An Open Hate Letter To Spring Break

Thanks for being a terrible break.

An Open Hate Letter To Spring Break
Shyanne White

Dear Spring Break,

You have sucked. Majorly. I went home with high hopes that for once, my break wouldn't be a complete bust, and I was let down. Very let down.

I sit in a bed, typing away simply because I have nothing better to do. I don't have any plans, I don't have anywhere to go. Why am I always the one that is stuck doing nothing while everyone else I know is out travelling or keeping themselves occupied enough so they're not on Facebook all day? I have relaxed enough. Five straight days of "Netflix and chill" has been enough. I'm ready to actually do something now, but I don't have anything to do thanks to you.

I went to work because I was so desperate. I was on break, yet I wanted to work because the amount of boredom has been driving me insane. I scroll on Facebook constantly, and all I see are pictures of everyone else having fun and making memories. The only thing I'm making is my ham sandwich for lunch.

On top of all of that, you almost killed off my dog. Was that really necessary? As if I wasn't having a horrible time already, you just decided to test my on-the-spot thinking capabilities. News flash: I already know they suck. Thank you, though. I really enjoyed the amount of trauma that caused. Could not have asked for anything better. You also tried to kill me. Cats, food that has made me sick for four days straight, two inches away from having a car collision that would've ended my life? Thrilling. Really.

Then, I finally departed home for my friend's house. I was really excited that for once, maybe, just maybe, I would be able to have a good time. Turns out I had to turn around the next day and go to my other friend's house due to transportation arrangements to get back to campus. So I mean I guess I can say I travelled this break, but not in the cool kind of way where I'm going to new places and discovering cool things with other people. It was more of a I was car sick most of the time, and all I wanted to do was sleep type of deal.

What about now? What exciting things will you bring into my life these next three days? Anything? I tried to be positive about this break. I tried to convince myself it wouldn't be the same old sitting on my butt all day staring at a screen watching other people have fun type of break. I tried to make things more exciting. You just insisted on being like the rest of breaks, except a lot more traumatic. I guess at least you had some character. Thanks?

I hope you're proud of your accomplishments. I hope you enjoyed making me feel like I just wasted a week and I'm about to waste two more days. I wish this could've gone better. I really do.

I won't miss you. I'll just miss not having to put on real pants.

So much hate,

Shyanne

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
