An Open Letter To My Group Chat

Thank you for letting me lose my filter completely.

An Open Letter To My Group Chat
saas

Texting you guys can truly make my day.

I appreciate that we can talk about any and everything - food, relationships, makeup, politics, dogs, sex, literally anything. I know that I can text my unfiltered thoughts into our chat, regardless of how insane they are and one of you will agree with me, or at least entertain said thoughts.

I can text the chat when I am having a good day, and I know that everyone will be genuinely happy for me, even if you guys are having a horrible day. You'll be engaged and ask about what happened, or say that you're happy for me. I appreciate this more than you guys know.

I love texting our chat when I'm having a bad day, or when something or someone makes me mad. I can type paragraphs or a million short messages; you guys don't mind. I can say every curse word known to exist and type the most questionable things, but you all just thrive off of it and then we end up in some heated discussion. At that point, I'm not even mad anymore because I'm laughing so much at all of our messages and it makes my bad days so much better.

Our group chat is so uplifting. Anytime someone sends a selfie that they feel good in, we all make sure they feel like a queen. When someone doubts themselves or their ambition, there's a 99% chance that we are all writing paragraphs about that person explaining to them why they are so wonderful and telling them to stop being so hard on themselves. When someone says that someone outside of our group chat was rude to them, our chat transforms into a "Comedy Central Roast" - it's great.

Anytime something big happens, you already know it's getting sent to the group chat. We can go from obsessing over expensive makeup to in-depth discussions about social injustices around the world in a matter of minutes. We can have conversations about the stupidest things and about things that are really important. You're all so smart and strong and I admire what you have to say immensely.

We talk about things that I feel like I could never talk about with other people. We talk about things that I'm not sure most people even discuss with their friends, but I love being able to tell you guys literally anything. If someone read our messages, they'd be very concerned and question our sanity without a doubt. But you guys taught me to that it's perfectly fine to talk about things that we're taught to keep quiet about it. I love that we have absolutely no filter and can be our true selves around each other.

Thank you for supplying me with endless laughs, correcting me when I'm wrong, uplifting me when I'm down, and for being the funniest people on the planet.

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?

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

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.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
