8 Types of Professors at Small Colleges
Readingthebricks.blogspot.com

Professors. We love them. We hate them. If you go to a small college, like myself, then you will definitely get to know all of your professors thanks to your super small classes. You may even have one professor more than once! You have probably had one, maybe two of these types of professors but they all certainly exist.

1. The General

This is the professor that teaches that Biology class that you have to take and treats all of his students like they are Bio majors. Attendance is always big with them. Being an athlete and having a game out of state is not an excuse either.

2. The Nut

This is that professor that wears sandals in December and smells kinda like jerky but you love them anyways because they make punny jokes on a regular basis and have the most memorable stories.


3. The Artist

This is that professor that wears really loose clothing and is always making analogies for things that don’t need them. This professor also takes the arts super seriously and applies them to all topics. They have probably said something like "If you think about it, business is a lot like theater..."


4. The Coach

This is that professor that is probably teaching a physical education class or health topics. Sometimes your class feels like a locker room with all of the sports references that you don't get. This professor also picks on the athletes and not you...unless you’re an athlete. If you are, I’m sorry.

5. The Parent

This is the professor that is constantly complaining about their kids and passive aggressively mentions them in class. They are often late to class and send emails explaining how their kid ruined something. If you're lucky their kids are toddlers, and they will make a surprise appearance in class. It will be very hard to focus.


6. The Hippie

This is the professor that never really seems to be 100 percent there in class. What he/she does before and after class…. Well, that is for you to decide.


7. The Retiree

This is the professor that is retiring after this semester and doesn’t care about anything. They will often times never return work because, let's face it, they didn’t look at it. They also won't hesitate to say what they are thinking, even about you.

8. The Student Teacher

Wait, you’re not a student? You're the Professor? Oh…. Awkward.


If you're really lucky he/she is hot. Possibly in your league. But many times, they are either married, look like your awkward neighbor that moved back home last summer and really creeps you out, or not your professor.

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?

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
