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.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
