To The Professor Who's Ignoring My Emails, This Is Literally Your Job

I am so over being the nice student, it's getting me nowhere with you.

To The Professor Who's Ignoring My Emails, This Is Literally Your Job

Hey there!

I get that you are super busy, I mean, you have to teach my class and then your other four or five courses, not to mention you have to keep up with your online classes while going to school to get your doctorate's degree! I would say make sure your family is okay, but you've said in class many times that you don't have one, so you can't use that excuse on me, but if someone near and dear to you is hurt or you are going through something, then I am so sorry, but you need to hear this.

From writing about one professor who showed blatant favoritism to now writing about you — the professor who has no regard for her students and their grades — I am just living the college life, aren't I?

I said in my many emails, ten emails to be exact, that I have tried to be understanding towards you and give you the benefit of the doubt, but screw that; these are my grades we're talking about here and I'm not gonna let them suffer at the hands of your negligence.

I get it, we all have lives and better things to do, but if I am paying thousands of dollars to attend a university to be taught by the best, then I expect the best. I expect professionalism. I expect you to do your job so I can do mine. I'm paying money to attend a class when I end up teaching myself the material. I'm paying you to be lazy, so the least you can do is respond to my email.

But no, it's completely okay. Ignore my emails, drink your coffee, and sit at your desk playing Solitaire; I have nothing better to do other than save my GPA because you won't respond to an email where I am begging you for help in an assignment.

I would at least take a simple, "Checking on this," but that would be asking too much of you. I guess you have to do what you have to do and I'll do what I gotta do.

Screw being the "nice" student — I just want you to respond to my emails so we can discuss things professionally and like grown-ups, but I can already see that's a one-sided conversation that I don't even think I should waste my time and energy on.

Best regards,

A very angry (yet compassionate) student

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.
