Dear Finals Week Professors

I want to break up

Dear finals week professors,

My relationship with you has been nothing short of a massive heartbreak. Exhausted, caffeinated, and breathless, you have left my soul in the cold to die. I don't mean to be dramatic but the truth must come out. I'm just going to say what we're all thinking, what all my peers seem scared to tell you: you guys are excessive, clingy, and simply insane.

Back in September, you vowed to be faithful. You told me that if I was diligent over the next few months you would be there for me. You said finals would be warm, welcoming, and encouraged me to remain smiling.

So I have worked hard. I have spent all my additional free time in the library focused, motivated, and not in the least bit suicidal. I wish I could say the same thing now, 98 days after that beloved syllabus week. Back then, our relationship looked promising. I spent extra enthusiasm color-coding my notes so you would know I cared; so you would recognize my sincerity. I wanted to show I'd committed time, effort, and vigilance to you and you alone. I never threw other professors in your face. I was faithful. When I was with you I was only with you. But over the course of time you have expected far too much from me. You have assigned work every day, lied about the materials on the exam, and changed the final to in-class rather than take-home. You're clingy, inconsiderate, and frankly we need space. I've tried to reignite the spark we were both vibing not a long time ago but that glimmer is far gone. You need to understand that I cannot live my life in a bubble. I do not want to be surrounded by you everywhere I turn. Your papers and assignments line my walls and stuff my pillow case. It is too much and I cannot handle it anymore.

I want to break up, clear my conscious, and I want to move on. In doing so I must be straight and state the obvious.

I've been seeing other professors.

That's right, you're not my only one. I did not want to say it but now the truth is out. The other credits I have been calling on behind your back crave my attention as well. The devotion I gave you was also shared with another.

I am sorry you have to find out this way but I am leaving you. I wish you would exonerate me from your engrossing grip. Maybe someday in the distant future we can try again, but not today.

I wish you luck with your other students and I hope they can give you what I couldn't.

Sincerely,

The student third desk from the exit.

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. 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.
