Zoe Sottile is Bwog’s internal editor and had a crush on Danny Phantom growing up.
We’ve all been there. You’re feeling good about yourself; you’re feeling academic. You decide to ~reach out~ to your professor for some help. Maybe it’s to schedule an appointment outside of office hours, or to beg for a better grade, or to ask for a letter of recommendation. In any event, you’re probably not expecting them to treat you like the senior you met at Mel’s last weekend and ignore your painstakingly written email. Boo!
If you’ve found yourself in this situation, Bwog has some advice for you. Here are our best tips for dealing with a phantom professor:
- Slide into their DMs.
- Ghost them back! Drop out of class. Drop out of school, even! You have to play hard to get.
- Like the Tinder guy who keeps double-texting, keep emailing until they respond. Die writing an email.
- Use your pen to click out your burning question in Morse code during class.
- Hire a deep web hitman to scope them out.
- Catfish them! Get close enough to them that you can blackmail them with their own secrets until they respond.
- Alternately, start courting their children. Get an invite to family dinner. Have an opportunity to ask your question in person.
- Finally: actually go to office hours. Yikes! As if.

@prof Better yet, if you’re thinking of emailing to beg for a better grade, just – don’t.
