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.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"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!
