In This Article:

We all have professors who forget to do what they said they would do but we still either like or dislike their class. Would it help if they changed their ways yes it would.


1. Put stuff on blackboard before the semester starts

Grated they probably won't do this but it is a wish we can hope for because it is that time of year to color coordinate planners and feel like we have some control of out lives.

2. Tell us class is canceled before everyone shows up

Although its better the be safe than sorry. But sometimes going to a class and then realizing that its cancelled is worse than anything..

3.Have test, quizes, and assignments graded on time

Nobody likes to be an Anxious Annie waiting to see if they made the grade they wanted or needed to take. Especially at finals time.

4. Put material on blackboard when they are able to.

Because face it everyone hates when a professor says they will put it in on black board that day but they never do. Happens a lot and it can get irritating.

5.Not make us do ice breakers on the first day.

I came here to learn not to tell everyone my life story. I'm not gonna see these people again nor remember half of their names after today.

6.Make us get the textbook if we are not gonna use it.

Not sure if this has happened to anyone but it's happened to me. Got a textbook and realized I didn't need it for class. Waste of money especially since it was a loose leaf. Always ask before you buy.

7. Hold us for longer than what the class is.

Not every professor has done this but a few get a little to carried away with class and end up going over time with talking.

8. Expect us to know everything from last year.

We will need a little refresher on things from last semester it is just a fact. We don't spend our time off college studying we use it to work, hang with friends, and spend time with family.

9. Stop being happy in the morning.

We are not morning people. We need some kind of energy in the morning form coffee, energy drinks, or something. You should not be professor go lucky in the morning. Where is your coffee or caffeine drink?

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
