6 Different Professors You Meet In College
Hollywood Reporter

Let's be honest, there wouldn't even be a thing such as college without professors to educate us. There are great professors, weird professors, professors who you can't understand, and professors who, despite their best intentions, put you to sleep. Here are some of the professors you'll meet in college:

1. The 8 am lecture professor

If this professor isn't engaging or entertaining, the lecture room will without a doubt turn into naptime.

2. The professor who thinks their class is the most important.

This professor expects perfection on all assignments. Anything less leads to a class-wide scolding. This professor doesn't realize that their introduction to writing class is filled with students who don't want to be writing majors.

3. The awkward professor.

This sweet, sweet professor tries their best to make whatever subject they're teaching interesting to the class. Unfortunately, they try a little too hard sometimes, leading to many awkward moments, corny jokes, and long pauses.

4. The "chill" prof.

Coming to this class is the best break in the day for a student. The professor essentially never gives out anything less than a B, making students like them even more.

5. The talker

Once this professor starts talking about an interesting part of the subject they teach, there's no stopping them. Going into office hours to ask one question turns into an hour-long monologue about the importance of statistics.

6. The teacher who turns into your mentor.

These professors are like hidden treasures in college. They actually want to help you learn, care about more than just your academic performance, and provide guidance when you don't know what you're doing.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
