An Open Letter To My Bank Account

You've seen me at my best and at my worst and that takes commitment.

An Open Letter To My Bank Account
The Odyssey

Dear Bank Account,

We've been through so much together. You've seen me at the best of the best and worst of the worst. I just checked you though and apparently my "Treat Yo Self" weekly spendings have really brought you down. How can I only have $1.51 in my bank account? I blame it on college. College has really been hard on you and I'm not so sure what to do about it. There's always something to spend money on and always something I need and you've suffered a lot from that.

I'm the stereotypical broke college student and every day, I realize that more than the day before. Every day when I went to the campus Starbucks after class and spent $4.87 on my iced triple shot latte or I can't forget all the Chipotle trips after class because my class was so close to downtown and I figured why not go to Chipotle than eating dining hall food. I don't even want to think about Halloween weekend when I needed not one, but four outfits. Or the first week after bid day when I spent frivolous amounts on sorority clothes. I've put you through a lot.

Maybe I should apologize. Apologize for using and abusing you constantly, every day. I can't help that a girl needs food, makeup, and tons of clothes and you provide me that. But I know that I go too far a lot of times. As in, I've gone into the negatives, but you've still been there for me and that takes a lot. I know that college has really taken a toll on you and in my defense, college is expensive. I need clothes for different themed parties and food because the dining halls are insanely disgusting.

I'm the one who needs help, my aimless spending is getting the best of me and making me poorer every day. I depend on you for everything so I should thank you too. Thank you for being there for me even when I only have $1.51. You've seen me through the highs and the lows, literally. You've saved me, but you've also screwed me over, partially from my doing.

Again to my caring bank account, I'm sorry for the abuse I put you through this past semester. Also, let me just apologize for the future abuse you're going to go through. I'll try to be less broke, but there's no promises because even if I just sat in my dorm room staring at a wall, college makes you broke.

Sincerely,

Me

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.

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.
