Even those who hate it will regret wishing it away so fast.

An Open Letter To High School Seniors
Brianna Williams

Dear seniors,

I know exactly how you feel at this point because I was there at this time last year. You can't wait for Christmas break because that means only a few more months until you walk across the stage. You feel like this year has just dragged on and on and you just can't wait to get to college.

Well from someone who was just like you, slow down.

Soak it up and enjoy it. Enjoy the last months with your friends and having easy assignments (they may seem hard now but just wait). Have fun and enjoy the moment you're in because college is more than just parties and football games. College is long walks to a class where the teacher will never know your name, a 5-page essay and 150 question homework assignments due in two days. It's being far away from home, and it's being hungry all the time because you can't afford to eat anywhere other than the cafeteria that closes at 7. Though college can be fun and the best time of your life, it's so stressful. These are things no one will tell you and you won't want to believe but you'll quickly realize in August. Being excited is normal, but as your senior year comes to a close here are a few things you should definitely do. Go to the dances and the games and the parties. Hang out with your friends because your time with them is running short. Make sure you will absolutely love where you're gonna go. Pass all your classes and don't slack just because it's the end (every senior is guilty of this honesty we know waking up in the morning is tough). Don't worry about what you're gonna be. All of those things are so important. Enjoy your senior year because you're gonna look back on these days and you want to be able to say you at least had some fun in high school, so live it up.

Sincerely,

A college freshman

The Unwritten Rules Of "Talking"

What is "talking?" How does one "talk?"

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
