Dear Mr. Turner

Brock Turner, I have a few things to say to you...

Dear Mr. Turner,

There are a million things I would like to say to you, but I feel that I would be wasting my breath. There is no excuse for what you did and no excuse for you to "get slack" in a case where you raped an individual.

How do you live with yourself? Do you really feel no remorse in the actions you took? Do you not think about the life that you ruined that night that you decided to take matters into your own hands?

You're a monster.

Shakespeare once wrote, "Hell is empty and all the Devils are here."

You've proven this true. I want to say that you're the only Devil on this earth, but you're only one of the many.

You raped someone. You didn't just steal from a store, you didn't dine and dash, you didn't do something that that deserves a warning. The sentence time that you received is sickening and for what you did it wasn't nearly long enough.

I'd like to know how you sleep at night. I'd like to know how you can go out in public and rejoice your freedom. You don't think that the crime you committed is anything serious, but it's one of the most traumatizing ones you can commit.

Saying you're sorry is not enough. Whether you believe in Karma or not, I hope it comes back around to you. I hope justice finds a way to prevail.

Sincerely,

Every Sane Indiviual

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
