The most memorable professors probably fall into one of these categories.

8 Types of Professors at Small Colleges

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.

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.
