I Miss YouBy Mariluz Ramey
A little bit of you and a little bit of meHave switched respective placesIn a mystifying weWhen miles come between usAnd our lives are drawn apartOur thoughts remain together Tugging softly at the heartThis lonliness without youTells of special moments shared and across milesJust how much weve always carriedThe emptiness that comes with just
The memory of your touch stirs aFeeling from withinThat says I miss you very much
Dear Sara Advice ColumnDear SaraIts hard to get people involved in activities on campus. Ive been try-ing to put out flyers, emails & announcements to let the studentsknow of events. What do you think I can do to get more people in-volved?Signed Helpless at WWRC

How to Look After Yourself
Although some mental illnesses may be genetically predetermined, or otherwise unavoidable, thereare ways to keep the blues at bay and make sure your mind and body stay healthy and happy.
Eat well and keep fit
Regular, healthy meals and moderate exercise can make a significant difference to your moods.You'll feel more energetic and able to look after yourself. There's also the added benefit of looking fitand toned, which is a confidence booster.
Do something you love
Write a list of all the things in life that you enjoy, no matter how trivial they might seem at first. Now plan to do at least one small thing every day, and have bigger things to look forward to as well. Ahobby or interest that totally absorbs your interest is great, even if it's just for an hour a week, butdon't take it to extremes and let it take over the whole of your life.
Make lots of friends
Even shy people can have an active social life. Get out and meet some new people, and remember -they don't have to be identical to you to be good friends. Avoid people who drag you down all thetime and never give anything in return for your support. Seek out the company of others who makeyou laugh, or feel inspired.
Learn how to handle stress
Don't be afraid of challenges, overcoming them will help to increase your self-confidence. Stressmanagement is not all about being passive, or lying down in a darkened room with a wet flannel onyour forehead! Learn some active techniques to help you relax, rather than monging out in front of
the telly, or getting drunk.
Big yourself up
If you're in the habit of putting yourself down a lot, try making a list of all your good qualities. Get afriend to help you. You'll be surprised at how long that list turns out to be. Remind yourself of the listfrom time to time.
Stay out of the downward spiral
Be honest about your feelings, but don't go on and on about feeling bad all the time to anyone who'lllisten, it will make you feel worse. Avoid sitting around and doing nothing for days on end, espe-cially if you're feeling a bit down, keep busy or do something deliberate to relax yourself.
Keep your brain active
Take an interest in what's going on in the world, or at least one area of it. Be enthusiastic about lifeand never stop learning.
Don't worry, be silly
Learn how to ignore the unimportant things that may niggle you, and break large unpleasant tasksdown into smaller, manageable chunks. Keep a sense of humour at all times, and try to see the funnyside of most situations.
