1. That person that only signed up because they had to.
This is the person that is either (at worst) only in college because their parents made them and (at best) only in this class because it is their senior year and they haven't done it yet. Either way: he or she does NOT want to be sitting through this lecture for the semester.
2. The person that only shows up when assignments are due.

3. The person who is always late to class, but always seems to have had time to stop at Starbucks before being late.
Walk into class 5 minutes late and make a scene: no problem. I've got my grande pumpkin spice so it's all good.
4. The one *VERY* opinionated person who knows more than the professor.

So while you're regretting sitting listening to him or her speak - be thankful that you don't have to.
5. The person who always has to answer the question, but is always wrong.

6. The person who headphones in and playing the no-WIFI dinosaur game.

7. The person who gets to class extremely early, just so that he or she can get his or her unassigned assigned seat.

God forbid anyone sits in it. And every classroom has that one student who, to stave off seat thieves, will arrive 10+ minutes early to sit in the (un)assigned spot.
8. The person you've had so many classes with that you should be best friends and study-buddies, but in reality, you don't know his or her name.

9. The person who only seems to own clothing with the college mascot on it.

Did you get rid of your entire wardrobe? Do you sleep in college spirit wear too? So many questions, especially when the person is not an athlete and you realized they chose to pay for all of that. And college spirit gear is not cheap.
10. The person who tries to distract the professor from teaching by asking about the professor's kids.
