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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
