The 20 Worst People You'll Meet In Your Lecture

College introduces you to a wide variety of people. The general rule of thumb is that the larger your lecture, the more variety you get. You're bound to meet interesting people that will make you wonder how they got this far in life.

1. The Arguer

I want to know why your undergrad self thinks that you're smarter than your professor with a PhD in the field you are taking the class in.

2. The Person Who Doesn't Cover Their Mouth

IT IS FLU SEASON AND YOU ARE DISGUSTING.

3. The Commenter

"Uh huh," "yeah," "OHHHH." This is an hour long class of just hearing our professor lecturing and you commenting on everything is not making this go by faster.

4. The Person Who Takes Your Seat

The only constant thing in my life is my lecture seat. Please don't take this away from.

5. The Person Who Approaches the Person Who Took Their Seat

It's one thing to bottle up whatever you're feeling about a chair, but actually approaching someone is messed up. It's not that deep.

6. The Person Who Just Sits There

I don't know why this person annoys me. There's just something about someone not taking notes, on their laptop, on their phone, or talking but sitting there doing nothing that's off.

7. The Person Eating Noisy Food

Granola bars? Cool. Muffins? Fantastic. Berries? Fine. Carrots, chips, pretzels? No.

8. The Person with Smelly Food

Garlic pasta is great. I'm a fan. Not in enclosed spaces.

9. The Person Who Doesn't Shower

We're all busy. I get it. I really do. But takes 10 minutes out of your day, preferably everyday or every other day, to be a person.

10. The Tall Person Who Sits in the Front and Now I Can't See

You can stop sitting front and center but I can't help being the size of a middle schooler.

11. The Creepshotter

Yeah there are weird kids in every lecture. But you're not slick. We can all see you. You're now the weird kid. You played yourself.

12. "I Don't Have a Pen, Paper, or My Laptop"

If you're in college, I'm going to make a wild assumption you've probably needed school supplies for at least fifteen years now.

13. The Person Who Messages Everyone in the Class About Self-Promotion

"Hey guys, I found this great new resource and..." Please stop.

14. The Person Who Shoots You Down When You Ask for Notes

"Maybe you should've been in class." MAYBE THE FLU SHOULDN'T EXIST AND THEN I WOULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN SICK BUT WE CAN'T ALL GET WHAT WE WANT, EMMA.

15. The Person Who Refuses to Use a Tissue

No one wants to hear you sniffle. God, you make me so angry.

16. The Person Who Doesn't Care What Everyone Can See on Their Laptop

One of my classes required us to sign up for teams on a Google Doc when most of us didn't know each other. This guy in the front row proceeded to Facebook stalk everyone in the class. We could all see.

17. The Person Who Constantly Complains About Taking GenEds

If I can sit through this class on the art history of ancient Mesoamerica, so can you.

18. The Person Who Doesn't Pay Attention and then Asks the Professor 382 Questions

"PROFESSOR, PROFESSOR, PROFESSOR"

19. The Person Chewing Gum with Their Mouth Open

If you're old enough to go to college, you're old enough to behave like a civilized member of society.

20. The Person Who Uses The Odyssey as a Platform to Complain

No one cares. The absolute worst type of person. Disgusts me.

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.
