To The Professor Assigning 150 Minutes Of Movie-Watching Homework, Can We Put That On Pause?

In This Article:

We are college students. Taking 12 credit hours or more. Involved with extracurriculars. Working jobs. Studying and doing homework for other classes. What makes you think I can dedicate 2.5 hours to watching an educational movie for class?

Here are 10 things I would much rather do.

1. Write an essay

Yep, give me a prompt and I'll write an essay because it would take me less time to do that than watch a movie.

2. Watch a specific scene from the movie

Odds are that the point of the two-hour movie can be wrapped up in one scene, so just show us that scene in class and say why it is important

3. Read a summary

Most likely, I will be on Wikipedia reading the plot summary anyway.

4. Watch the trailer

Or I will watch the trailer on YouTube to get the jest of the movie.

5. Text my classmates

See if they have watched it and can give me the rundown.

6. Watch the movie in class

Seems like an obvious choice if you're going to have us watch a movie.

7. Study

Yup, would rather take those two hours and dedicate it to studying for something worth many more points and worth the time.

8. Nothing

I would rather do nothing and not even have an assignment :)

9. Not even watch it

If it comes to it, I won't even watch it.

10. Drop the class

If that movie is worth a large amount of our grade, I just might have to drop the class because ain't nobody got time for that.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
