Love Live Sunshine has completely changed my life for the past three years especially when the first season first aired.

When it aired, it was the start of my first semester during my second year in college, and at that time, I was just so out of touch with everything. I felt disconnected with everything I love, like and just anything that I was passionate about during that time. I felt so numb and just nothing, that I was scared that something might be wrong with me.

But then as I continue to watch every episode each week, seeing the girls struggle to chase their dreams, it gave me hope, it gave me back my passion which was writing and it just honestly made me feel alive. I look forward to every Saturday during that time. Watching love live sunshine was just my driving force- it was just what kept me going through the week; counting down days until the next episode and rewatching the episode until Saturday comes again because seeing those girls have fun, connecting with each other, pushing each other to be better, and just accept each other no matter how different they all are, just puts a smile to my face.

It inspires me and it just makes me happy and before I knew it, the season was over and my first semester is coming to a close too. I made sure to finish all of my school works before Saturday, I made sure to study in advance just so I can have a Saturday off for watching Love Live Sunshine and it actually paid off. I ended up having such a high grade that I became a President Lister in my university.

Listening to their songs, watching them develop for two seasons, watching niconamas, going to live viewings and just being a part of this community has helped me so much. Love Live Sunshine and just Aqours gets me through the day, this may sound cheesy and all but they honestly saved my life and just made it better.

And now, I'm almost in my last year in college. It'll be my fourth and final year (hopefully) this coming June 2018, the second semester of my third year in college is coming to a close too this March and I am now once again filing up the paper work to be a President's Lister in my university and it's all because of the help of  Love Live Sunshine once again. The second season aired at the start of the second semester.

And honestly, a few months before season 2,  I was contemplating whether to drop out or not because I just couldn't take it anymore, and I feel like I don't have a dream at all and I was just going through the flow of things and it made so scared for my future.

But Love Live Sunshine was just that light in this dark dark place and so it's truly fitting that it's called "Sunshine".

It reminded me of what I wanted to do, of why I'm here and why I shouldn't give up.

I will never ever get tired of shows that's always about chasing your dreams and never giving up and Love Live Sunshine excels in making you feel like you can do anything if you just believe in yourself and just do what ever it takes to achieve your dreams, and as someone who is always on the verge of giving up everyday, I appreciate Love Live's message and that's why I say it gives me hope and that's why I love it so much.

Thank you Love Live for making me remember of what my dream is, reminding me of why Im doing what I am doing, reminding me better days will come and with just a little push I'l be okay.
