We’ve all had one…or two…awkwardly hot professors. You walk in the room, and just like Christmas morning (except hopefully he doesn’t smell like a tree), WHAM. There he is. Except you can’t be that girl: the girl that everyone knows…you know…gets a little too studious on a Friday night with said hunk of Introductory Spanish. Here’s a couple tips on how to avoid (or not avoid) the hot professor.
1. Play it cool
Ladies, this is when you have to be on you’re A-game. This is NOT. A. DRILL. Construct the group text of your sisters, take several snapchats and let the semester begin. Don’t forget to breathe, and map out a good seat. Middle to front of the lecture hall should do, so that he can’t see that you’re probably going to wear last night’s makeup two out of three classes a week.
2. Understand He’s Just a Person
He probably has gotten hit on by girls before, so don’t be that girl. (We will get to this.) He’s just another guy, but he’s still your professor. You shouldn’t try to be his best friend and ask him to Chims during syllabus week, but if you were to see said professor at the bar, however…use your discretion.
3. Pay Attention
Okay, all joking aside, you are actually paying for the class. You should probably pay attention and stop staring at his hair long enough to jot down the notes, and for the love of God, don’t be Lindsay Lohan in Mean Girls and pretend to fail to get attention.
4. Don’t be creepy
As mentioned before, please do not be creepy. Even if your prof is the same age (or younger) than you, literally it doesn’t give you a reason to be a creep. Do not under any circumstances ask a question that you would not ask another professor…see next point.
5. Look, Don’t Touch
Ahh, yes. DON’T BE THAT GIRL! It’s fun to giggle at how hot your prof is, but…no. Just no. Hopefully your semester will flourish with the promise of seeing bae every MWF from 11-12 p.m. Just sit back, relax and play things cool. After all, things are only as awkward as you make them.
