Dear Life – Nov 11 2015

/

Dear Professor,

Weโ€™ve submitted two very small assignments, and still have no grades in this class. The deadline to drop without failure is in a week. You lack a sense of urgency.

Sincerely,

How is this allowed?

Dear Life,

Why do you penalize me a whole letter grade for one little mistake in citations?

Do you really think I will be doing a lot of citing while working at Chapters?

You know, there really are more important things in life to worry about.

Sincerely,

where do i place that comma?

Dear Life,

Sometimes, trust is really hard to get back. Itโ€™s going to take a little more work.

Sincerely,

Iโ€™m not as bad of a person as you think I am.

Dear Life,

Hey

I just noticed I can get a bottle of water on campus again.

We make such a fuss about โ€˜doing the right thingโ€™ when we decide not to allow anyone to sell water on campus and no fuss at all when we backtrack.

Sincerely,

the spin is everywhere

Dear Running Boy with Laptop,

You ran after me while I was in my own little world, I thought maybe you just needed directions and was very surprised when you said that I had caught your attention and you just had to talk to me and get my number. You said two things that I want to address. One was โ€œcall me desperateโ€ the other was โ€œIโ€™m confusedโ€ in response to my answer.

First, you are not desperate. It took a lot of courage to go up to a girl you donโ€™t know, ask for her number and risk rejection. Good for you! I respect that bravery and I sincerely meant when I said I was flattered and appreciated it.

Second though is you need to respect my answer and receive my reasoning without objection. I genuinely have a boyfriend of 3 years. I felt it was my obligation as a committed girlfriend to tell you this and move on. What is confusing about that? Donโ€™t assume Iโ€™m lying to get rid of you. Please know that I respected your courage but you need to respect my answer.

Sincerely,

Why canโ€™t we be friends?

Dear Life,

Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit lonely

And youโ€™re never coming round

Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit tired

Of listening to the sound of my tears

Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit nervous

That the best of all the years have gone by

Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit terrified

And then I see the fuckin look in your eyes

Turnaround bright eyes, fuckin every now and then I fall apart

Turnaround bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart

And I need you now tonight

And I fuckin need you more than ever

And if you only hold me tight

Weโ€™ll be holding on forever

And weโ€™ll only be making it right

โ€˜Cause weโ€™ll never be wrong together

We can take it to the end of the line

Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time (all of the time)

I donโ€™t know what to do and Iโ€™m always in the dark

Weโ€™re living in a powder keg and giving off sparks

I really need you tonight

Foreverโ€™s gonna start tonight

Foreverโ€™s gonna start tonight

Once upon a time I was falling in love

But now Iโ€™m only falling apart

And thereโ€™s nothing I can do

A total eclipse of the heart

Once upon a time there was light in my life

But now thereโ€™s only love in the dark

Nothing I can say

A total eclipse of the heart

Turnaround bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart

Turnaround bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart

And I need you now tonight (And I need you now)

And I need you more than ever

And if you only hold me tight (And if you only)

Weโ€™ll be holding on forever

And weโ€™ll only be making it right (โ€˜Cause weโ€™ll never be wrong)

โ€˜Cause weโ€™ll never be wrong together

We can take it to the end of the line

Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time (all of the time)

I donโ€™t know what to do and Iโ€™m always in the dark

Weโ€™re living in a powder keg and giving off sparks

I really need you tonight

Foreverโ€™s gonna start tonight

Foreverโ€™s gonna start tonight

Once upon a time I was falling in love

But now Iโ€™m only falling apart

And thereโ€™s nothing I can say

A total eclipse of the heart

A total eclipse of the heart

A total eclipse of the heart

Turn around bright eyes

Sincerely,

the Great White Buffalo- still roaming the pastures of your life
