Dear Professors, I'm Sorry

Just some of the things I am truly sorry for.

Dear professors,

Forgive me, professors, for I have sinned. I apologize for not attending class on a regular basis and for coming in 15 minutes late with coffee in my hand when I did show up. Additionally, I apologize for showing up often hungover because of making the choice to go to Rounders and blackout the night before. It's not so much that I didn't care about your class because I actually really did, I just seemed to lack motivation for wanting to leave my bed and such an un-Godly hour of the day. Considering you posted your entire lecture on Blackboard I personally didn't find it to be a priority to rise from the dead unless it was a test or quiz day.

I want to also take this time to apologize for never submitting my assignments on time. In the beginning, I was still getting used to being on Central Time...not like that was really a valid excuse because then it would've been turning it in early, but that's not the point. The point is I have a bad habit of procrastinating and I truly apologize for it.

I'd also like to apologize for giving you the absolute wrong answer to the question you asked. I know you literally told me it less than two seconds ago. But I am literally half asleep, and I have a very short attention span. Truthfully I honestly forgot what class this even was. I promise if you ask me again in about five minutes after I google it once again, I will most likely, maybe, possibly give you an answer that is some-what correct. (I did say maybe)

But I do in fact appreciate you not only giving me full credit for turning in my paper 3 weeks late but even extra credit. Thank you for understanding that sometimes I had my friend bring my clicker to class for me in order to mark me here for attendance on the days I just couldn't drag myself out of bed. Lastly, thank you for putting up with my BS all semester. You truly deserve a medal for not only being able to handle me, but for allowing me to get away with everything I did... you are the true MVP!!

Sincerely,

The student who always showed up late with coffee

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
