6 Different Professors You Meet In College
Hollywood Reporter

Let's be honest, there wouldn't even be a thing such as college without professors to educate us. There are great professors, weird professors, professors who you can't understand, and professors who, despite their best intentions, put you to sleep. Here are some of the professors you'll meet in college:

1. The 8 am lecture professor

If this professor isn't engaging or entertaining, the lecture room will without a doubt turn into naptime.

2. The professor who thinks their class is the most important.

This professor expects perfection on all assignments. Anything less leads to a class-wide scolding. This professor doesn't realize that their introduction to writing class is filled with students who don't want to be writing majors.

3. The awkward professor.

This sweet, sweet professor tries their best to make whatever subject they're teaching interesting to the class. Unfortunately, they try a little too hard sometimes, leading to many awkward moments, corny jokes, and long pauses.

4. The "chill" prof.

Coming to this class is the best break in the day for a student. The professor essentially never gives out anything less than a B, making students like them even more.

5. The talker

Once this professor starts talking about an interesting part of the subject they teach, there's no stopping them. Going into office hours to ask one question turns into an hour-long monologue about the importance of statistics.

6. The teacher who turns into your mentor.

These professors are like hidden treasures in college. They actually want to help you learn, care about more than just your academic performance, and provide guidance when you don't know what you're doing.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
