become more of a world power that it was a century ago. To do this, the country had to once again separate itself into a free market economy where true democracy shall prevail. This is a true win for the ordinary man and women who is not controlled by money.

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?
