I found the BEST Twitter user EVER. @BibleStdntsSay‘s profile says this:
I teach Biblical Studies for an undisclosed university. These are actual statements from assignments turned in by my students. They’re…um..interesting 😉
I have a kid in college, so I understand the mentality (and the awesome thinking that happens at this age) all too well. The anonymous professor’s responses are even more hilarious than the things his students say. There was too much good stuff in this guy’s Twitter. I only chose the ones that made me genuinely LOL. Expect a Part II. Enjoy!
Dear Student,
The website http://t.co/2G71xCk2nk is not really considered an academically credible source.
