6 Times My Professors Had No Chill

Some teachers just DGAF

6 Times My Professors Had No Chill
Huffington Post

By this point it's more than just a conspiracy theory that all teachers gather at the beginning of the semester for a school wide meeting where they plan all of their exams, essays and projects on the same day just to torture us.

Believe me, teachers are ruthless and they cause more emotional damage than a first heartbreak. Seriously, professors have absolutely no chill and even a bucket of your tears couldn't make them empathetic. I'm just a student paying thousands of dollars just to be tortured by countless hours of work - it's already bad enough. There's no need for their merciless savagery. They can't be stopped though, and I'm sure you've suffered some no chill teacher moves too.

1. When they assign an essay on a long weekend or holiday


I know they're gonna be sitting on their couch this weekend blissfully relaxing with no papers to correct, while we're all working our asses off on a paper they assigned for us to do on the "break". I guess it's not much of a break now. Don't worry though, while they're snuggled up with their wife and kids watching Christmas movies, I'm not even tripped about the fact that I'm neglecting my family that I haven't seen in months. No worries bro.

2. When they say the final exam will not be multiple choice

This isn't even the worst of it. They let us know at the last minute, don't post any of the lectures online, and don't offer a review or even a study guide. It's cool though. I guess I'll just make flash cards for everything that's happened from 2000 B.C.E until now and hope that whatever's on your test falls somewhere in there since I have no idea what to study.

3. When they assign an essay right after a midterm


Nice! I've spent the past week studying for a stupid test about stuff I probably won't even remember in a month. But nope, that's not enough, now I have to write 10 pages, MLA, about the same stupid topic, right when I thought I had a break.

4. When they ask the class how everyone's feeling after assigning hours of homework due the night before

The pettiest question that can be asked. They damn well know I was up until 3 A.M. finishing the endless readings they assigned. It's even worse when they ask "did anyone watch the football game?" Of course I didn't, I was doing the freakin' homework! But I'm sure they did and they probably even had wings or pizza too while I ate a 10 month old cup of noodles.

5. When they say everyone did poorly on the exam but it won't be curved


I will never understand how everyone in the class can bomb a test and the professor still won't take the blame. There's 100-something kids in this class and we're all failing. It's not me, it's you.

6. When they take it slow in the beginning but then cram an entire semester's worth of work in the last week


Well I had an A all semester but none of that matters because 90% of my grade is all gonna be crammed into essays, tests, projects and a final exam, and it's all due the last week of school. I never know where I stand. Basically, I could either make the Dean's list or fail out of college, and it all bottles down to the last couple days of the semester.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
