You Know You're A Student Teacher When...
Teaching Arts

Every education major dreams of-- or has nightmares about-- their professional semester of student teaching. After 120 hours of observations and several college courses the time finally comes and we are sent on our way to our first day at a new school. Student teaching is a wild ride that you can only understand by experiencing it for yourself, and you often find yourself saying and doing things your friends in other programs just don’t understand. You often find yourself thinking

“You know you’re a student teacher when…”

Here are some of those moments:

You know you’re a student teacher when you start shopping for “teacher clothes” instead of club clothes.



You know you’re a student teacher when going out later than 10:00pm seems like a crazy night.


You know you’re a student teacher when you’re tracing and cutting out pieces to a project while your friends are writing papers.

You know you’re a student teacher when everything you do seems like a “teachable moment.”


You know you’re a student teacher when your Teachers Pay Teachers searches become more frequent than your Facebook use.



You know you’re a student teacher when you could identify an objective and blooms level for any possible activity on the spot.


You know you’re a student teacher when “you’ll never guess what my student said/did today” is always the first thing out of your mouth.


You know you’re a student teacher when your friends get annoyed by your “teacher voice”, which at this point is second nature.


And you know that when this semester is over, you’ll be ready to get out there and find a classroom of your own!

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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

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.
