9 Things We Wished College Professors Would Do.

What they don't do is more annoying than anything

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?

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
