A Letter To My Friends And Family: Exam Week Edition

To my friends & family,

It is, unfortunately, a time we all dread immensely. I am very sorry to inform you that the college exam week is just around the corner. I know it may not seem so terrible but I promise there is nothing remotely fun about them.

As this time of year comes to a start I would just like to apologize to you in advance and give you a few days notice for my absence for the next few days. If you need to find me your best bet is to look for me at Starbucks, the library or even the study room at my apartment complex.

I would also like to pre-warn my bank account, I am sorry for the negative funds you are about to have because of the number of coffee runs I will be making. I am sorry but the only way a college student can make it through exam week is by living off coffee.

The exhaustion I am about to incur is nowhere close to what you have ever experienced before. Let's just say that sleep is not a thing. And if it is, it is not the greatest of sleep - that is for sure. Exam week brings on a load of exhaustion, one that you can't just sleep off in a night or two. So, if I come home for winter break and I sleep for a few days don't be too concerned.

After this week I promise that I will be more present and you'll definitely hear back from me. For now, though, don't accept many calls. Just know and feel a little bad for me because my head is mostly stuck inside my textbook as I am trying to learn an entire semesters worth of knowledge.

I hope you understand this struggle that I am dealing with. Just trying to finish the semester off strong and winter break on a high note.

Speak to you soon!

Love always,

A stressed-out college student

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.

The Unwritten Rules Of "Talking"

What is "talking?" How does one "talk?"

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.
