A Thank You Letter To My Group Chat

"Yo, does your phone ever stop going off?"

A Thank You Letter To My Group Chat
Tyler Flannery

The constant sound of phone vibrations coming from the inside of my pocket—this can only mean one thing. We all understand the struggle of being in a group conversation with friends. There have probably been countless times where you have had to put the conversation on mute simply because of the outrageous income of messages that you received. But as annoying and as petty as these notifications may be, the reality is that this group chat means more to you than you might think.

Being a member of multiple group chats, I cannot say much more other than thank you.

Thank you for keeping the conversation going.

Nothing is worse than a quick and dying conversation. Thank you for never putting this conversation to an end, and thank you for always coming up with something new to talk about. As annoying as one of us may get, thank you for always dealing with the irritating and troublesome arguments that may occur sometimes. Also, thank you for saving my ass whenever I'm in an awkward situation where I would rather find an easy way to cop out of the conversation.


Thank you for appreciating my bad puns.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that most of the puns I tell are played out and probably not even a little bit funny. Thank you for laughing at them anyway. It only motivates me to tell even cornier puns. And also, thank you for telling your own corny jokes, just so that I don't have to feel as bad about the terrible ones I make. We're all in this together.


Thank you for helping me out when I needed it.

As funny and as stupid as some of our conversations may be, thank you for being serious when I needed you guys to be. Thank you for listening to my numerous rants about certain people and certain situations. Also, thanks for the great advice that you've provided me. And not only that, but a huge thank you for always finding a way to cheer me up if I'm pissed off about something. Squad up, am I right?


Thanks for basically being night-owls like me.

Sleep is important. But apparently none of us really care about that, right? Thank you for being able to have conversations with me no matter what time of day it is, whether it is at five in the evening or five in the morning. Having people to talk to when I'm looking to have some late night philosophical and deep conversations can be rough, but having this group chat has definitely made that burden much easier to carry.


And finally, thank you for being you.

Thank you for coming into my life and being the person that you are. Without meeting you and having you to talk to each and every day, I'm more than certain that my life would not nearly be as fun or interesting.

Thank you, friends. And I look forward to talking to you guys soon.

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?

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!)
