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

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
