Dear future students,

You don't know me yet. I am head-over-heels ready to meet each and every one of you. I hope that I can be the person that you look up to for the next 180 days of school that we will share together. Being your teacher comes with great responsibility, a responsibility that I will always put first. As your teacher, there are a few hopes of my own that I wish for you as you enter my classroom:

1. I hope you always feel safe.

I promise you, our classroom will be a safe place. Just know that whatever may be bothering you, that I will always be here for you.

2. I hope you know you are loved.

Through the good and the bad, you will hold a special place in my heart.

3. I hope you learn to love school.

I hope that throughout the days you spend in my classroom, your love for school grows and that learning is something you actually enjoy.

4. I hope you believe in yourself.

Take the time to believe in yourself like I believe in you. You are capable and I know you will be able to conquer anything you put your mind to.

5. I hope you realize that being wrong is okay.

I will never degrade you or belittle you for answering something wrong. My job is to help you learn and I will do the best I can in the most compassionate way.

6. I hope you know that your grades or your test scores do not define you.

A grade is just a letter and a score is just a number. But, you? You are everything. You are composed of intelligence, talents, and individual quirks that mean far more than a grade or score.

7. I hope you know that I will always be here for you.

My biggest goal is to develop a relationship of trust within each and every one of you. If anything, please know that I will never let you down.

School may seem scary at first, but I am so ready for our adventure together.

Love,

Your future teacher

Living Away From Home, As Described By 'Friends'

For better or for worse

Loyola University Chicago

tv.com

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

The Belchers hold the key to a better life.

Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
