A Thank You Letter To My Computer
marie claire

Dear Computer,

There is so much to thank you for, you are like my lifeline. Thank you for distracting me from life when I need it. For being my way to help me cope by providing me with all my favorite passers of time. Thank you computer for providing me with Netflix, YouTube and social media, huge shoutout to them for being there for me when nothing else is or I'm too lazy to do anything. And even for entertainment purposes when I'm absolutely bored out of my mind or procrastinating for that math test in two days.

Thanks for helping me with my tremendously difficult schoolwork, by letting me Google my way through my studies. People just assume search engines for schoolwork are a bad thing, but I thank my computer for letting me expand my learning past the sometimes tedious classroom environment and out-dated textbooks. Thank you for making that huge lecture hall seem that much smaller by having you beside me, helping me learn when I'm sometimes confused.

Coming to college in Arizona is a long ways away from home, so thank you for letting me communicate with my friends and family on the other side of the country. Yes, a phone call is super nice, but seeing their face on that Skype call just makes it that much more surreal. Whether it's video chatting or Facebook, I'm so fortunate for you to help me keep in touch with the ones I love most when I'm away from them.

Yes, this distracts me a lot but thank you for granting my life with YouTube and Netflix. I could honestly sit in my room for hours and just watch my favorite show or favorite YouTuber. YouTube is such an inspiration to me, I learn something new every time I watch. Even Netflix, I will find myself deep into the show, I feel as almost I'm living the characters life at some points. Without you computer, I wouldn't have these incredible things in my life.

Computer, you can definitely be a tremendously giant distractor, but I live a lot of my life through you. I can't wait for technology to progress, and you to become more advanced and do things people in our generation could never even believe could exist. I know humans just take it for granted, but you're honestly so fortunate to even own a computer. It makes life just that much easier. I mean come on, I know how many hours a day you probably spend on Netflix or typing into Google that difficult science question that you don't feel like searching for in the textbook. So, enough about my extreme passion for Netflix, thank you for everything you do for me and our entire world today.

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
