A new semester for my students and a new opportunity to get extra credit points for just reading the syllabus. Out of 20 students, how many got this? . . . . . . 1! One student!!! They must all be LeBron or Kobe fans (RIP Kobe!) #professorstruggles #readthesyllabus

It’s a #challenge to write and research when a 20+ pound #cat sits on your work ECU ECU HHP @slackbooks human kinetics #ProfessorStruggles

When you have card access to every room in the building except the one you are teaching in… #ProfessorStruggles

I have to read for school. Therefore, I'm struggling. For pleasure? I'd be on my second book before noon! #professorstruggles #BacktoSchool2022

Dr. Michelle Meyer Once again your willingness to be vulnerable and transparent about #ProfessorStruggles (despite your being super capable and successful) is so encouraging and validating to those who work around you. Thanks for this.

• I KNOW it’s Saturday but tomorrow is Sunday and then it’s back to teaching and ahhhhh I need a time turner!!! #professorstruggles • #mentalhealthishealth #teacherlife #needmoreweekend

Shutting myself in to work all weekend on to do list: read, prepare lectures, order books spring & summer 2020, grade, manage TAs, prepare announcements, email students who’ve gone MIA, write course Syllabi, work on Canvas sites.........#professorstruggles

I’m either enjoying sleep while I can get it or setting myself up for really rough mornings once classes start. I choose the former. Remember this when I am cursing myself and my alarm in two weeks. #lovemesomesleep #professorstruggles #schoolstartssoon

How can two days of sitting through orientation make a person this tired? #professorstruggles

My U does all online course evaluations. I haven’t looked at any of them for the last year, and I probably won’t. They are usually more discouraging than helpful. I do care about student feedback. When we start gathering it with intention, I’ll read it. #professorstruggles #she

note to self: next time, finish tomorrow's lectures BEFORE you drink a large mug of warm bourbon spiced apple cider! #ProfessorStruggles

I feel like the grim reaper when I explain to students that we have a group project in class. There are valid reasons for it, and I know it will enhance their learning, but the looks on their faces in class today... This is why I can’t look at ratemyprofessor. #professorstruggles

End of semester countdown typically means not making up the bed because I'm counting down the seconds until I can throw myself back in the bed at the end of the day #help #tired #onemoreweek #professorstruggles

TEDxRVA thank you for being real about the tasks needed to become/sustain/continue being a professor. #professorstruggles
