The List: Things professors expect you to have for the first day of class
September 1, 2016
- An eagerness to learn and an overall positive attitude toward getting up at the crack of dawn to listen to a lecture about something you may or may not be interested in.
- A fun fact that is both witty and intellectually stimulating. Bonus points if it reveals something about your deeply flawed character.
- Lilly Pulitzer planner (size may vary).
- A five-year plan that includes “and I’m taking this class because ____” (with the blank signifying that you’ve given your presence in the class more thought than just “it fits in my schedule”).
- A printed copy of the syllabus (with annotations if possible).
- An understanding that you will have to commit at least 12 hours a week to classwork just to get a C.
- A deep-seated sense of entitlement
- A medium iced coffee with caramel swirl from Dunkin’ Donuts
- Sunglasses on head and car keys in hand signifying to everyone that you have a car on campus
