You Aren't 'Too Cool' For Therapy

You Aren't 'Too Cool' For Therapy

It is ok to feel your feelings.

But sometimes it helps when you can talk to someone about your feelings.

I recently have been going to therapy sessions and my therapist is constantly giving me tools and coping mechanisms to help me cope with my new found anxiety and insecurities.

I have to say that coming out of a therapy session makes you feel more confident and releases a lot of stress. It's always good to talk to your BFF about what's going on in your life, but sometimes getting a professionals opinion on what's going on in your life can help you emotionally get through the day, week, or month.

It also opens your mind to new ideas and ways of living your everyday life.

I hate that therapy has this stigma attached to it that it isn't "cool" or there must be something wrong with you if you have to go to therapy. There is no "having to go" either. It is a decision I have made myself to better my mental health and state of mind.

Also while we are on the topic of mental health can we please stop incorrectly self-diagnosing ourselves with "OCD" and "Anxiety"? I wish I could count the countless number of tweets I see of teens talking about their so-called "anxiety" in a joking manner. Why is your mental health something to talk about? Because last time I checked that is not something that you should be joking about.

In conclusion, don't be scared to try out a therapy session. I promise nothing bad can come out of it.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
