5 Reasons Easter Kinda Sucks

The day of the Resurrection deserves more than just Veggie Tales reruns

Admit it: you hate Easter. All the pastels and egg hunts and grinning cartoon rabbits fail to enhance your life, and that's understandable. Yeah, it's the commemoration of our Lord and Savior being raised from the dead, but does anyone actually enjoy the holiday aspect of it all?

Even as a kid, I wasn't really that into it — and that's saying a lot. If it wasn't for Reester Bunnies, I doubt the holiday would still exist in its current form.

Here are some of the worst aspects of the Easter season.

1. The extra-long church services.

This is such a juvenile complaint, but it's still very valid. No matter how much you pretend, there's no way you enjoy sitting through two hours of an Easter vigil, and there's also no way you're still happy having to get up the next morning.

2. Bunnies wearing clothes.

I've covered this topic once before, but I feel it merits a repeat. Stuffed bunnies that wear old floral dresses should in no way be present in anything other than hell. Look into that thing's eyes and tell me Jesus wants to see that on the day of his rebirth. You can't.

3. Easter eggs.

When I think of eggs, I do not think of happiness. I think of the odor those hard-boiled devils give off when you crack one open. Even the plastic ones are lame; they promise joy with their bright colors and designs only to let you down with a miniature Snickers or a single yellow Starburst. Pathetic.

4. The TV specials that are nothing special.

No children's show in its right mind would make an Easter special, and if they did, they didn't spend enough time on it to avoid the obvious tropes (with the exception of Max and Ruby — #iconic).

Christmas specials are so much better, probably because they have way better material to go off of. This is just another reminder that Easter will never be Christmas.

5. The awkward family dinner.

Yeah, you get this at multiple points throughout the year, but this is by far the worst one. The reason? No one can remember why you're all eating together.

At least on Christmas, you know you're going to open presents next. On Thanksgiving, you know you're just waiting to fall into a turkey coma. But on Easter? You're just wishing it was all over.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
