Dear Friends, Family and Internet Strangers,

Thank you for actually reading this.

I am well aware that a lot of my articles left something to be desired. "9 Reasons Why October Is The Best Month" and "How To Pack For Spring Break 2016" are so cliché and so overdone. At least I didn't write "7 Reasons Why Being A Female Potato is Acceptable." Not going to lie, there are a lot of really bizarre articles on this website.

Of course, there are a lot of clichés that people love to complain about. What's ironic is that the ones people complain about get the most likes and shares. Do we really need 40 different listicles on what it's like to go to a liberal arts college? No. Do they still get more shares than my actual news articles? You bet.

If you look through the list of articles I've written, the ones detailing current events or criticizing social trends are the least popular. I want to give an extra large thank you to the people who actually read those instead of just the ones that have "New Girl" gifs in them.

Interestingly, you all seemed to really like my attempts at being inspirational. Who knew that so many people wanted to read about why I stopped wearing bras for a period of time or my advice on how to love yourself more? Maybe I should just become an advice columnist and have a "Dear Liza" section of the newspaper, where I get to tell people what I think they should do with their lives.

You even appreciated some of my feminist rants! Thanks for that! There were a few people who complained that I talk about inequalities regarding sex, gender, sexuality and race too much. I must be a really horrible person. Maybe I should have written "Why White Privilege Is As Racist As It Sounds" instead. No, I'm actually really glad I didn't write that.

Here is an extra thanks for reading this, considering it bears more resemblance to one of those sitcom episodes where they run out of new ideas, so they just compile a whole bunch of flashbacks. I also feel a little bad about being sarcastic and criticizing strangers' ideas, but that's pretty much what the internet is all about nowadays, right? Thanks for reading my lists, stories, letters and whatever else I pulled wrote, 10 minutes before the deadline. Hopefully, you'll be reading higher quality articles from me in higher quality publications in the future.

Sincerely,

Your favorite aspiring journalist.
