Okay, let’s be honest here. We all have one or two professors who think their class is the only thing that should take priority in our lives. What they fail to realize is that their 3-credit class isn’t the only thing we’re doing with our lives. Hello! It isn’t like we’re up to our necks in essays, midterm reviews, study sessions and club meetings or anything. Oh, and don’t forget that our social life is drowning right now because we have to stay at home and read the 107 pages that you assigned today at noon to be done by tomorrow morning.
Alright, so maybe we should cut our professors a little bit of slack. They’re here, at this university, to lecture about the one thing in life that gets them out of bed every day. We get it. Don’t get us wrong, women fighting in the French Resistance is a badass topic, and we love that our professors get excited about what they’re teaching; But sorry, there is no way we have time to sit down and watch a 2.5-hour movie about it. We have other things to do and other classes that we’re taking along with yours.
College is great, all in all; but when it comes to those professors who have their blinders on 24/7, we have to take a step back and realize that we can’t actually do all of the assigned homework. That’s okay, though. We have to prioritize, and if that’s what gets us through until the end of the semester and helps us pass our classes with flying colors, then that’s what we’re going to have to do!
Apologies to all the professors out there, we do love your classes (well for the most part). Yet, there’s no way to get everything we’ve been assigned done. But, we will try our best— a Her Campus girl’s honor!
