The 10 Professors You'll Have In College

1. The professor that teaches at warp speed.

This professor has got a lot to teach and is always putting something on your plate. There is enough material for 3 hours worth of class shoved into a 50 minute period. Good luck trying to take notes on anything he says. Most of the time you'll be getting a hand cramp or end up with an illegible mess of notes.

2. The professor that always talks too quiet.

You'll learn this on day one, the day where almost the whole class shows up and your forced to sit in the back of the room. The teacher will be giving out important dates for the rest of the semester and you'll be so far away that you won't even know they are talking. Next class you'll sit at the front of the room, still struggling to hear anything the professor is saying.

3. The professor that assumes you know everything already.

When this professor asks a question the whole room goes silent. Nobody knows the answer, but no one wants to admit they don't know. This professor is usually extremely intelligent, but struggles trying to explain complicated topics to the class.

4. The professor that still uses an overhead projector.

Yep, Old School. Usually wearing some classic sweater vest, extra-high rise pants, and suspender combination. They handwrite all their notes on a blank slide and has never used PowerPoint in their life. This professor can be an oldie, but a goodie.

5. The professor that is near impossible to pass.

Good luck trying to pass this class, let alone get an 'A'. This class may be one of the hardest you will have throughout your whole college career, but you'll also learn more in it than in any of your other classes. This professor will most likely be coined as the one who ruined your GPA, but ten years down the line you'll be thanking them for how much important information you learned during the class.


6. The professor that always gives out life lessons.

This professor is out to change the world. They are doing their best to inspire students to be good people, make a change in the world or simply be happy. Regardless, this professor is always in a good mood and ready to help whenever possible.


7. The professor that always cracks jokes.

You're in the middle of the semester, stressed out of your mind. You're swamped with upcoming tests, essays, projects and research papers yet this is the one professor that always keeps things lighthearted. This professor gives you a break from your growing responsibilities and shows you that learning can be fun.

8. The professor that loves teaching

You'll know this professor from day one. They truly want you to learn and take away valuable information from the class over being worried about you completing all 17 papers and 4 exams by the end of this semester. Cherish this professor, as they will have a lot of compassion toward their students.

9. The professor that keeps you coming to class.

Engaging, relevant, and moving at a steady rate. The combination for a perfect college class. This professor has got it all down, along with one of the largest attendance rates around campus. Everyone seems to anonymously enjoy coming to this class, and the majority of the students pass with flying colors.

10. The professor that will always remember your name.

Now this doesn't make the professor any better at teaching, but it will help you to feel more comfortable around them and make you more likely to visit their office hours. In a class of 300 students, it makes you feel good that the teacher acknowledges you and remembers your name.

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.
