What I Expected From Statics

You're probably wondering how I ended up here.

What I Expected From Statics
Haresh Maharaj

During my first year ever in college, I decided that I would like to reinvent myself. So I chose to spend time with our society's current version of sexually successful alpha males; colloquially known as “fuck bois". Yes, it is spelled like that. I called it a seminar in sexuality and I was able to learn somewhat. Part of their lesson for such was forcing me to hit on all the women around me. I recall hitting on a girl and attempting to spend time with her later, but alas she was busy with statics.

This marked my first ever experience with statics ever. I had no idea what the course really was at the time, only that it kept attractive engineering girls away from me. Seeing as how I too would eventually go down the road of being an engineer, I ignored learning anything else about the class. In fact, I thought statics referred to electricity.

Here we are one year later, with me firmly planted in my statics syllabus lecture with a professor who can be very lazily described as unique. First impressions tell me that this man is sarcastic, he has experience and that he knows what he is doing and instinctually this means I will have to work. “Sigh,” I look forward to this class because I welcome all challenges. I suffer from a profound boredom in most of my classes because I want something that challenges me. I understand that I am by no means an academic titan, which is why I want to have a class like this pull it out of me.

From the looks of things, my professor alongside statics will not disappoint me. This may be the challenge I am looking forward to. I hope that you can amass whatever pain and problems which are fundamental to growing me. I want to cry, I want to puke from stress, please break me. Trick me, force me to play your games only to prove my own mettle. Inundate me with information so that I may drown, only to swim back to the surface. Above all else, let me learn from you. After all, that is the only way that I may ever evolve and once again be bored.


As you can oh so obviously see, I expect a challenge and I hope you deliver my dear professor. Please don’t make this a boring semester. Give me your all, and show me the beauty of this course in all its gory glory. I look forward to your lessons.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
