Dear no-chill prof,

Although it’s hard to believe, yours is not the only class I’m enrolled in this semester. Every last-minute essay, test, or homework assignment you assign is magnified by the numerous last-minute assignments I have to take on by all of my other professors trying to get their last grade in. The last week of the semester should be reserved for mental preparation in order to conquer final week. However, somewhere along the line it has turned into the equivalent of a second exam week. I’m begging you to not let this be a thing of the future. Understand that students brains are quickly fading and that we are all just hoping to pull through with the grades we are hoping for and go on with your breaks. Please understand that Essay #4 is not our priority during this time. Our minds are beginning to become consumed with thoughts of the holidays, and stuffing our faces, and being reunited with our families. We are hoping to enjoy our final moments and memories that we get to make with all of our friends before we all go our separate ways for a few weeks of freedom. Please let the rest of the semester be easy for us. All of these requests contribute both to the happiness and mental sanity of students as well as your personal liberation from a plethora of assignments left to grade. I’m begging you to chill.

Sincerely,

An unnecessarily stressed out college student just trying to make it to the end of the semester
