College is a scary time. Halloween is a scary time. Thus, college during Halloween is the ultimate scary time! Here are some of the scariest phrases you might hear during your college career. (How many more times can I say “scary” in a sentence?)
1. “Your essay has to be single-spaced.”
What do you mean? Why does a professor think that this is a good idea?
2. “That homework was really difficult. Were you able to finish it?”
Uhmm… We had homework?
3. “Eduroam disconnected.”
This happens too often… I just want to watch my Netlfix… Uhm, I mean, do my research!
4. “45% of your grade will be this group assignment.”
That could be fun, right?
5. “Groups will be randomly assigned!”
I take that back. That will not be fun.
6. “Do you have any plans for next winter/summer/after graduation?”
I don’t even know what I am having for dinner, so I definitely do not know what I am doing with my life.
7. “Surprise quiz!”
Torture. Pure torture…
8. “Your exam will be Monday morning. Yes, I know that is the day after Homecoming weekend. I am sorry – that is just how the schedule works out.”
You couldn’t have just moved the exam to Friday? Now I have to study all weekend… At this point, I just admit defeat…
These were some of the scariest phrases I could think of. Can you think of any others?
