So many of us have downloaded the app TimeHop, an app used to look back on some of our memories that have graced the presence of various forms of social media over the years. Some of the memories are funny, some are sad and some just make us shake our heads. I had the app for a while before getting rid of it and then downloading it again because I missed it. While, I like looking back on my life and seeing how far I have come, there is just some things that I would rather not be reminded of. Pictures of people who I no longer talk to, wall posts from old friends and old tweets from darker times of my life. You could say well, you could have just not allowed it to access those tweets but I had forgotten about all of that so here I am feeling the exact way that I did then all of these years later. This app while being great in some aspects is just too painful sometimes. I am reminded of the things that I have worked so hard to forget and leave behind. The friendships that have severed for one reason or another, the things in my life that didn’t go as planned and the pictures that I would rather not have to look at anymore. I actually enjoy my life now and would rather not be reminded of the person that I used to be. I would rather look back at the good memories of my life and spend more time living in the moment rather then dwelling on the past. Life is way too short to dwell on what could have been. It is better to have lived a life full of good memories and good times. As I am writing this, I just deleted my TimeHop account and I have to say it felt pretty good. I realized that I don’t really need or want it anymore. It is a waste of time and space on my phone. I hate the way that it made me feel about myself. I would open it with curiosity about what memories would come up that day only to be left with sadness and regret of opening the app in the first place. I don’t care about the memories, the streak, abe the dino, I care about my wellbeing. I care about my mental health. I do not care about Time Hop. Good Riddance to this terrible app. I will not miss it!

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
