There are a lot of differences between high school and college.
Freedom, living on your own for the first time, the list goes on and on. But one of the major things that is different in that transition is your teachers.
You’re on your own now, baby! No one reminding you of the assignments you need to turn in, no one hassling you about incomplete work, and no one threatening to call your parents.
College professors are a whole different breed and if you don’t get in line with their attitude, you might be left behind…or at least very confused…
Let’s take a look at some funny posts about the difference between high school teachers and college professors.
1. Be thankful…
It didn’t really work out that way, did it?
high school teachers: be thankful we're so hard on you, college professors would fuck your ass up
college professors: hi guys, Sorry, I can't make it to class, I'm mourning my fish. It drowned. -sent from my iPhone— 🪬 Caleb 🪬 (@sethpuertoluna) February 6, 2018
2. You’re gonna get an earful.
No doubt about that.

3. A totally different story.
Oh, Ms. Johnson, give it a rest.
High school
(Teacher who barely got through school and managed to get a teaching degree): my name is Ms. Johnson and you will call me as suchCollege
(Professor who is a top individual in their field with multiple degrees, maybe a PHD): hey guys what's up my name's Matt— Jordan Rutledge (@JordanRutledge) February 8, 2018
4. Oh yes, they will!
It gets easier…in some ways.
Middle school: "They won't tolerate this in high school."
HS: "This won't work in college."

5. The professor is watching you.
There is no escape! Ever!

How’s that for laid back?

7. Speaking the truth.
They are free spirits, that’s for sure.
Why did high school teachers always make college professors sound so strict & scary when in reality they’re like, “What’s up, you can call me Andy, I illegally downloaded the text book if you need it & I also have a gambling problem.” Lmfaooo
