An Open Hate Letter To Spring Break

Thanks for being a terrible break.

An Open Hate Letter To Spring Break
Shyanne White

Dear Spring Break,

You have sucked. Majorly. I went home with high hopes that for once, my break wouldn't be a complete bust, and I was let down. Very let down.

I sit in a bed, typing away simply because I have nothing better to do. I don't have any plans, I don't have anywhere to go. Why am I always the one that is stuck doing nothing while everyone else I know is out travelling or keeping themselves occupied enough so they're not on Facebook all day? I have relaxed enough. Five straight days of "Netflix and chill" has been enough. I'm ready to actually do something now, but I don't have anything to do thanks to you.

I went to work because I was so desperate. I was on break, yet I wanted to work because the amount of boredom has been driving me insane. I scroll on Facebook constantly, and all I see are pictures of everyone else having fun and making memories. The only thing I'm making is my ham sandwich for lunch.

On top of all of that, you almost killed off my dog. Was that really necessary? As if I wasn't having a horrible time already, you just decided to test my on-the-spot thinking capabilities. News flash: I already know they suck. Thank you, though. I really enjoyed the amount of trauma that caused. Could not have asked for anything better. You also tried to kill me. Cats, food that has made me sick for four days straight, two inches away from having a car collision that would've ended my life? Thrilling. Really.

Then, I finally departed home for my friend's house. I was really excited that for once, maybe, just maybe, I would be able to have a good time. Turns out I had to turn around the next day and go to my other friend's house due to transportation arrangements to get back to campus. So I mean I guess I can say I travelled this break, but not in the cool kind of way where I'm going to new places and discovering cool things with other people. It was more of a I was car sick most of the time, and all I wanted to do was sleep type of deal.

What about now? What exciting things will you bring into my life these next three days? Anything? I tried to be positive about this break. I tried to convince myself it wouldn't be the same old sitting on my butt all day staring at a screen watching other people have fun type of break. I tried to make things more exciting. You just insisted on being like the rest of breaks, except a lot more traumatic. I guess at least you had some character. Thanks?

I hope you're proud of your accomplishments. I hope you enjoyed making me feel like I just wasted a week and I'm about to waste two more days. I wish this could've gone better. I really do.

I won't miss you. I'll just miss not having to put on real pants.

So much hate,

Shyanne

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
