Chick Asks Professor To Postpone Finals, He Denies Request With Great One-Word Response

Harrison Lee11 years ago

Finals season can be tough. Between juggling smashing ass and getting belligerent, you have to find time to study. It’s an added stress that can cause your mind to go crazy. In fact, some girl at Oberlin College took it upon herself to email her statistics professor in hopes of getting the final postponed for those who were traumatized by the recent events in Ferguson and New York. It didn’t take long for the professor to respond:

DENIED! Professor Raney just showed her–not in his house. Della thought she was doing something good as she struggled to learn what Bernoulli’s inequality is. She probably texted all her friends saying she was trying to get the final postponed when BAM, she got blindsided a minute later by Professor Raney with one simple word that cut to the core so beautifully.

He could have gone so many different routes with his response. Instead, he went with a swift, solitary “no.” So simple yet so productive. Get Professor Raney a medal, a beer, or something. He earned it. Well done, sir. Well done indeed..
