You Deserve Happiness

And it's seriously that simple.

You Deserve Happiness

If you're wondering if you deserve happiness or why everything just doesn't feel right in your life right now, just know that it's going to be ok and that everything happens for a reason. While there's going to be good days and there's going to be bad days, one thing is certain: you deserve happiness.

Trust me; I know it's not easy.

People are going to be rude and some are going to try and create drama when they have the opportunity. However, while you're reading this, you should know that it happens to everyone and you are not alone when it comes to having these feelings or perspective.

2019 (or whatever year you are reading this in) is your year and nothing should change that. Whether it started out rough or incredible, there is still time to turn it around and make it what you want it to be.

Life is like a car and you're the driver. If you don't like where you're headed, turn around or make a quick right. It's ok to remove toxic and negative people from your life and distance yourself from things you realized are not worth your time or energy anymore.

Bad days are still, unfortunately, going to happen here and there. However, learning how to handle them and make them less of an emotional tragedy (depending on the severity of what happened of course) will make you a stronger person.


So if you're reading this because you needed it or simply because you saw it somewhere across social media, remember that you deserve everything you want out of life and more. Take a deep breath today and focus your energy on the positive aspects of life.

Life is what you make it and it's the way you react to certain things that happen that ultimately shapes you into who you are. Keep doing your thing, whatever that may be, and things are going to work out.

This is your year!

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?
