letter to the seniors of 2007.
Dear Seniors 2007,
You are now entering the foundation of the infamous senior project. All of the horror stories you once heard of this venture are about to hit you smack in the face. My name is Rhett Sandusky and I happen to be a survivor and a walking testimony of the glorified process. My topic was “Computer Architecture & History.” I researched when, why, and how computers came about, and also the rapid increase of reliance our generation has upon these machines. After mustering a numerous jumble of words on pieces of paper, I constructed my physical product: my own personal PC. This may sound like a boring topic to anything with a pulse; however, when you spend almost two years with anything, it gains interest. My advice on choosing a product is to formulate something light, and perhaps something that will fit inside of a book bag because bringing something heavy to and from school is no fun.
If you learn one thing from this grueling procedure it’s a little something called “time management.” Lets face it! At least 75% of the senior class waited until the last minute to do their product, paper, or even something as simple as getting a parents signature. Deadlines, deadlines, deadlines! Senior project is bursting with one after the other and they must be met. If you take anything from this deadline you’re reading right now it’s to not wait until the last minute to do something. Even though you may not get a good grade on the assignment, at least you turned it in on time, right? Time management my friend is the key to senior project.
It’s extremely important to be cliché in everything you do with this project. The instructions for this letter said to “be positive” in big capital letters. Throughout your journey, a smile will be forced upon your face or a bad grade will be forced upon your paper. If you get frustrated with anything at all, do not fight it because that has simply been attempted and shot down miserably. My motto throughout this project has been to “suck it up and lie.” If you forget to turn in a log: lie. When asked if you learned anything: lie. The only thing that should result in honesty is your letter the seniors of 2008, such as this wonderful piece of literature. Hopefully, my advice will be beneficial to the person that receives this and “fear and loathing, pain and death” will not be brought upon them. Good luck and may God have mercy on your soul!
Yours truly,
Rhett Sandusky
