What do you do, when you’re emotionally drained?

Do you cry so hard that it looks like it rained?

Drown yourself in deep thoughts, ‘cause you can hardly breathe.

Mixed signals all around, feels like you can’t even read.


What do you do, when you’re emotionally drained?

Does it feel like a Tsunami, a Tornado or hurricane?

Close yourself in a bubble, then fear you might burst.

Having you’re trust broken, saying I’m OK, just like you rehearsed.


What do you do, when you’re emotionally drained?

Sometimes even you don’t know the cause of all your pain.

They tell you to cheer up, you just need tougher skin.

But sometimes you’ve given up, doesn't feel like you’ll ever win.


What do you do, when you’re DONE being emotionally drained?

You pick up the pieces and leave just as you came.

No more moping, no mascara tears falling down your face.

You walk with your head up high and plenty of grace.

What do you do, when you’re emotionally drained?

You leave all of it behind, No more of that pain.

Kiss goodbye all of your fears, your pain is no more.

Start a new chapter, and with this one, you close the door.

Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
