A Thank You Letter To My Computer
marie claire

Dear Computer,

There is so much to thank you for, you are like my lifeline. Thank you for distracting me from life when I need it. For being my way to help me cope by providing me with all my favorite passers of time. Thank you computer for providing me with Netflix, YouTube and social media, huge shoutout to them for being there for me when nothing else is or I'm too lazy to do anything. And even for entertainment purposes when I'm absolutely bored out of my mind or procrastinating for that math test in two days.

Thanks for helping me with my tremendously difficult schoolwork, by letting me Google my way through my studies. People just assume search engines for schoolwork are a bad thing, but I thank my computer for letting me expand my learning past the sometimes tedious classroom environment and out-dated textbooks. Thank you for making that huge lecture hall seem that much smaller by having you beside me, helping me learn when I'm sometimes confused.

Coming to college in Arizona is a long ways away from home, so thank you for letting me communicate with my friends and family on the other side of the country. Yes, a phone call is super nice, but seeing their face on that Skype call just makes it that much more surreal. Whether it's video chatting or Facebook, I'm so fortunate for you to help me keep in touch with the ones I love most when I'm away from them.

Yes, this distracts me a lot but thank you for granting my life with YouTube and Netflix. I could honestly sit in my room for hours and just watch my favorite show or favorite YouTuber. YouTube is such an inspiration to me, I learn something new every time I watch. Even Netflix, I will find myself deep into the show, I feel as almost I'm living the characters life at some points. Without you computer, I wouldn't have these incredible things in my life.

Computer, you can definitely be a tremendously giant distractor, but I live a lot of my life through you. I can't wait for technology to progress, and you to become more advanced and do things people in our generation could never even believe could exist. I know humans just take it for granted, but you're honestly so fortunate to even own a computer. It makes life just that much easier. I mean come on, I know how many hours a day you probably spend on Netflix or typing into Google that difficult science question that you don't feel like searching for in the textbook. So, enough about my extreme passion for Netflix, thank you for everything you do for me and our entire world today.

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.
