What I Actually Want To Tell My Professors

Back to school questions are the worst, so here's what I'd actually say if I could.

What I Actually Want To Tell My Professors
Huffington Post

"How was your summer?"

Quite terrible, actually. All of my new friends were miles away and I didn't really get to see them. But I got to see my old friends from home and spend time with my family, so I guess that's pretty cool.

"Are you happy to be back on campus?"

What would tell you that, my endless university apparel or my water bottle with our school's logo on it? Of course I'm glad to be back on campus and living with my friends again. Can you say FREEDOM?

"What are you looking forward to the most in this course?"

Well, completing it and getting the credits would be nice. I'll just tell you that I want a better understanding of the topic because that makes me seem less terrible. It'd be cool to learn some new vocabulary words too.

"What'd you do all summer?"

I worked, and then I slept. And then I worked again, and watched Netflix before I slept some more to get rest for work the next day. I'd say it was your average wild young adult's summer.

"Did you get a head start on reading your textbooks?"

Absolutely not, but I'll pretend that I did just to please you. I did Google the book once and the cover seemed cool. I'll check it out later if I decide to buy it.

"Tell me a fun fact about yourself."

Sometimes when I go to sleep, I don't wake up for 12 hours. I'd say that's some sort of special talent. I can also inhale a 20 piece McNugget.

"Why did you choose this university?"

Well, It's pretty cheap compared to my other options and I heard that the food was okay. It also has a great social environment and that's awesome too. The dorms are pretty sweet which is also a bonus, and I heard that my major's program was well known for success. Let's hope.

"What do you like to do in your free time?"

Oh, you know, eat, nap, watch Grey's Anatomy and cry a little, and occasionally study. I swear I'm just your average college student.

"Do you have any questions about the syllabus?"

Not really. Your eight page, front and back, full detail on every class day syllabus is in fact understandable. I do respect you for putting that much work in to make it clear.

"Is anyone offended by swear words?"

I was when I was 12. Now it actually makes me pay attention more and it makes me feel like you're one of the rare professors that treats their students like adults instead of kids. But if you swear AT me, that'll be a different story.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
