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

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
