Meet Professor McConaughey

What can we expect from him?

Do you remember when your parents questioned you on why you failed your math test? You were unable to say it was because you were staring at your crush more than you were looking at the board. Well, about 30 college students will have to tell their parents the truth now. Students, meet your professor:

The University of Texas at Austin will have the honor of introducing the best lecturer for the fall of 2016. Meet Professor McConaughey who will be returning to his alma mater to teach film-making class for 30 juniors and seniors.

So, what could we expect this fall?

1. Classroom crowds

It's very likely that in the first few weeks of the semester, we'll see a line of people standing outside the classroom or students pushing each other to get a picture of Matthew McConaughey. The real question is: how long will that line stay?

2. Classroom rules

Although he is a Hollywood star, students can't expect to pass his class by watching his movies and skipping class. There are some rules he'll set about grading, cellphones, laptops usage and tardiness policies. These rules could tell about what kind of teacher he is. Expect to give your best effort, just like a person who is about to receive an Oscar award would.

3. Office hours

Excuse me professor, I'm majoring in biology but can you tutor me too, please? Whether students are failing or getting straight A's in the class, all of them will be there, so expect his office to be crowded everyday.


4. Parking

If a normal professor has special parking, where does an actor, producer and Oscar winner park? Could we expect a limo, Lincoln MKC car or just a regular Chevy 2017 model?

5. Security and paparazzi

If you plan to walk by Professor McConaughey, just smile and look nice because you don't know when the paparazzi will show up. Don't be surprised to see yourself on TMZ and don't start complaining that your hair was in a bun, because I told you.

6. Texan

After all, we can't forget that Matthew McConaughey is from Uvalde, Texas, has graduated from The University of Texas at Austin with a film degree and will always be a Longhorn. So juniors and seniors, expect to hear "alright" every class discussion for this fall.

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.
