my student changed the way the application opens a new doc.

[Guest]

my students managed to change the default setting when open MS word and get a
blank document. Now I get like a template document with "I love you"
everytime I open word. How do you change that back to how it was before.

Don't blame your student, as this problem is more likely caused by an
add-in. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/BlankDocNotBlank.htm

"Don't attribute to malice what can just as easy be attributed to
error." (Murphy)

However, knowing that there are students involved, and that the text is
"I love you", this could be an intentional prank. In any case:
1) solve it with the link Suzanne provided
2) be happy: your students love you! ;-)
