10 Types Of College Professors

College can be the best of times and the worst of times, all in the same day. A professor can make or break a class. Below are 10 college professors that you will likely come across in your college career. More likely than not, if you're like me, your college career is five years. Which one is you favorite?

1. The Auctioneer

via GIPHY

This professor lectures with no visuals all class long. They talk so fast that it seems your only option is to record them or let your hand fall off from taking notes. You have to attend every single one of these professor's classes, or you will miss what seems like two weeks of information.

2. The Walking Textbook

via GIPHY

This professor teaches and tests straight out of the textbook. Either they made the textbook themselves, or they are too lazy to make their own notes. Hope that this professor doesn't have an attendance policy because attending this class will be pointless.

3. The "Student"

via GIPHY

This professor tells you to call them by their first name on the first day of class. They want to make sure you know they are just like you. They give you their personal cell on the syllabus because that isn't beyond weird.

4. The Intimidator

via GIPHY

This professor tells you on the first day that very few people actually pass their class, so you better study your ass off. These professors are all bark and no bite.

5. The Misunderstood

This professor is oddly often teaching the hardest classes. Maybe they are so hard because you not only have to learn the information, but you have to interpret their accent to English. They may spend the whole class mumbling. Hopefully they don't spend the whole class yelling thinking they are using their inside voice.

6. The Chili Pepper

via GIPHY

This professor was rated hot online, so you signed up. Class is always better with a good view.

7. The Judge

via GIPHY

This professor says they are teaching their class without giving their opinion. They lied. They often say "I'm just playing devil's advocate" or "I'm not supposed to tell you my view but..."

8. The PowerPoint Hoe

via GIPHY

This professor has a new PowerPoint every day. All they do is read from the slides. Great for a visual leaner and great for note takers.

9. Mr. Impossible

via GIPHY

This professor has you crying after the first test all the way until the end of the semester (if you don't drop). They think it is the students fault that the whole class got an average of 60 on the exam. Just hope drop/add is still going after the first exam.

10. The Slacker

via GIPHY

This professor never responds to your emails no matter how many you send. They also take the entire semester to grade the assignment you turned in syllabus week. You practically have to chase this professor down if you want something (aka Cameron Diaz in "Bad Teacher").

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
