The Best People You Will Ever Meet...And The Worst

Professors You Will Have In College

Professors: can't go to college with 'em, can't go without 'em. Some will make you consider dropping out on the spot, while others will inspire you to work hard and be proud of that diploma. Here is a definitive list of every professor you will have in college.

The Control Freak

This professor runs class like a kindergarten classroom. He/she will correct you if you forget to say "Dr..." and internally explodes at the sound of side chatter. You have to buy the textbook because they assign "practice work" out of it and because they probably wrote it. Their class runs like a work camp and they loooovvveee checking attendance and can smell a cell phone before it enters the room.


The Chill AF One

Every department has at least one. This professor likes to joke about everything and gets what it likes to be a poor, sleep-deprived college student. They keep class light and fun and probably don't give huge assignments. You may even like attending their class on some occasions.


The Honest One

You probably have this professor your senior year when you are both passed the point of GAF. They probably don't want to be teaching class as much as you don't want to be in it, so you both share a mutual bond and accept your fates. You and this professor have love/hate relationship. This professor has annoying assignments but you feel bad letting them down so you actually have to do work in their class.


The Good Guy/Bad Teacher

This professor is probably an old man who was around when the college was built. He is too nice and passionate about his subject but DEER GOD he cannot teach. You probably feel bad skipping his class but at the same time you. just. can't. even.


The Genius


This professor definitely teaches some BS computer class you were forced to take as a sophomore. Although incredible to listen to, you will not understand a word this professor says. You're probably afraid to ask questions in their class because the answer will lead to an entirely different discussion where you end up being as confused as before. It's usually impossible to skip this professor's class for fear you might miss something you won't understand anyway.


The Bully

You heard about this professor before you even got to college. This professor finds sick pleasure in failing seniors and HAPPILY refuses overrides. Their RateMyProfessor comments include "Avoid at all costs," "Has no soul," and "P sure satan teaches that class." You're almost better off not showing up to this class because you're not going to pass either way.


The Powerpoint Princess

This professor probably made you buy the textbook even though all notes and assignments are on the weekly powerpoint. This professor probably grades on attendance and participation even though the powerpoint is online and he/she reads off the slides the whole class.


The Ghandi

These professors are more rare than seeing a senior in an 8am, but when you get one they immediately make you question every life decision you've ever made. You'll probably have them in a writing elective class you were forced to take, but they will inspire you to change you major A$AP ROCKY.

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. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. 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.
