Dear Professors, Stop Making Us Pay Money To Do Our Homework

Dear college professors,

College costs a lot of money. Tuition can be in between ten thousand dollars to as much as sixty thousand dollars a year.

Not to mention, we have to factor In the cost of housing, textbooks, meal plans, etc. But the last thing I thought that I would have to pay for is to do my homework.

I am taking five classes this semester and I have to pay for online "services" in order to complete my homework assignments. The total cost for all three online homework services will be around an extra two hundred dollars. Remember, this does not include the cost of all of my textbooks for said classes.

Without purchasing these subscriptions, we would essentially fail the class. Every single quiz, assignment, and exam is being given to us through these websites.

I know two hundred dollars doesn't necessarily sound like a lot of money but it's a lot for a broke college student like myself.

My roommates and I are all currently living off of various types of boxed pasta and frozen lunches so I don't think we have an extra eighty dollars to pay for online quizzing subscriptions.

Personally, I am all about investing in my education. But, I feel like there are many other free options for professors to use in their classes.

Sincerely,

All college students

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
