5 Questions I Have For The Teachers Of My Senior Year
Sue Gober

Hello, teachers of my last year of high school. Most of you I like. Some of you, eh. As you have spent all of my senior year asking me questions, I would like to ask you, my "eh" teachers, a few questions.

1. Why do you hate me?

Please tell me why you hate me. You obviously do if you decided to give me projects and ten-page papers over the weekend of prom. Not Cool.

2. Why are you doing it wrong?

I have worked my butt off the entire year in your class. I took my AP test; I’m done; I’ve clocked out. Not only do you hate me, but you are also doing your job completely wrong. After AP testing (especially senior year), you’re not supposed to teach. Right now, I should be having parties and watching Monster University. If anything, teach me something interesting. Life, movies, and food are all acceptable topics to” teach” me about. I did not take years of AP tests for you to ruin this cycle of easy schooling after the tests.

3. Why do you have senioritis?

I get it, you can’t wait for the school year to end, but isn’t this your job? I would love to have four day weekends until the year ends too, but I think you need to calm down a bit. While you’re at home making yourself some pancakes, I’m sitting in your class wondering how I’m supposed to do all this work you assigned me if you’re not here to tell me what you want.

4. Why don't you know how to say my name?

Whether I’ve been in your class for four year or just this one, I’m pretty sure you should know how to say it. You shouldn’t have to double check with one of my other teachers to make sure you don’t mispronounce it at awards night.

5. Why are you a teacher?

I’m pretty sure you hate kids. You genuinely don’t like us, and I’m very confused at your career choice.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
