THAT PROFESSOR WHOSE COURSE WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET INTO.
Follow us for more nostalgic campus tales and insights.
Every one of us, whether currently navigating the hallowed halls or proudly carrying the alumni torch, remembers that professor. Not just a brilliant mind, but a campus legend. Their name whispered in hushed tones, a beacon of intellectual rigor or a quirky, profound genius. Their courses weren't just electives; they were mythical quests. You heard tales: "Their lectures were standing room only," or "They changed how I saw everything." They were the reason you even considered waking up for an 8 AM on a Monday.
The registration frenzy was a battlefield. Fingers flying across keyboards at the exact moment registration opened, only to be met with the dreaded "waitlist: 97." We tried everything – polite emails, pleading with department chairs, even desperate appeals to upperclassmen who miraculously secured a spot. Getting into their class wasn't just about credits; it was about gaining access to an exclusive intellectual experience, a badge of honor in itself. Most of us never made it past the digital gatekeepers.
Yet, even for those of us who never graced their lecture hall, their presence loomed large. Their ideas permeated dorm discussions, their books lined library shelves, their reputation was an indelible part of the institution’s fabric. They embodied the pinnacle of academic pursuit, a shared aspiration. That professor, whose course was perpetually out of reach, ironically left one of the most lasting impressions, shaping the very intellectual atmosphere we breathed. What was your "impossible to get into" class?
