The 10 Professors You'll Have In College

1. The professor that teaches at warp speed.

This professor has got a lot to teach and is always putting something on your plate. There is enough material for 3 hours worth of class shoved into a 50 minute period. Good luck trying to take notes on anything he says. Most of the time you'll be getting a hand cramp or end up with an illegible mess of notes.

2. The professor that always talks too quiet.

You'll learn this on day one, the day where almost the whole class shows up and your forced to sit in the back of the room. The teacher will be giving out important dates for the rest of the semester and you'll be so far away that you won't even know they are talking. Next class you'll sit at the front of the room, still struggling to hear anything the professor is saying.

3. The professor that assumes you know everything already.

When this professor asks a question the whole room goes silent. Nobody knows the answer, but no one wants to admit they don't know. This professor is usually extremely intelligent, but struggles trying to explain complicated topics to the class.

4. The professor that still uses an overhead projector.

Yep, Old School. Usually wearing some classic sweater vest, extra-high rise pants, and suspender combination. They handwrite all their notes on a blank slide and has never used PowerPoint in their life. This professor can be an oldie, but a goodie.

5. The professor that is near impossible to pass.

Good luck trying to pass this class, let alone get an 'A'. This class may be one of the hardest you will have throughout your whole college career, but you'll also learn more in it than in any of your other classes. This professor will most likely be coined as the one who ruined your GPA, but ten years down the line you'll be thanking them for how much important information you learned during the class.


6. The professor that always gives out life lessons.

This professor is out to change the world. They are doing their best to inspire students to be good people, make a change in the world or simply be happy. Regardless, this professor is always in a good mood and ready to help whenever possible.


7. The professor that always cracks jokes.

You're in the middle of the semester, stressed out of your mind. You're swamped with upcoming tests, essays, projects and research papers yet this is the one professor that always keeps things lighthearted. This professor gives you a break from your growing responsibilities and shows you that learning can be fun.

8. The professor that loves teaching

You'll know this professor from day one. They truly want you to learn and take away valuable information from the class over being worried about you completing all 17 papers and 4 exams by the end of this semester. Cherish this professor, as they will have a lot of compassion toward their students.

9. The professor that keeps you coming to class.

Engaging, relevant, and moving at a steady rate. The combination for a perfect college class. This professor has got it all down, along with one of the largest attendance rates around campus. Everyone seems to anonymously enjoy coming to this class, and the majority of the students pass with flying colors.

10. The professor that will always remember your name.

Now this doesn't make the professor any better at teaching, but it will help you to feel more comfortable around them and make you more likely to visit their office hours. In a class of 300 students, it makes you feel good that the teacher acknowledges you and remembers your name.

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.

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.
