This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at JMU chapter.

This past week was suicide awareness week and JMU’s Counseling and Student Developing Center, Student Wellness and Outreach, Active Minds, and other campus organizations have collaborated to raise awareness about suicide. Suicide is actually one of the leading deaths in the US within the ages of 15-25 years of age; because of this JMU is spreading the “Yellow Ribbon” around campus to let our students know there is hope!

Have you ever thought "Am I the only one who..."? I'm sure you have, and I promise you're not. Live the life you love. I don't take things too seriously, because life is too short to be so obsessed with what everyone thinks of me. I became a writer so I could say what everyone else is thinking. I believe that treating others the way you want to be treated means you will never have to regret a decision you make. I make mistakes, but that's what makes great articles!
