There are a lot of misconceptions about obsessive-compulsive disorder, which is commonly shortened to OCD. Just because you like to clean does not necessarily mean you have OCD. For as long as I’ve been old enough to know what OCD is, people all around me have been saying, “I’m just so OCD.” Even at the time before I was diagnosed with OCD, I couldn’t understand why people were using it when they did not have OCD.

Have you ever worked a job made miserable by the so-called office “mean girl?” Being harassed or given the silent treatment at work by one or more people seems like a universal experience for those who have participated in the workforce.

Everywhere I go, I cannot escape the confounding amount of PDA around campus that I see daily, which makes me want to crawl into a hole. Last week while on the bus, minding my own business, I saw a couple on public transit.

I am sorry. To all the women and girls who woke up to see Donald Trump had won the 2024 U.S. election. America has once again chosen a convicted felon and accused rapist to run the country, instead of defending your right to decide what to do with your body. My heart goes out to those who voted for human rights above gas prices. To every person who convinced themselves there was no way that Kamala could lose, I am sorry people chose a reduction in taxes over the well-being of other people.

I have always been an exceptionally average person. My grades were always mediocre at best, always obtaining either Bs or Cs so much, so my motto became “Cs get degrees.”I was never picked first for dodgeball or stood out in a crowded room. I often blended in with the shadows in the back, being happy to be hidden but envious of those who could garner attention either with academics or a bubbly personality.
