Professors... Just stop. Most professors think they are the bomb when they're actually not. Us students, try to make our learning experiences a little more bearable sometimes, but, there are just some professors that seem to make that a little impossible. I don't get how simple things are so hard for them to do. Its basics people. So here are a few things that professors do that really annoy most students if not every student.

1. When they are late.

I'm not even gonna' get started with this one.

2. When they miss class and don't send you an email previous to the class to warn you.

You know, It's not that hard to write an email and send it... Thank you for wasting our time.


3. When they don't use the class hours to explain the material.

The GIF pretty much sums up the feeling.


4. When they think they know it all and they think you don't know half of the things they do.

I know we are there to learn from you, but we are not idiots either. Shout out to half of my professors... #sorrynotsorry


5. When they try to intimidate you because apparently “they have power and you don't.”

Actually, you don't have more power than us, but, if that helps you sleep at night...


6. When the class is over but they keep you in class because apparently “they can and they will.”

I really despite you... As if 1 hour and a half wasn't enough.


7. When they all complot against students and they all give exams for the same day or week.

The feels man... The feels...


8. When they give you homework and never end up collecting it even though you spent all night doing it.

Yes! Alright. I just wasted my sleeping hours for nothing. OK.


9. When they make you study something very different to what actually comes on the exam.

I think you guys like to make us panic and feel unprepared.


10. When you ask a question that they don't know the answer to so they ignore you.

Aren't you suppose to be there to answer questions? When did I get lost?


11. When they get mad because you asked the same question several times because you don't understand their answer.

If I need to be explained 5 times or more, you explain 5 times or more. Isn't that your job?


12. When they talk with fancy, pretty sure, invented words to confuse students.

I'm almost sure some professors invent fancy words just to look superior...


13. When they don't let you use the cellphone in class but they do.

As well as I get distracted using my phone, I get distracted if you're using your phone. So, how about the same rules apply to everyone?


14. When they mess with your grades.

This particularly happens when they don't like you. They subtract points for everything. They even subtract points when the essay is well written, its just that simply, they don't like you. Shout out Prof... Better not.

15. When they read the Power Point.

Please don't... Just don't. Originality never hurt nobody.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
