The 8 People You Get Stuck With For A Group Project
Concorde

We have all had the misfortune of being assigned to a group project, so we all know the struggle. Whether you are in a group full of slackers or a group of people who take the project way too seriously, we can all agree that group projects SUCK (unless you are the jerk that lets your group pull all of your weight). There are many different elements that contribute to the awfulness of the god forsaken group projects. And none of them are positive.

1. The Dictators

We know when the due date is, please quit reminding us.

2. The Slackers

We all know these ones all too well. They are the ones who never offer to do a single thing and get zeros on all peer reviews.

3. The Procrastinators

It doesn't matter how big or how small the task, it can wait until the night before it is due.

4. The Selective Hearer

Even though the professor says the due date 15 times over, this guy still has to ask when it is.

5. The Clown

You know, the one who can't take anything seriously. It is all fun and games until the joke is that the deadline is a day away and your group hasn't even got a title down.

6. The Ditz

... Does this one even need an explanation? They are the ones who barely know what class they are in let alone the concepts of this project.

7. The Silent Genius

They are the ones you know get all A's, but for some reason they never speak up. When you finally ask them what they think, they lay out a perfect format and you can't help but wonder where that input was a week ago.

8. The Complainer

Whether they are mad about the due date or the fact that they spilled their coffee earlier, you will get an earful. They can't not express their complaints to anyone forces to listen, whether it pertains to you or not.

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.

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.
