The 12 Worst Types of Classmates

If you've ever been in a classroom for even five minutes, it becomes readily apparent all of the different types of people that you find in a class. The habits of your classmates become something you have to deal with for an entire semester or in some cases, a whole year. After talking about this topic with a couple of my friends, we compiled a list of the 12 worst types of classmates to ever exist.

1. The pen clicker.

Probably the most common, and possibly the most annoying, habit. Why is it necessary to click your pen that much when you could be quietly taking notes?

2. The drummer.

I love a good beat just as much as the next person but not when it is coming from the back of the room for an hour and a half.

3. The heavy breather.

While this doesn't bother me quite as much, it was one of the first things my friends mentioned and felt very passionately about. Fun fact: this is actually a literal phobia, called misophonia, which means "the hatred of sound".

4. That one person who just refuses to listen.

Professor: "Your paper is due Tuesday."

That one person: "Wait...when is the paper due?"

Every. Single. Time.

5. That one person who just can't properly cover up.

Crack kills, you know.

6. That one kid who always walks in late.

Please feel free to interrupt the lecture everyday by making an entrance twenty minutes after class started.

7. That one person who always says it is their last piece of gum when you can clearly see the full pack.

I personally don't chew gum, but this was another one of those things that got my friends up in arms.

8. That one person who randomly sits in your seat halfway through the semester.

It might not be assigned seating but that was my seat.

9. That one person who you've never seen in the class until the very last day.


I'm still convinced that these people just transfer in on the last day to throw us all off.

10. That one professor who just reads verbatim off the PowerPoint.

It isn't just the students who have annoying habits. Are you seriously putting me into thousands of dollars of debt to just read us the bulletin points?

11. That one person who still hasn't learned the concept of personal space.

There is literally not a single reason why you need to be touching me while asking what the homework was.

12. That one person who still hasn't learned the concept of hygiene.

For the love of God, please just put some deodorant on.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

19 Lessons I'll Never Forget from Growing Up In a Small Town

There have been many lessons learned.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
