Halloween is a memory. Daylight savings has stolen an hour, and the air feels colder now, heavy with the scent of fallen leaves. The streets are painted yellow and orange, and the wind rattles bare branches. Midterms are behind me, but finals are looming, closer than I'd like.

This, they say, is the real start of the semester—the moment when college actually begins.

So far, it hasn't been terrible. I arrived at Sellean University in late August, and now it's mid-November. The honeymoon phase is over.

I've experienced the typical trials and tribulations or canon events. Firstly, I had a falling out with my roommate, although our friendship is strong today. I also went through a friend group and fell for a few stray, lonely boys.

However, for me, it's not as simple as a quick read and a page-turn to the next. I suffer from major depressive disorder, social anxiety, and anxiety. These cause me to overthink irrationally, filling my mind with thoughts that are not factually based and affect how I operate.
