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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
