Dear Sacred Heart University Professors,

From freshman year, you began as a force to be reckoned with through our first college essays, midterms, finals, and inevitably that first bad grade. This bad grade sets the standard for future work. It’s a reality check and while we may be cursing your name, it teaches us the value of quality of work. Plus, it helps that you’re willing to sit with us and go over improvements for the future. This personal meeting sets the standard for the relationship and usually clears up any confusion.

You’ve taught us the value of organization. You have a test, three essays, and a group project all due in one week??? No worries, while it’s super overwhelming and you may be so mad, you learn the value of time and managing our priorities. So while we may be frustrated with your lack of consideration, we don’t take it too personally and realize the value in juggling multiple assignments as well as using you for a resource.

So sophomore year comes around and we’re basically experts now. We’ve learned the art of balancing our time, but maybe too well. Procrastination sets in and we become overwhelmed really quickly. At this point, we’re so comfortable meeting with you guys that we’re there almost biweekly.

Junior year is the best for this relationship. While the work is unstoppable, your relationship with your profs is the best. There’s nothing better than having your professor be your cheerleader and your mentor all at once. It’s a strong support system especially because they understand the pressure and the difficulty of the program.

Senior year is yet to be written for me. I imagine an even closer relationship with my professors and an even richer experience.

So, thank you for being there. Thank you for making the $50,000 worth it. Thank you for the challenge. Thank you for the knowledge. Thank you for providing a judgment free zone to learn. Thank you for constantly providing guidance and support when we’re confused. Thank you for understanding.

Sincerely,

SHU Students

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.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.

I am going to a rhyme without reason date function and I have looked at so many different rhyming words and I figured there need to be a new list of words. At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

If you like what you see, get a shopping cart going with these costumes.
