What they don't do is more annoying than anything

In This Article:

We all have professors who forget to do what they said they would do but we still either like or dislike their class. Would it help if they changed their ways yes it would.


1. Put stuff on blackboard before the semester starts

Grated they probably won't do this but it is a wish we can hope for because it is that time of year to color coordinate planners and feel like we have some control of out lives.

2. Tell us class is canceled before everyone shows up

Although its better the be safe than sorry. But sometimes going to a class and then realizing that its cancelled is worse than anything..

3.Have test, quizes, and assignments graded on time

Nobody likes to be an Anxious Annie waiting to see if they made the grade they wanted or needed to take. Especially at finals time.

4. Put material on blackboard when they are able to.

Because face it everyone hates when a professor says they will put it in on black board that day but they never do. Happens a lot and it can get irritating.

5.Not make us do ice breakers on the first day.

I came here to learn not to tell everyone my life story. I'm not gonna see these people again nor remember half of their names after today.

6.Make us get the textbook if we are not gonna use it.

Not sure if this has happened to anyone but it's happened to me. Got a textbook and realized I didn't need it for class. Waste of money especially since it was a loose leaf. Always ask before you buy.

7. Hold us for longer than what the class is.

Not every professor has done this but a few get a little to carried away with class and end up going over time with talking.

8. Expect us to know everything from last year.

We will need a little refresher on things from last semester it is just a fact. We don't spend our time off college studying we use it to work, hang with friends, and spend time with family.

9. Stop being happy in the morning.

We are not morning people. We need some kind of energy in the morning form coffee, energy drinks, or something. You should not be professor go lucky in the morning. Where is your coffee or caffeine drink?

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.
