An Apology To My Professors

Sorry for falling asleep in class, and forgetting the home work, and being late...

An Apology To My Professors
sbmania.net

Dear Professors,

Hey. It's me. You know? The one who looks really tired? Yeah, well I just would like to apologize for a few things. First of all, I'd like to apologize for always walking in late. It's not that I don't care. I actually do! I want to learn (sometimes)! But you know your class is really early and my dorm is really far. I tried to get up early but I was also studying until 3am for another class. Also when I wake up I have to be quiet or else my roommate will wake up too. So I'm trying to be respectful of her feelings. I understand I should be respectful to your feelings too, but my roommate has access to all my personal belongings so I think it's better to stay on her good side... I know that may sound like an excuse, but you have to understand, I also have really little legs. I can't walk as fast as everyone else, and since I don't have time to go to the gym, my squirrel-like-stamina doesn't allow me to run. (I'm not really sure how good a squirrel's stamina is). I'm going to try to get to class on time, but I'm really sorry if I don't.

I'm also sorry for not having my textbook on time and always asking you to upload the chapter. I know you said it's available at the bookstore but they're basically asking for a small loan of a million dollars for one book. ONE BOOK. So I ordered my textbook off Amazon or some other sketchy website in order to save money. I know we're already on chapter 4 but I promise I'm keeping up even though I look like I'm slacking since I'm the only one without a textbook. You may think I am cheap but really I am saving that extra money to buy you a nice gift at the end of the semester. You already know you want a fresh Starbucks gift card. But really, I am sorry, I am a broke college student.

I'd also like to apologize for giving you the complete wrong answer to the question you asked. I know you literally told me it less than five minutes ago, and I even wrote it down in my notes. But I am literally so tired, just took a test and under so much stress I am surprised I even changed my sleep sweatpants to my class sweatpants. I promise if you ask me again in about ten minutes after I eat my body weight in sugar, I will most likely, maybe, possibly give you an answer that is semi-correct.

Then, there's about skipping class last Friday. I know you think it's because I went out the night before or I'm hungover, maybe even drunk or because I want to start my weekend early. But I promise you I have the worst immune system known to man. If someone even breathes near me I am pretty sure I catch at least three strands of the flu and the plague. And I promise I do take my vitamins (we already know there is NO nutrition in that dining hall food). So please don't mark me unexcused, I know I seem like I don't care about class, but I really do. I'm trying to get a degree here! Be the next president! Own my own company! Heck, maybe even rule the world! Sorry I got carried away, remember no sleep (but if I did rule the world you could totally be my vice-world-rulers....we'll work out the name later).

In all honesty though, all jokes aside, I really do appreciate you all. I know it seems like I don't care but I really do want to learn from you all. I guess I just want to say I'm sorry and thank you. I wouldn't be here without you guys.

With Deep Sorrow,

your most appreciative student

P.S. you rock

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?

1. People assume you are mad all of the time.

2. Ten out of ten times you will give off an intimidating impression to others.

3. People do not acknowledge your feelings because you "do not have any."

4. Constantly being exhausted from trying to smile and not look like a witch.

5. And on the rare occasion your facial expressions show how happy you are, your friends think you are going crazy.

6. Each of your friends has said "I thought you were so mean when I first met you" at some point.

7. Then they follow that by saying "you are just hard to read."

8. So naturally if people do not know you they just assume you are a snob.

9. And when you are actually mad, your facial expressions are horrifying.

10. In the end you always look like you are judging people, when in reality people are ALWAYS judging you.
