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.

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?

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.
