...I Tried To Be The Boss In Class Once...
Anonymous Sheepish Whisperer #889 · General
So this one time in college... I tried to take over a class. Yeah, you heard me right. My professor was out sick that day and the substitute didn't know what they were doing at all. The lecture notes made no sense and we weren't getting anywhere. So I just sort of... took charge. I started explaining stuff myself, making sure everyone understood, organizing group activities... It felt weirdly empowering at first, like being in control and actually helping my classmates learn something. But then the professor came back two days later and I think they noticed something was off... They kinda gave me this look, you know? Like, 'what did you do to my class?' And yeah, it wasn't exactly a smooth transition back after that. Everyone still seemed to appreciate the help though... but now I'm always looking over my shoulder when they're around. Was totally worth it for the brief feeling of being in charge and making something happen, even if it's just in one class...
