4 Things Professors Do That Make You Angry
Odyssey

In college today, we have really good and really smart professors. We all go through the ones that really aren't good at the material. We all wish we could teach that certain material because we know that professor isn't explaining it well enough. But this is not what this article is about, but instead, this article is about what both the good ones and bad ones do what we hate. These things four will have you have you asking your professors why do they do this.

1. When they tell you to get textbooks, but you really don't need them:

When professors tell us we will need a book, and then we don't use it but one time the whole semester. I don't understand why they make us waste $300 dollars on a book we barely even use. If they would have told us we were barely using the book, I would have never bought the book. They don't understand that a book really does cost a arm and a leg. I think it would be very beneficial if they would tell us if we need it or if we are learning from the book or not. It would save us a whole lot of stress.

2. The professor who never posts notes online:

I really don't like when teacher doesn't post their notes online. I really feel like for some students, especially me, it's better to watch them talk and write stuff on the board to better understand. Plus I feel like they are really wanting the student to learn their way, but not their own ways, which isn't far at all.

3. The professor who doesn't allow note taking electronics in class:

I really think this one really depends on a person and how they learn. If the person is a great learner that way, let them do it. But if that one person gets distracted by them, don't take it away from the class altogether. In today's society, we learn with electronics in many different ways like: social media, google, etc. So why not let us use electronics??

4. The one who never grades your exams on time:

This is really one of the worst things that many professors suck at. I don't really know why they suck at it... they just do. I guess they feel that turning in their grades late will help a student. Which it will not because they wanna know if they need to drop the class or what they need to do to help their grades get better the next time.

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.
