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

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
