Like Christmas Morning, But With Assigned Reading

Historical re-enactment of the first ever LitHum lecture

As dawn breaks over this first day of the semester, take a moment to revel in the ridiculous antics your professors will engage in just to get you to stay in (or drop) their class.

Bwog’s father never dressed up as a jolly old man in a red suit, but we still feel the excitement in a morning full of newness, so send your professor’s most hilarious, desperate, or heinous opening remarks to tips@bwog.com, or post them in the comments!
