An Open Letter To My Favorite High School Teacher

In high school I had this pretty awesome teacher and we called ourselves "The Breakfast Club" because we would sit around and talk every morning.

In High school everyone has that one teacher who they instantly click with. My Earth Science teacher was that person. His name is Mr.Richard.

Every morning from freshman year all the way to senior year I would go to his classroom before school started everyday and then at 7:25 a.m. I would run to my class to not be late.

I could tell him absolutely anything. When I got my license we had this running joke were he said that he didn't want to go on the roads since he thought I would be a bad driver. Everyday I would go report to him how my driving was and he got a kick out of it.

When I was a junior, one of my friends and I came up with the idea to call ourselves "The Breakfast Club" like the movie. Now that the founding members of "The Breakfast Club" have left we told the others to keep it going in our honor and it has kept going. Maybe it will keep going forever.

Mr. Richard was that one guy who knew when I was mad and there were times when he flat out told me that I needed to calm down. They say you only have the teachers that will remain your favorite once but I had him three times and I could not be happier. Finding a teacher that you can relate to on a more personal level is not always easy but some how I find that teacher every year and I had one every year plus Mr.Richard.

Teachers are one in a million and everyone gets lucky at least once. Mr. Richard is the bomb and he is also an inspiration to me ! Teachers are all different and they all have a special way of teaching that makes them more unique then the next person.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Girl With Bleached Hair
Tumblr

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
