Personification

They say that when you're angry and upset at someone, you should write them a letter explaining all of your feelings.  They also suggest that you don't even have to send the letter, and that just the act of writing it down can help deal with your problems.

I've seen quite a few of these letters pop on my mini-feed.  They go something like:

• Dear Calculus Exam, Why do you have to be so hard?
• Dear Monday, You suck!! I wish it was Sunday still.
• Dear Spring, Hurry up and get here! I hate the cold!

Now, if the authors of these notes knew anything, they would know that Spring isn't checking their Facebook daily!!! No no no!! Spring is off making things green and making the sun shine and making the temperat----WAIT A MINUTE! Spring isn't a person!

And neither is your calculus exam. Or Monday. Or any other season, day of the week, or inanimate object you might be writing to.  Stick to writing to actual humans.  We'd much rather read letters to your ex-boyfriends than to that nasty sandwich you had at lunch.
