Take a second to imagine a world without social media. It's a little difficult to picture, right? Social media has rapidly become an integral part of everyday life. It is rare that students aren't checking their news feed on Twitter, snapping pictures of their lunch for Instagram or trying out the newest filters on Snapchat.

Many students have developed a dependency on social media; a dependency that can have negative effects over time, even mental health related issues. Social media has been linked to depression, narcissistic personality disorder and insomnia. Because young adults are the most avid social media users, is it too far-fetched to say that they are the most susceptible to social media related mental health issues? How can we get a grip on this before it spirals out of control?

Jenny Maher, Mental Illness Analyst and Perseverance Expert, has taken her story of resilience to the shelves in her inspirational memoir, "Never Give Up: How Determination and God Gave Me a Better Look at Life." A book that showcases her determination to beat the odds, Never Give Up is a spiritual tale that needs to be told.

"Never Give Up: How Determination And God Gave Me A Better Look at Life" takes the reader through her battle to survive in a Veterans Hospital for nearly four years, where she faced life-threatening infections, surgeries, and even mistreatment. But her indomitable will to overcome her physical challenges prevailed. She has overcome a lifetime of unimaginable struggles and is now on a mission to help others accomplish these same feats.
