An Open Letter To My Laptop

I think I love you

88
An Open Letter To My Laptop
Shannon Roewe

Dear laptop,

I haven’t always had you and I know at some point I did function without you. You’re my right-hand man. We’re inseparable. As much as I know I shouldn’t be, I’m obsessed with you.

You’re my light in the darkness.

Countless hours I’ve stayed up staring at your captivating screen watching Netflix, writing essays, or other things I choose to partake instead of sleep.

You’re a balance of work and play.

So I’m sitting in the library looking at you…am I doing homework or creating a Spotify playlist? Only the two of us really know.

You’re my crutch.

Sometimes I don’t have anything to do but I feel awkward just sitting there so I'll open you up and pretend I have a reason to by typing nonsense.

You’re my confidant.

You know my thoughts and have seen all my searches and yet you don’t judge me for it. You know if I am being productive or just "chatting online with babes."


You’re with me everywhere I go.

I don’t leave without you because I enjoy your company. I put you in my backpack and take you everywhere and I pretend you don't make my bag weigh a million pounds.

You always know the answer.

Thank you for always knowing what to say and thank you for answering all the stupid questions I’m too embarrassed to ask other people.

When you fail, I fail.

You know I love you but sometimes you’re not so clutch. I guess some of that is my fault for procrastinating.

You know me so well.

You finish my sentences and show me ads that you know I’m interested in. Just kidding stop that you creeper!

Sincerely,

Every college student

Ps – Something that is unique to the way I write articles is I like to recommend a song that fits with the theme. This week’s song suggestion: Digital Witness by St. Vincent

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.

The dynamics of any friend group are usually determined by the personalities which make it up. Chances are, while personalities may overlap, each person in your friend group holds his or her own place. It is the differences which bring the groups together and keep them functioning. No matter how functionally dysfunctional your friend group may be, if you're anything like me, you feel absolutely blessed to have found such a wonderful group of humans to call "your people." Here is what your friend group might look like if they were Disney princesses (and that wasn't just a thing you all pretended in your heads):
