I didn't pay for this crap.

4 Things You Want To Say To THAT College Professor, But Can't
Maya Samad

I have an infinite amount of respect for every single professor that has given me feedback and helped me grow. Even the harsher ones, who have really made me turn my finger around and examine myself, have done me a favor simply by making me be better.

I have learned so much from almost every one of them, and couldn’t be more appreciative of their work and time.There is a lot that we owe those golden professors, but they also put through a lot of shit.

If we have the same luck, it seems that every semester, there’s one class you just can’t drop, but, oh God, you want to.

If I could find the guts to toss the filter and open my fat mouth, this is what would likely come out.

1. I didn’t get out of bed for this crap.

And now I'm regretting it. All that it got me was my ass in this cold chair, trying to decipher your chicken scratch, not understanding what’s going on even a little. Repeat that last bit?

Why do some professors even bother? You are an almost-sixty year old man. You don't have to tell us that Alexander the Great got "totally lit with that Macedonian wine, fam". We already know. You told the same joke on Monday.

2. Am I offended enough to say something?

I once had a professor say that the rate of rape was correlated to warm weather. Another time, a male professor told a female student to smile more. Sometimes, you just have to read the room, and if no one else is upset, what can you do? It sucks. Bet you didn't think I'd get that right, did ya?!


3. This has got to be a joke.

She's screwing with us. No way this is a legitimate exercise. What does this accomplish?!

4. Wow, I did not pay for this crap.

I paid way too much money for this course for this guy to ramble on and on about Peppa Pig for an hour. Yes, I have spent a full, entire hour in class talking about and watching Peppa Pig. It was anthropology.

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.
