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

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
