Group Projects: The worst type of projects in the history of projects. Now, I understand the reason why teachers assigned them to students. In the professional world, some jobs require group work in order to perform a task. However, in my four years of being a high school student, I have come to dread seeing those words on my syllabus. Time and time again, I have experienced the same problems and ended up with the same results: frustration, exhaustion, and a lack of confidence in my fellow classmates.

1. There's always that one person who ends up doing all the work: You!

2. Trying to get all our members to show up to the meetings...

3. ...and after spending hours at the meeting, no work gets done

4. You want to physically strangle your members but you don't want to go to jail

5. Listening to crappy ideas

6. Deadline is approaching and your group still hasn't gotten anywhere, so you have t smack some sense into everyone

7. It can put a strain on friendships

8. Since there are different opinions, sometimes arguments can occur

9. It's both mentally and physically exhausting

10. There's always someone that tries to boss the whole group around

11. There's always that one person who goes MIA throughout the whole project and then magically appears at the end

12. By the time your group actually finishes the project, you look as if you went through a World War
