An Open Letter To God

Thoughts from a concerned daughter.

An Open Letter To God
artistichandsoffaith.com

Dear God,

I am writing this to understand you better. I am confused with life. I don’t understand what you want from us.

Ever since I moved to Boston, you have given me a lot of happiness. I had achieved a lot of amazing things. I had also become a better person. I have made such amazing friends. I got into Music Therapy, the major I am interested in, and the Indian Ensemble.

But God, when I am having such a good time, why do people around me have to suffer? When I reached India, my dear mother had been diagnosed with stomach cancer. It was so heartbreaking for me. I never expected anything like that to happen in my family. Along with that, my dear father is also sick, and my brother is not doing well in college.

My mom hasn't done anything. She has gone through a lot. Why her? She doesn't deserve this. Whereas I have troubled, cursed and yelled at my family so many times. Why do other people have to suffer? Why not me?

My life revolves around people. I can't see other people suffer. I don't mind going through a difficult phase, but if something happens to my family members, I can't take this!

If you are doing this to punish me, then why not put me into a difficult phase? Why my mother? She didn't do anything to deserve this.

I am not understanding life now. When I go through a bad time, my family members do well. When I go through a good time, my family member's go through a difficult time. Does sadness happen more in life than happiness?

Please tell me what you want from me. Please tell me what life is about. Please show me a way that I can repent all my sins. Please don't make us suffer.

I have had lots of dreams and hopes. I wanted my mom to see me graduate, see me get married and have kids. Please fulfill that for me. Please help her become stronger and fight through this. Please don't break this happy family apart.

If you want me to be happy and satisfied, then please make my mother alright! Please make my family happy again.

After so much difficulty and emotional support, I have come up. I don't want to come down again. In fact, nowadays, no other happy moment of mine is making me happy.

Please help me God! I have full faith in you! Please don't let me down!

Sincerely,
A Concerned Daughter

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:

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.
