Dear Student Wifi

Why are you everything that you are?

Dear Student Wifi

Dear BCU Student Wifi,

Thou art a beslubbering, folly-fallen, flap dragon.

For if you were an actor you'd be Nic Cage. Because you rarely work, and when you do it's still shitty.

If you were a TV show, you'd be "Two Broke Girls" because you somehow suck more now than you did when I first saw you three years ago.

It's fitting that your icon looks like a tornado because you blow... a lot.

In the three years that I've known you, you've always been flaky but recently you've become utterly unreliable. You're like every Bond villain's plan: you start off fast and show great promise, but just end up being something that makes me shout to the screen, "Just fucking do it already!"

And it's one thing to not work, but it's another to give me hope and then obliterate that hope like you're a freaking jackhammer on concrete. So please, can you tell me why you will load the ad of a YouTube video but not the actual video? Or why you will load the title of an article but not the article? Or perhaps you can tell me why that blue bar will go shooting across the screen and then suddenly stop, less than an inch from completing the task? Seriously, why was the first 95% of that journey as easy as traveling is in every movie montage ever, but the last 5% is like you're taking the ring to Mordor?

I mean come on, what's the deal? Is it me?

Are you doing this because I connect to a different wifi network when I go home?

You gotta know that the other wifi network doesn't mean anything to me. Whenever I have to connect to it, I'm only thinking about you. Okay?

And I know I was kinda harsh earlier, but even when you're utterly dysfunctional I never leave you for the "guest" wifi. And I always encourage you to "try again" when you fail.

So is it really too much to ask for you to work? You've done it before.

There was that one time on August 23, 2014 and that other time on January 6, 2015. Whaddya say you try and recapture those glory days, huh?

Until then, I'll be over here reading like a goddamn pilgrim.

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.

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.
