To The Professor Who's Ignoring My Emails, This Is Literally Your Job

I am so over being the nice student, it's getting me nowhere with you.

To The Professor Who's Ignoring My Emails, This Is Literally Your Job

Hey there!

I get that you are super busy, I mean, you have to teach my class and then your other four or five courses, not to mention you have to keep up with your online classes while going to school to get your doctorate's degree! I would say make sure your family is okay, but you've said in class many times that you don't have one, so you can't use that excuse on me, but if someone near and dear to you is hurt or you are going through something, then I am so sorry, but you need to hear this.

From writing about one professor who showed blatant favoritism to now writing about you — the professor who has no regard for her students and their grades — I am just living the college life, aren't I?

I said in my many emails, ten emails to be exact, that I have tried to be understanding towards you and give you the benefit of the doubt, but screw that; these are my grades we're talking about here and I'm not gonna let them suffer at the hands of your negligence.

I get it, we all have lives and better things to do, but if I am paying thousands of dollars to attend a university to be taught by the best, then I expect the best. I expect professionalism. I expect you to do your job so I can do mine. I'm paying money to attend a class when I end up teaching myself the material. I'm paying you to be lazy, so the least you can do is respond to my email.

But no, it's completely okay. Ignore my emails, drink your coffee, and sit at your desk playing Solitaire; I have nothing better to do other than save my GPA because you won't respond to an email where I am begging you for help in an assignment.

I would at least take a simple, "Checking on this," but that would be asking too much of you. I guess you have to do what you have to do and I'll do what I gotta do.

Screw being the "nice" student — I just want you to respond to my emails so we can discuss things professionally and like grown-ups, but I can already see that's a one-sided conversation that I don't even think I should waste my time and energy on.

Best regards,

A very angry (yet compassionate) student

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
