An Open Letter To Everyone To STOP Opening Letters

There is no need for open letters if there is no closure that comes with it.

Hello everyone!! I have seen many of you open letters here on Odyssey. And while that is all fine and dandy, let me just say that, I am getting tired of seeing these open letters.

If you have something to say, just say it!!!!

Do not have any regrets, remorse or be reluctant to say how you freaking feel!!! Let your free thoughts flow wherever they go....unless you are Kanye West!!! But do not be marred or deterred by what others may think about you.

I know all of us, including me have situations, circumstances and feelings to unpack, delayer and unfold, but do it with transparency, and not with hesitation. I mean I do not want any of you to blow your breath before writing an article. Get that ish off of your chest.

I mean are you really, opening your letter to your mom, your brother, or that intruder? Or are you really opening up for me? To see your life experiences? To see where you are coming from? To offer sympathy and empathy for your teeth-cringing story?

I can never tell unless there is no ambiguity. But there is no need for open letters, if there is no closure that comes with it.

I am hoping that with the open letters I come across, they are heartfelt, inspiring, empowering, something that they have overcame, or miraculous.

No need to open letters, if you are not willing to close. It is like opening a can of worms that will become finicky.

Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
