9 Things Your Professor Probably Said To You On The First Day Of Classes

We've all heard it. Hopefully, you've endured your first day and survived the boring introductions to your classes.

1. "Attendance is mandatory"

Ugh we get it. We pay for class, but show up for class (even though I don't want to).

2. "I don't have to read the syllabus to you"

They say it... but they will continue to read too much of it.

3. "The textbook isn't that expensive"

Listen buddy. I'm only fake rich. I've got that student loan, not a million dollars.

4. "As long as you do the work, you'll pass the class"

But what if you don't wanna do the work?

5. "Not a lot of people pass this class, so you should get a tutor now."

If you hear this, it's a red flag. Run. Find a different professor who is actually going to to do their job and TEACH you.

6. "I realize it's after lunch, but you have to wake up."

You professor will say this to you, even though they're yawning.

7. A very bad mispronunciation of your name.

You just smile, laugh it off, and correct them.

8. "The course schedule is in the syllabus"

Even though you know they won't follow it.

9. "We're gonna have fun this semester"

Yet the only one with the doctorate is saying it.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
