hey guys

aaron: as you've said before and chels touched upon it too, you should be honest with your partner. At the same time, i don't think you should push him too much because if you care for him you should realize that studying is important to him. let him know how you feel and both of you should make compromises...like seeing him less than usually but at least you still get to see him right?? Because in a relationship it's not all about you.

Chels: in terms of your depression and morality, we actually did talk about it in psych. It's normal to feel depressed when you're thinking about how you're impacting the world globally or even when you're thinking about people who live with a low standard of living and how they suffer,,,for example. I used to be like that but I think you'll eventually realize that there are things that you can do to combat that feeling like volunteering and just helping people out whenever you can.

That doesn't mean that you should give money to those living on the street every time they ask, but just be open minded when you're near them and stuff like that. You can make a small difference, but difference nonetheless when you're volunteering. Before, i would be depressed because i would feel like i'm not contributing to the needy on a larger scale but any time i volunteer, I know that I am contributing something.

Of course it would be nice and dandy to make a big difference on a worldwide scale but you need to start somewhere, right?

Anyways cheer up because you're contributing to the lives of children with disabilities by partaking and fundraising for the easter seal :D

P.S Aaron and Joanne, would you like to donate money to fund a summer camp for children with disabilities? ???

Take care,
Lily
