After being in school for, well, pretty much my whole life, I’ve started to notice things about classes and the types of people in them. No matter what, there are always certain types of class mates, so let’s take a look at the different kinds.

1. The One Who Answers Everything

Not to be confused with the one who never stops talking, this particular person seems to be really hyped about the class subject matter, and without fail will respond to every question. They just really know what they’re talking about.

2. The One Who Never Participates

You can’t tell if they’re shy, aren’t listening, or just don’t care, but they are always there. Are they doing the work? Do they even know what’s happening? You’ll never know. I’m this type of person and even I don’t know.

3. The One Who Makes Inappropriate Comments

They never seem to test if the teacher/professor will approve of these comments, but you can be sure they will say something that makes everyone cringe. It is usually the person who thinks they’re hilarious and imagines they’re bros with everyone. Is this true? Who knows.

4. The One Who Never Stops Talking

Pretty self-explanatory, but they always seems to bring up some big topic right as class is about to go out, forcing everyone to stay there a bit longer. Sometimes their accidental stalling is nice, but other times you just really want them to shut up so you can get through the class.

5. The One You Casually Talk To Even Though You Don’t Know Their Name

We’ve all been there. You find yourself sitting near a stranger, wind up talking to them, and after a few weeks realize you don’t know their name, but it’s too late to ask because you’re already down the rabbit hole.

I obviously left out other types, like people you’re actually friends with, but enjoy this small sampling.
