To Write Love on Her Arms

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

The statistics are scary. Suicide takes the lives of about 30,000 Americans each year. 1 out of 8 suffer from drug or alcohol addiction in the U.S. alone. Worldwide, over 120 million suffer from depression. The third leading cause of death in our age group is suicide. Love IS the movement – take that extra minute to ask your friends how they’re doing, talk to the ones you may be concerned about and reach out for help if you yourself are struggling. Love yourself, love each other.

Jessica is one half of the fantastic duo founding Her Campus on the leafy suburban campus that is The College of New Jersey. A Journalism major and Communications minor in the Class of 2012, she is a native of Pennsylvania and an adoptive resident of New Jersey. That's why she can't fist pump, but can pump gas. Before Her Campus, Jessica was a newspaper reporter, communications assistant and world traveler, having studied and interned abroad in London. When she's not writing or talking up a storm, Jessica can be found bargain shopping, catching up on a good book, fiddling with her camera or attempting to stay in shape. Other passions include hummus, tickling those ivories on the piano, meeting new people and all things Her Campus.
