An Open Letter
Next I would like to thank those who took the time to listen
to my problems: Professor Ewing for being understanding, my mom for answering
her phone at 10:30 at night when I felt like giving up and crying. My roommate
for hugging me while I was on the phone crying to my mom. My other two
roommates who have been listening to my problems all week. The office ladies in Dicke who saw I was having a bad week and gave me a cookie. Lastly my counselor
who at the time of me writing this blog I have not talked to but she seems to
always know how to help me. I think part of the reason why I can make it
through this week is because I know she will be there at the end of the week to
help me. If you are like me and feel like you cannot catch a break I highly
recommend the counseling center. I started going there for different reasons,
but I would not stop going for any reason.
The ironic thing is as I write this blog post I received an
invitation to join the communication honorary Lambda Pi Eta. The other problems
in my life did not go away, but it gave me the opportunity to call my parents
back and let them know that I will be okay. It will probably be the highlight
of my week. I may not come out unhurt, but I will come out the other side. In the
eye of a hurricane there is quiet. I do not believe in a higher power, but
maybe it believes in me.
Congratulations on your honorary invitation! How exciting! I am sorry that it has been a rough week for you. I think at some point each semester, everyone has a break down. Hopefully, this can count as yours and the remainder of your senior year will be wonderful! Ranting can be a nice way to relieve stress. Once it's all out, you don't have to worry about it as much. It's nice that you have a very supportive roommate. I also feel like, although the professors here challenge us, they are typically very understanding if we have a rough week. Here's to better weeks to come!

First of all, congratulations on your invitation! Receiving that letter had to make you feel amazing. The past couple of weeks have seemed to be trying for me as well. At some point, we all come across that hard week or couple of weeks where we feel like nothing is going our way. These moments bring us down temporarily, but deep down we know there will be a silver lining. Some days it is harder to see than others, but it is there. Once again congratulations and stay positive, you can do it!
ReplyDeleteAs I read your letter, I could not help but think of Rocky speaking to Adonis Creed. I do not remember exactly what he said, but there was one part that stood out. "It is not how you hit, It is about how you take the hit". These professors hit us with a lot of stuff, and they always seem to hit us at the worst times. It seems like you know how to take the hit, and congratulations by the way.
