4 Things Professors Do That Make You Angry
Odyssey

In college today, we have really good and really smart professors. We all go through the ones that really aren't good at the material. We all wish we could teach that certain material because we know that professor isn't explaining it well enough. But this is not what this article is about, but instead, this article is about what both the good ones and bad ones do what we hate. These things four will have you have you asking your professors why do they do this.

1. When they tell you to get textbooks, but you really don't need them:

When professors tell us we will need a book, and then we don't use it but one time the whole semester. I don't understand why they make us waste $300 dollars on a book we barely even use. If they would have told us we were barely using the book, I would have never bought the book. They don't understand that a book really does cost a arm and a leg. I think it would be very beneficial if they would tell us if we need it or if we are learning from the book or not. It would save us a whole lot of stress.

2. The professor who never posts notes online:

I really don't like when teacher doesn't post their notes online. I really feel like for some students, especially me, it's better to watch them talk and write stuff on the board to better understand. Plus I feel like they are really wanting the student to learn their way, but not their own ways, which isn't far at all.

3. The professor who doesn't allow note taking electronics in class:

I really think this one really depends on a person and how they learn. If the person is a great learner that way, let them do it. But if that one person gets distracted by them, don't take it away from the class altogether. In today's society, we learn with electronics in many different ways like: social media, google, etc. So why not let us use electronics??

4. The one who never grades your exams on time:

This is really one of the worst things that many professors suck at. I don't really know why they suck at it... they just do. I guess they feel that turning in their grades late will help a student. Which it will not because they wanna know if they need to drop the class or what they need to do to help their grades get better the next time.

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!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
