An Open Letter To People Who Hate Me

Hello,

How is hating me going for you? I hope it is going well because this is my letter to you to let you know that I do not ever think about you. Your strong distaste for my existence does not affect me like it affects you. You probably see me and feel angry. When I see you I smile because I know you hate me and I really don't care. I find it funny that you put so much effort into hating me and I rarely think of you. When I do think of you, I do wonder what I did to you to make you hate me. But then I realize, that I really do not care why you hate me. I do not lose sleep over you talking bad about me, or the dirty looks you give me in passing, or anything about you not liking me. You hating me is kind of flattering, because you probably think about me a lot more than I think about you! That is so sweet; it's nice to know that I am always on your mind!

So now I would like to explore the possibilities of why you probably hate me. I most likely did something that you did not like. I said something that made you upset, I did not follow some sort of social protocol, or your significant other liked me better than you. Whatever the reason is for you hating me, I am sure it is totally valid in your opinion. But here is the reality of the situation: You are holding some sort of twisted grudge against me for my actions or my mere existence. You make the choice to spend your energy disliking me for whatever reason instead of just moving past it. You consciously choose to hate me and that must take up a lot of your time. Could I suggest a new hobby, besides hating me? I am sure you would like gardening, fantasy football, or maybe even a nice hike would do you some good. I know that hating me must be a very time consuming and entertaining hobby, but I feel like your energy could be spent a bit more productively. But, hey, that is just my opinion and you hate me, so you probably do not care what I think. Get over yourself, get over me, and get on with your life. Or you could waste more time and energy on hating me, whatever works for you.

Sincerely,

The person you most definitely still hate.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
