Dear Cupid, Are You There?

I'm starting to give up on you...

Dear Cupid, Are You There?

Dear Cupid,

Where the hell are ya? I'm approaching my 20th Valentine's Day and I'm still alone. What is the sitch? You seem to have missed me when you went and shot your little arrows into everyone else. My friends, my cousins, even my little sister!?!? They've all had their turn finding someone and falling in love and then there's me. Seemingly forever single.

I ponder all the reasons why you may have skipped over me. Do I smell bad? I shower pretty often, use deodorant and even use perfume! So I don't think it's that. Is it because I cry too much? Because I could probably tone that down too if it would mean an arrow would come my way. Maybe it's because I'm an awful cook. But I do make a dank grilled cheese!! Come on, that has to count for something! But seriously, where the hell are you....enough is enough.

Sometimes it really sucks. Ya know, being single and stuff.

But guess what, according to everyone in a relationship ever, "It'll happen when you least expect it!!!!!!" Well friends, I've been "least expecting it for about a year now. Still not happening. So now I'm writing a letter to Cupid, maybe this letter will grab his attention a little and something good will come my way.

This has been a good year for me! I deleted all my dating apps (see ya Tinder and Bumble), because the guys on there are looking for one thing, and it's not exactly PG. I've sat in all the little cute coffee shops hoping someone will slide their number my way, but no such luck. And I can't meet anyone in class because I have the same people in every class. I guess I'm just an unlucky gal.

I think I've come to the conclusion that I have 7 years bad luck from breaking that mirror that time. That's a thing right? So no wonder why I'm single and alone and writing this pointless letter to Cupid. Because I broke that freakin' mirror.

Well you know what Cupid? SCREW YOU. I may regret that in a year when I'm still single but until then, I've had enough of your crap. Who says that you get to determine everything? I did nothing bad to you! Yet you seem to skip me every single time. I'm done. Enough. This year WILL be my year, whether or not you come my way.

To all my single friends out there, don't get too down this Valentine's Day. Being in a relationship, or having a significant other does not determine your self-worth. Treat yourself this February 14th, go on a dinner date with a friend, stay in bed, eat chocolate, watch your favorite t.v. show, go to the gym and get some of that angst out on the track! Head to the local club and bust some moves to get that serotonin flowing! You are beautiful just the way you are, independent, brave, and sexy af and you don't need a Valentine to be loved! Your friends love you, your family loves you, and your dog most definitely loves you. That sounds like enough love for me.

Plus, love can be kind of icky.


Moral of the story, love yourself. Cupid is silly, and you don't need a Valentine to be loved. It's just one silly day, and it'll all be over on the 15th. Chin up, smile. Everyone's time will come, and if mine doesn't, I'm totally okay adopting 5 dogs from the local shelter. Anyways, Cupid, it would be nice if you headed my way soon, if not, that's okay too.

Happy Valentine's Day<3

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
