18 Signs You Are A Future Teacher

1. You tend to go a little crazy when it's time to buy new school supplies.


You know it, your mom knows it, everyone knows it, your paycheck especially knows it.

2. You get so pumped thinking about all the cute "teaching outfits" you're going to have.


You might even have a Pinterest board dedicated to it.

3. You spend a lot of time thinking about how you are going to decorate your future classroom.

You definitely have a Pinterest board dedicated to it.

4. Planners make you oddly happy.

I don't know if it's normal to get that excited about a new planner, but I really don't care.

5. You probably hate standardized testing and Common Core more than anybody else.

It really just shouldn't be a thing.

6. You will always love coloring.

You probably have a couple adult coloring books.

7. You have perfected your "Teacher Voice."

You already know you will have to be using it a lot. And you are so ready.

8. You've also mastered "The Look."

.

You know which one I'm talking about. The "you're doing something wrong and you better sit down right now" look.

9. Buying all of your school supplies before the first day brings you an odd amount of excitement.

From first grade to college, you will always be excited about buying new folders and notebooks.

10. You oddly really like the smell of dry erase or sharpie markers.

If you don't yet, you will eventually.

11. You are extremely patient.

I mean hey, if you're going to be with 20+ kids a day, five days a week, you're going to have to be.

12. Crafting

You either love it, or hate it.

13. When someone says teaching is "easy" you get ready to fight somebody.

I would love to see you take care of all of these kids buddy, tell me how easy teaching is after spending a week in my shoes.

14. You absolutely LOVE stickers.

Always have, always will.

15. You flip out when people say "those who can, do and those who can't, teach."

Seriously, are you trying to start a fight? Because I'm ready.

16. You get really excited about children's books.

Non teachers will never understand your love for Amelia Bedelia.

17. You rely on coffee to get you through the day.


Even more than most college students.

18. Sometimes you get a little scared thinking about how little money you will make.

But you know the money doesn't matter, because you're picking the right profession for you, and you wouldn't have it any other way.

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.

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.
