High school is definitely not a place for the faint of heart. And not just because of the bullies. No one ever warns you about the most eccentric, rude and just plain bad teachers. Well, look no further, because here's a handy guide to the seven types of teachers you'll meet in high school!


1. The Good Teacher

HAHAHAHAHA just kidding. There are no good teachers.

2. The Alcoholic

You know the teachers that wander through the halls with a dead look in their eye? The ones you don't want to be in a hallway with? That's these guys. Often math teachers —these people often have dark circles under their eyes, speak in a monotone voice and quite frankly look like they belong in a seedy bar as opposed to a room full of children.

3. The Storyteller

Often associated with band teachers, these are the people who are nice enough, but spend most of their time talking about themselves or their life as opposed to actually teaching.

While this sounds nice, if the teacher isn't a band teacher, you may have disastrous consequences. For example, your history teacher has fascinating tales of their time in Germany during the Cold War, but you also are taking a test tomorrow, and you don't know anything about the Industrial Revolution.

4. The Scary Teacher

Everyone has experienced a teacher who has impossibly high standards and views you as incompetent if you dare fall even a little bit short of their expectations. And they get so mad whenever you give the wrong answer or ask to go to the bathroom. They also have a bunch of stupid rules.

5. Bad Comedian Teacher

Also sometimes a band teacher. These teachers tell the same, bad jokes and stories over and over and over again until you want to stab yourself with a pencil. Usually they expect a laugh, and for some reason look sincerely confused if they don't get one.

6. Doesn't Want To Be There

These teachers often go hand in hand with the alcoholics, and for some reason are also coaches a lot of the time. They generally will either assign work and then say have at it, or they show a video and call it a day.

7. "Phones are the devil, and have ruined our society."

That one teacher — almost always old — that absolutely loses it whenever they see a phone, no matter what. Even if you are just walking past them with earbuds, they look at you as though you just dropped the f-bomb in front of them.

8. Trying To Be Cool

And God bless this poor misguided soul who tries so hard to be cool for their students but is always repayed with rude kids who take advantage of their kindness and people whispering about them behind their back about how they're pathetic.

9. The Really, Really Bad Teacher

This teacher is often a combination of all of the above. It's the class that you only go into because you don't want a spot on your attendance record. You have to teach yourself this class, and it's often the class you struggle with.

10. The Sketchy Teacher

You know that teacher that always complimented you on your clothes and hair if you were female? The one asked if you were doing sex-ed in health yet? The one who stands around creepily? The one who has too many rumors going around that they have some sketchy things saved on your laptop? Yeah. That teacher still works there.

11. The Ruiner

Of course, you always get the worst teachers in the class you like the most? Did you love reading? Well, spend 20 minutes trying to find the metaphor when it's a trick question and watch those dreams of being an author fly far, far away!

12. The Procrastinator

"Yeah, sorry guys. I have't been able to put the grades in yet."

"I'm pushing back the test date to next week."

"Oh and by the way, there's gonna be a sub here for the next three weeks while I put in your grades for your September exam before you graduate this class."

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
