10 Ways Your Professors Are Extra

We both know I'm just trying to pass.

1. Group Projects.

Nobody has to time to schedule group meetings outside of class. Bonus points on the extra scale if the prof doesn't let you choose your own groups.

2. When they take longer than a week to post grades on Blackboard.

Maybe this is understandable if they're grading papers or something, but most of the time it's just a scantron. Stick it through the scanner and let's see it!

3. When they give you a full on assignment for one bonus point.

I appreciate the gesture, but what difference will this make?

4. When they don't round grades.

Basic math: .5 or higher = round up.

5. When they don't post their PowerPoints online.

It is possible for me to pay attention, but still not catch every word you say.


7. When they scrutinize a doctor's note.

I went to the doctor, paid a copay, and have a signed note, why do you need more information? Would you like a video of me vomiting to prove I had the stomach flu?

8. When they go out of town and have their TA teach instead.

You're not here, so we shouldn't have to be either.

9. When they run out of time to teach a topic, but still put it on the final.

Somehow this always happens with complicated topics. It's OK, it's not like I pay thousands of dollars of tuition for you to teach me...oh wait...

10. When they don't post final grades until an hour before grades are due.

For one, it is possible you made an actual mistake in my grade. Also, I need time to argue my case as to why you should round up my grade (see #4).

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
