An Open Appreciation Letter To Tapingo
Tapingo

You make my life so much easier. Because of you, I no longer have to interact with other humans when I'm hungry. You tell me how long I'll have to wait, and how many people are in front of me in line. You give me a variety of nutritional options. I can browse through combo meals, sides, drinks, and even extras. I have an option to get Starbucks coffee.

Thank you for saving my history, just so I know how many carbohydrates I have had this week compared to other weeks. You save my payment methods for time efficiency. You allow me to share the app with my friends so they, too, are about to slowly become antisocial. You save my favorite meals so I can move quickly. You make it easier to fit meals into my schedule.With you, I know what to expect.

Sometimes.

Other times, who even knows? My phone might die, or my app might crash, and then what will I do? Talk to other people or starve? What about when my favorite food is out of the mix, or I forget to order a "to go" box while it's pouring down rain?

I think my favorite part is when you inform me that you'll "Be back soon." How reassuring, even though I know my dining hall is open. Thank you for having a delivery option to tease me, because I know for a fact no one is going to come to my room to give me food.

Every meal, you ask me to rate my service. If I said three stars for lunch, you best bet I will put three for dinner. I don't want to rate you. If asking me so often isn't bad enough, if I put a low enough rating, you ask me to explain where it all went wrong. PLEASE STOP. Half of the time you ask what's wrong, it's actually the fact that you're asking that makes me so displeased.

Honestly, Tapingo, overall you're great. But please don't make me get my hopes up when I see an update in the App Store for you--I know it isn't going to make a difference in the long run.

Sincerely, College Students Everywhere

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.
