A Letter To Cancer

I am not going to let you win!

A Letter To Cancer
Huffington Post

Dear Cancer,

Let me just start with my main point: I HATE YOU!
Life was so peaceful, then you had to come along to our family and make it worse.
You are nothing but a bully, who does nothing but make people's lives hell. Why do you do that? People don't do anything to you, so why do you make people's lives a living hell? What do you get from that?


My mom is one of the sweetest and strongest people I know. She is trying really hard to beat you. But what do you do? You keep spreading and make it even more difficult. You made chemotherapy unsuccessful for her, and other options too. Why do you have to be so hard? I will never forgive you for this.

A lot of people go through so much difficulty fighting you. Do you think chemotherapy is easy? Well, you're wrong! Chemotherapy gives you more pain and shatters a person emotionally and physically. You don't understand all the struggle they go through, just because you have to be so hard. So think about this, before being more troublesome.

You have not just caused pain to my mom, but you have caused pain to my entire family, including me. I stay far away. I am working and trying very hard to follow my dreams, but at the same time, it's hard for me and I get disturbed quickly, because of the fact that you're causing pain to my mom. Yes, I sing, do my assignments and study. I also watch a lot of movies, and socialise. These things do give me relief, but they won't make a person alright forever. These things are like having coffee in the morning, which gives you energy for some time, but then, they go away. When people ask me every day, "How are you doing?" I always say "I am doing good" so that people don't worry for me, or so that I don't make other people upset with my sad life. But to tell you the truth, I don't like saying "I am fine" every time, when in reality, I am not fine, and I won't be fine, at least for some time. This is all because of you.

But you know what? I am not going to let you win. We will all keep on fighting you! We will not leave you alone and let you cause more pain! We are all in this together and you will surely pay for what you're doing! We will find more solutions to get rid of you.

I am saying this, not just on behalf of my mother, but also on behalf of all those people who lost their lives fighting you, those who are still struggling, and those who went through all the pain, and won the battle. You are the worst thing in the world. No one deserves this. I hope you get destroyed so that you don't ever think about hurting someone again. And we will beat you!

Sincerely,
Your Worst Enemy

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

pale girl

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.

Being a music major is not all kicks and giggles. In fact, there are days when I question my sanity and doubt myself as a musician. I know I am not the only one going through the struggle, and so here are 13 GIFs that I know my fellow music majors can relate to...
