What I'm Thankful For

Thank you, 2016.

What I'm Thankful For
Food Network

Obviously, I'm thankful for things like my family, friends, boyfriend, dog, good health, and the roof over my head. But this year I want to make a list that's specific to 2016. In no specific order:

1. Harambe.

Everyone knows Harambe, and he has been an internet sensation for months now.

2. Bernie Sanders.

Although he wasn't the candidate and therefore didn't become the next president, this man has inspired so many young people to vote and bond over how great he is.

3. Corn dogs.

They're just great.

4. Finding Dory.

I waited thirteen years for this to happen, and it finally did and it was adorable.

5. The Chicago Cubs.

After 108 years it finally happened. I might not be the biggest Cubs fan, but it was great to see Chicago so happy, and for so many people to be brought together.

6. Spongegar.

These memes had their hysterical way onto the internet this year.

7. Hotline Bling.

Not only was it catchy, but we got some pretty great memes from it too.

8. Dat boi.

9. Otters.

They're just adorable.


10. Food videos on Facebook.

I don't know why this started, but I'm so happy it did.

11. Stranger Things.

OBSESSED.

12. Spicy boys.

Soon enough, fire ants will officially be called spicy boys. Anything can happen in 2016.

13. President Obama.

It's his last year as president, and I'm going to miss him so much. He's probably the coolest president we've had.

14. Kanye on Twitter.

Watching Kanye rant and express his thoughts on Twitter is just hilarious.

15. Ken Bone.

While half of the people were focused on the presidential debate, the other half were focused on Ken Bone, who immediately became another internet sensation. Love the sweater, dude.

So that is what I'm thankful for in 2016. I'm sure 2017 will bring even more outrageous things to be thankful for.

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?

You are commonly asked what's wrong, when nothing is. What people don't know is that is just your facial expression. Here are some things they wish you knew.
