12 Annoying Things We Experience in a College Classroom
Jessica Mackay

We all have those classes in college that makes us say, "Why do I feel like I'm in high school?" For some reason even at the university level where we actually have to pay for our education which you'd think would make us care more, kids are still as immature and annoying as they were 5 years ago. Sometimes even the professors make us go a little crazy too. Whether it's the kids, the instructor, the assignments, or a combination of all three, every time I attend a college class, something, and it never fails, has me face-palming. Here's a list of things that make us roll our eyes continuously for the rest of the day and make us question what we did to have to sit through this 1 hour and thirty minutes of hell.

1. When the professor starts ranting about their life struggles.

I did not pay all this money to hear about all this personal stuff you've got going on and frankly, I don't give a damn. See what I did there? Ha!

2. When a kid starts arguing with the professor about irrelevant things.

Why are you talking back to them like a kid that thinks he's all Mr.Big Cheese and they're the parent.

3. When someone is smacking their gum or tapping their pencil super loudly.

Can you see the steam coming from my head? CAN YOU SEE IT?

4. The "I'm going to spend the entire class reading the syllabus to you" day.

I could have honestly just skipped class and read it myself in about five minutes.

5. When you ask the professor a question and they look at you like you're stupid.

There is a special place in hell for people like you.

6. When the weird smelly kid sits next to you and tries to start up conversation.

I'm not here to socialize and make friends. And especially not with you.

7. When that one obnoxious kid tries to be funny and makes a scene every class.

You're just embarrassing yourself now.

8. When the professor says that the first quiz is on Friday the first week of school.

There is really no caption necessary for this one

9. When you look at the clock and only 10 minutes has passed.

WHY

10. That one kid that answers every question and proceeds to ask even more questions.

Now I feel dumb and you my friend are just tooting your own horn.

11. When the class ends at 10:50 and it's 10:53 and you haven't been dismissed and your next class is at 11.

You realize my next class is on the opposite side of campus right?

12. When the professor makes a snide comment that was low-key directed at you.

You think you're slick don't you

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
