STORY: 'Vampire Diaries': 12 Top Moments From 'The Rager'

While Elena and Bonnie's visit to Whitmore College isn't exactly part of their post-graduation plans, their trip does serve a greater purpose. With Elena still adapting to her vampire desires (it's a marathon, not a sprint), in order for her to learn how to control her bloodlust it's decided Elena needs to go to a pro. What's more, Whitmore is also the college Bonnie's dear Grams taught at and the trio are about to meet her replacement: Professor Shane (guest star David Alpay).

Bonnie: "If I could spell you out of wanting blood I would, but I can't, so better you learn this now than in freshman orientation."

Elena: "Something tells me college isn't in my future any more."

Watch the scene below:

The Vampire Diaries airs 8 p.m. Thursdays on The CW.
