Without your constant support, I wouldn't be where I am today. Thank you for all that you have done for me.

A Letter to the Teachers Who Changed My Life
Hannah Craft

Dear Teacher(s) who changed my life:

I can’t begin to express my gratitude towards you. You gave me the world in just a few short years in high school. You helped to shape me into the person I am today and for that, I am forever grateful. I hope you realize how often you are impacting others around you and how much you mean to me and the other students you teach. With your dedication and commitment to your students the world is a much better place.

I want to thank you for being a great listener. Having someone on my side for different situations was incredibly helpful throughout these last few years. You might not have realized it then, but this was where you were most helpful. As you probably learned fairly quickly, I am constantly talking. Sometimes I just needed someone to be there to answer all of my pointless questions or to listen to me complain about annoying situations.

As much as you taught me in the classroom, I learned just as much if not more, outside because of you. You taught me how to be strong and smart. You gave so much insight to the world I would soon be entering as an adult, and without you I would not be prepared for the next four years of college.

Thank you for all of the opportunities I was given, without you I can guarantee I wouldn’t be where I am today. Because of these opportunities, I was able to find my passions, explore new places and meet so many people with similar goals. I got to discover amazing cities and I met some of my best friends in your classrooms.


Most importantly, thank you for believing in me. Thank you for watching me grow as a person, student and friend. Thank you for just being there when all I needed someone to talk to. Thank you for being a positive inspiration these last few years. You made my high school experience the best it could have ever been.

I will never forget the memories we made, and why yes that might sound weird to others, some of my best memories in high school were with you. I will never forget all the laughs and maybe a few cries we have shared. I will never forget the long talks we have had and the advice you have passed down to me. I really did become a better person by being in your classroom. Even if I only had you as a teacher for a short time, you made the biggest impact.

You were more than just a teacher, you were an inspiration to everyone around you. I can’t thank you enough for all that you have done for me and I can’t wait to see who else you inspire.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.

Because Chandler Bing should be everyone's spirit animal.

Chandler Bing
Zimbio

Ah, Ms. Chanandler Bong, or Chandler Bing as he is better known as. For 10 years, Chandler brought us many laughs, many tears, and, well, Matthew Perry's fame. He is, personally, my favorite character on "Friends" because he made me laugh more than any other character on the show and I felt like I could relate to him more than the other characters on the show. Anyway, here are 10 Chandler Bing quotes that anyone can relate to... or graduates can at least...
