But seriously, this is the story of my life...
Sh*t Student Affairs Professionals Say
June 14, 2012 by francesva
If any meme experienced overkill this year, it was the “Sh*t People Say” videos. What started with an abundantly clever “Sh*t Girls Say” exploded into videos that explored what everybody (or nobody) says. The great thing about these videos is that they sparked conversation: “I definitely say that!” “I never say that!” “Do I say that?” One of my favorite iterations was “Sh*t Nobody Says,” which was completed by Tyler Stanton and Tripp Crosby (great comedians!).
The “Sh*t Student Affairs Professionals Say” contains so much of the jargon and buzzwords that we incorporate into our everyday work lives – yet spoken in such a monotone that it makes them much funnier.
- “I’m going to have a developmental conversation…with a barista.”
- “I started a blog. That pretty much makes me a social media expert.”
- “I assessed your work-life balance against your learning outcomes. You fail.”
- “Oh, your dad is going to call me? Unless your dad is Chuck Norris, I don’t really care.”
- “You’re not busy. You’re lazy. Those things are different.”
- “Let me get this straight: You did what I asked in the deadline I asked you to do it, and you expect to be recognized. Boy, you crazy!”
(I wish I could embed the videos, but clearly, I’m no social media expert.)
