An Open Letter To Slow Wifi

You're killing me, slowly.

An Open Letter To Slow Wifi

Technology and I have a very interesting relationship. Sometimes we get along and sometimes I get so frustrated that I could pull my hair out. I've had several encounters with slow wifi, especially after living in a dorm my freshman year that had no wifi and required ethernet connection.

So, wifi, here's what I have to say to you:

Thank you for consistently disappearing right when I'm about to submit an assignment to Canvas for any of my classes. You were working perfectly fine when I was looking at cute dog videos on Youtube, but as soon as I really needed you, you let me down. I appreciate your irony.

Also, thank you for having problems when I need to send an email, like, within the next thirty seconds or when I need to print something quickly, because I'm leaving my apartment in exactly two minutes. Yes, the printer is connected. I just put in more paper yesterday, and I've changed the ink recently so stop telling me that there are problems with the printer. It's not the printer; it's you. It's not like there isn't a wire going directly from the printer to my laptop, but it's totally fine. You do you.

Thank you for making it impossible to work diligently in the library, as I have to try to refresh the page every five seconds. I don't have to do homework or study or anything, so don't even worry about it.

My absolute favorite, though, is when I go to a place that claims to have free wifi, it ceases to exist. I connect to the wifi and the wifi symbol pops up on my screen, showing full strength, and yet my safari browser can't load past a certain point. I find these situations extremely helpful.

I know I'm not the only one who gets easily aggravated by technology, especially since I have a habit of growing frustrated with inanimate objects much more than I do with people, so I needed to get this rant off of my chest and I swear I'm done now.

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.
