Dear Cancer, You Suck

I dream of the day that you do not exist

Dear Cancer, You Suck

Dear Cancer,

F**k you. Usually, I would apologize for the vulgarity but not this time.

This is for the millions of life taken too soon,

This is for the millions still living in pain because of the lives that were taken,

This is for the millions currently fighting for their lives,

I have never hated one single thing so much in my life. You give me so much anger that has nowhere to go. You come into someone's life and just destroy until there is nothing left but pain in the hearts of people who deserve so much better. You cause pain to people who deserve to find nothing less than serenity. You bring sadness and anger to the ones who deserve happiness and eternal peace. Those who lose their lives to you deserve to be alive, and you, you should not exist. You deserve death, not those innocent souls.

I have watched you come in and destroy so many lives. I have watched you impact my friends, I have seen you impact my friend's loved ones, and now I watched as you took the life of one of my loved ones. As much as my heart aches for my loss, it is also aching for everyone else because it just is not fair. It is not fair that you get to come out of nowhere and destroy the lives of people who worked so hard to live that life you took. It is not fair that you impact lives of people that deserve a life full of happiness and you turn their lives to a life full of struggle.

There have not been many moments in my life that I have doubted God, but you cancer, you make me doubt God. Why are you on this earth? Why would God create something so horrid and dreadful that takes the lives of innocent kind souls? Why would He allow you to take all those lives? Why does He continuously allow you to hurt millions of genuinely loving people?

I always try to look on the bright side, but with you, there is no bright side. You come into innocent lives and suck all the happiness out of those lives until you have consumed it all and leave amazing souls with only pain and despair. It is unnerving just to think about the millions of lives you have ruined. You are a terrible, disastrous, and hideous disease. I can only dream that one day you will not exist.

I dream that one day something will come into this world that can heal all the hearts you broke. I hope that one day, everyone who has lost a loved one to you gets to be reunited with that loved one. I wish for the day that all the pain you are currently causing and all that pain you caused in the past becomes non-existent. The day you are gone is the day I am the happiest girl alive.

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.

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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

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.
