Dear Technology, I Hate that I Love You

Dear Technology,

To start, when I think of you the only thing that comes to mind is a quote from my girl Rihanna, "I hate how much I love you". I hate that you are literally my nearest and dearest pal. Let's be honest, when I am laying in bed who is always there cuddled between the covers with me? It's you, phone. When I am wandering around the house bored, unsure of what my next amazing move will be, who do I look to for guidance? It's you, TV. When I need a night in, who is always my companion? It's you, Netflix. I love you you guys, I really do, but holy crap I also really hate you because you are ruining my life.

Phone, I want to throw you across the room and let you break every time you freeze for no reason. I am trying to call my mom and your screen just does not open. It's not cute or funny, okay?! Not to mention when you don't have service, like screw you dude you had one job to get me in touch with my millions of friends across the world and you pretty much never do that.

TV, it's like you want me to fail. Finals are taking over and you are just like always around, tempting me to sit and eat all day long. I get it, you are rich and popular and America loves you, but it's not that easy for the rest of us! Not to mention you are literally made of drama, like cool it you are embarrassing yourself. And I am not even going to talk about the fact that you are super tight with Taylor Swift...not cool.

And last, but definitely not least, Netflix. You hoe. I don't remember what sleep is like and it's 100 percent your fault, you jerk. Thirteen seconds is not enough time to make a smart decision and close my computer. I go back to check my phone (which probably is not working) and the next thing I know a new episode is on. I am also positive that you are set on me being heart broken for the rest of my life introducing me to Tim Riggins like you did. That's just plain mean. But worst of all, you are just too exclusive. Only two people allowed on at a time? What are you? Just so cool that you can only have two pals at a time?

But what would I do without you guys? I tried to make list of "Things To Do If I Gave Up Technology" I literally came up with two things:

1. Read a book

2. Go for a walk

Yeah, sure, both sound great, but am I 1,000 years old?! How am I supposed to do those two things for the rest of my life? I need you technology. So here's what I think we should do. Let's make a deal:

You work when I use you and instead of calling you mean names I will keep you safe and not break you every six months. It seems like a no brainer to me, but it's up to you.

Sincerely,

Someone with a broken smartphone and six people on their Netflix account

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.

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.
