To My Worst Enemy at KU, I Wish . . .

'Cause we all have that one person.

To My Worst Enemy at KU, I Wish . . .
Caden Handy

Did you ever have a kid in your third grade class who would consistently steal your crayons and break them? Or maybe the little squirt would tell everyone that you liked the smell of your own farts, so no one wanted to be your friend for five minutes (which was like five decades in your young mind)? In middle school, you didn't have the coolest backpack, so you were lame, and in high school, you were a nerd. All caused by the same child.

Whatever happened, we've all had that one individual who is our self-declared "enemy." As immature and silly as it sounds, it sometimes seems like the universe made that one particular person just to perpetually annoy you. The worst part is that they're very good at their job, so when they graduate from high school, they go off to the real world and become someone else's problem. Yes, your Dinkleberg from the Fairly Odd Parents, becomes someone else's Dinkleberg down the line. You know that guy that sits next to you in English? The one who knows all the answers, is the teacher's pet, and feels the need to correct you every time you open your mouth?

See, enemies don't ever go away, they just transfer to different places, like college, so they can terrorize someone else. If you have one such individual in your life (and you happen to be at the University of Kansas), here are fifteen things to wish upon him or her.

1) I wish that you could have a semester full classes in JRP, Smith, and Oldfather Studios. Of course, you'd only have ten minutes in-between.

2) I wish you have a professor who says, "Um," at least 173 times per lecture.

3) I wish you are consistently late for the 43 Red and have to walk up Daisy Hill.


4) I wish your chicken-to-ranch ratio is always wrong when you order a Crunchy Chicken Cheddar Wrap.


5) I wish you would get a parking ticket at 4:59pm on a Friday.


6) I wish you a time when you're attempting to get to Watkins Health Center and somehow end up visiting the scholarship hall, the natural history museum, and the library (Watson and Watkins aren't the same!?) before finding it.


7) I wish you would pregame a bit too hard with your friends, black out, and wake up at 3am in the Boom Boom Room at the Hawk.


8) I wish you would get lost in Wescoe more than the average student.


9) I wish would get to the front of the line just as they're running out of chicken on Chicken Strip Day in Ms. E's.


10) I wish you would have a class on the eighth floor of Fraser and the elevators would be consistently broken.


11) I wish you would attempt to drive on Jayhawk Boulevard at 5:01pm, and they haven't opened the gates yet.


12) I wish you would be the only person who doesn't do the KU Clap correctly at a basketball game.


13) I wish you would turn in a final paper with your professor's name spelled terribly wrong.


14) I wish you would wake up one morning to the steam whistle blowing and rush to class, only to find that the class is cancelled.


15) I wish you would take that one dare and walk through the Campanile before graduation.


Obviously, these experiences aren't hazardous to your enemies health. They are just annoying enough to be like karma returning the favor. Wish wisely!

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.
