10 Things That Annoy Every College Student

College is hard and can be very difficult sometimes. Eventually, we all get fed up and annoyed. Here are 10 things that annoy every college student:

1. Cumulative Exams

We all dread the end of semester exams. It's either the last chance to raise that grade to the next level (which, lets be honest never happens) or the knock your A- down to a B+. Cumulative semester exams are almost impossible to get A's on because it is simply too much information.

2. Registration

Registration day consists of waking up at 6 a.m just to not get into any of the classes you need. It's disappointing and annoying and no college student likes it.

3. Bad Teachers

It is a known fact that the professors you choose are what determine how the semester will go and the grade you'll receive. Unfortunately, more often than not, professors are out to ruin our lives.

4. Parking

Parking on or anywhere near a college campus is a pain. Students are an easy target for parking tickets and officers take full advantage.

5. Kids who don’t shut up in class

Don’t be the kid who never shuts up… nobody likes that kid.

6. Group projects

You would think group projects would be at their peak in middle school, but in reality we do more group projects than anyone.

7. Classes at 8am

We have all experienced the dreadful early morning classes. Waking up before 8:30 should never have to happen in my book. Unfortunately, it seems the class you desperately need is only available as early as possible.

8. When rate my professor lies

Ratemyprofessor.com is basically the bible for college students. It is the best way to figure out which professors are insanely hard or over the top and those who are not. Every now and then the ratings do not match with your feelings toward a professor and class.

9. Exams on the same day

Having two exams in the same week is rough, but when two exams fall on the same day…impossible.

10. EXPENSES

College is extremely expensive and schools make you pay for everything… even scantrons. As if we won't be in enough debt already by the time we graduate.

Eight A.M. classes should disappear along with bad professors. Registration should be later and things should cost less. That's what I think, but ask any student and I'd bet they would agree!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies.
