An Open Letter To The Class That Feels Like A Waste Of My Time

I need you to graduate, but you seem so useless...

Dear Useless-to-Me-and-Thus-Boring Class,

I'm sure there are others who enjoy you and love to attend your meetings, but then there are those who show up to class, listen to the professor, take notes and continuously wonder, "Why am I here?" I am a part of the latter group.

It's not that you're universally useless; it's just that you're useless to me. I either feel like I am learning things I already know or that are common sense, or I feel as if none of the information I am given is pertinent for my future career. Honestly, that's not completely your fault, but rather a personal issue I struggle with in which you are becoming an obstacle.

I do your homework and study for your tests, but only because I need to pass this class to graduate. You are the reason I look forward to life after the diploma.

I'm so sorry that I vehemently detest you, especially when I see those few students in the class who revel in the subject. The professor asks a question, those passionate students raise their hands, and I glower in the corner wishing I was doing something better with my time.

What really irks me, however, is that I am paying for you, Useless-to-Me-and-Thus-Boring Class. This makes me bitter because you feel like such a waste of my time. I'm paying the university for you to waste my time.

So please, I know that I need you to graduate (because someone for some reason thought it would help me along this career road), but go by quickly and let me pass so I can move on with my life. Stop giving me so much grief. Seriously.

Sincerely,

Bothered-Student-Who-Believes-Their-Time-Has-Been-Expensively-Wasted

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
