SUMMER
SHE’S HOLDING A gun to my head.
Well, figuratively at least.
The gun in question: Hockey. The woman holding it: Dr. Laura Langston,
Ph.D.
“Hockey?” I repeat. “You want me to do my grad school application on
hockey?”
Langston has been my grad school advisor for the past year, but I’ve been
working under her wing since I started at Dalton University.
She’s everything I want to be, and I’ve obsessed over every academic
paper she’s written. She’s kind of my celebrity crush in the nerdiest way
possible. With her Ph.D. in sports psychology, countless papers published,
and experience with Olympians and athletes around the world, she’s
inspirational.
Until you get to know her.
When they said Don’t meet your heroes, they were talking about Laura
Langston. She’s the human equivalent of an angry swarm of wasps. There
are plenty of professors who treat their students like total garbage and think
their fancy piece of paper means they can be tyrants, but Langston is a
different species. Her brilliance is undeniable, but she is patronizing,
dismissive, and purposely difficult when she knows you need her help.
So, why the hell did I choose her as my advisor? Because her success rate
in getting students into Dalton’s prestigious master’s program is too
enticing to ignore.
It’s the number one program in North America and
students vetted by her are guaranteed acceptance. Not to mention she
chooses who will be eligible for co-op—a competitive program that allows
one student from our cohort to work with Team USA. It’s been my dream
from the age of eight, so I’ll suffer through her monstrous dictatorship if it
means I’ll soon have my own master’s degree in sports psychology.
“You need to start using your resources to your advantage, Summer.” She
surveys me above the rim of her glasses. “I know you hate hockey, but this
is your last chance to submit a solid application.”
The word hate slips past her lips as if my aversion to the sport is
completely fabricated. Considering she’s one of the few people who know
why I stay far away from the icy rink and the similarly icy men skating on
it, I barely keep my composure. Sticking me right in the center of that blue
circle with an empirical research study that determines the fate of my future
is pure evil. An evil only Dr. Langston and her molten heart can manage.
“But why hockey? I’ll choose football. Basketball. Even curling. I don’t
care.” Does Dalton even have a curling team?
“Exactly. You don’t care. I need you to do something you care about.
Something you feel strongly about. Hence hockey.”
I hate that she’s right. Sweeping aside her overall ominous nature, she is a
smart woman. I mean she didn’t get her Ph.D. for nothing, but being her
student is a double-edged sword.
“But—”
She lifts a hand. “I won’t approve anything else. Do this or lose your
spot. The choice is yours.”
It’s like the universe sent me my very own Fuck You in the form of my
professor. Years of working my ass off in undergrad only to be told hockey
is my saving grace. What a joke.
