What Your Professors Are Actually Thinking

What Your Professors Are Actually Thinking

How many days until summer vacation? 

Eighty seven days until I get to get away from this classroom. Eighty six days until I can have my Star Wars marathon. Eighty five days until I can get through a day without smacking my palm against my head at the stupidity of some people. Eighty four days until I stop getting countless emails from these kids. Almost there. I can do this.


Oh, very clever kid, like I would never notice you texting behind that book of yours. 

How about you come up with a more clever way to hide the fact that you're texting during my lecture. I might be older than you, but I’m not blind. Could you not stand to be away from your precious device for an hour? (bzzzzzz, bzzzzzz) Crap, I definitely forgot to turn my phone on silent.


I wish I could take a nap too. 

Why do they even come to my class if they’re just going to sleep? I want to sleep. I’m tired, too. Maybe I could put on an “educational video” and close my eyes for a second. I’ll turn out the lights and they will never notice. We could have a joint napping session in class. Wait, could I actually do that? I could get fired. Is it worth the risk?


You’re and idiot, you’re and idiot, you are definitely an idiot. 

These kids are so stupid. How can they not understand this? It’s just quantum physics. No, I am not going too fast kid. You are just too stupid to keep up. How did you even graduate from high school? If one of these kids comes and asks me how to do this after class, I’m going to slap him. I already spent an entire class period going over it. It’s not my fault you were dropped on your head as a child. And let’s face it, you're all going to fail the test no matter what you do. Because you’re idiots and there is nothing I can do about it … except I can get fired if they all fail. Alright, extra credit it is. Why can’t I offer extra credit, like twenty extra credit points if you bring the teacher a donut? Yeah, I should really start doing that.


Kid actually answers question posed — oh my God! I’m not just talking to myself up here. 

I’ve finally gotten through to someone. I have finally received a response! Hallelujah, praise The Lord, praise Jesus. What are you doing? Stop waisting time. I need to follow up with the kid and ask him another question and maybe I can create an actual dialogue in this class. (Asks another question, nodding encouragingly at the kid. No response). Dang it, I really thought I had it this time.


Oh good, 20% of the class showed up today. 

Fine. If those lazies don’t want to show up and listen to my genius then that’s their problem. I’ll just tell these kids a bunch of stuff that will be on the test and laugh when the slackers miss it. I should just tell all the students that we have a test next Wednesday. Then everyone would show up and I could be like “Sike! I lied.” Then I would be loved because I had canceled this pretend test, and I would also have a full classroom to lecture, too. Yep, I’m going to do it. But then would they be up all night studying and stressing? Awh, I can’t do that. Yes I can, they’re all ungrateful hooligans anyways.

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.
