10 Awkward Encounters You May Have Had In Lecture Halls

At most colleges, students often have to take general classes in a very different setting than what they are used to, giant lecture halls. In classes of 100 plus students, it seems pretty easy to blend in, but often, many types of awkward encounters can occur.


1. Opening your laptop and having your music blast.

There is nothing more embarrassing than when your previous night's Soundcloud interrupts your professor's engaging lecture about chemistry.

2. Having your professor call you out for texting or talking.

Because the last thing you wanted was 200 heads turning and looking at you right now.

3. When you sit next to someone who is constantly staring at your screen and looking at what you're doing.

It's creepy.

4. When you try to eat or drink something but it is so loud and people keep staring.

5. When you're sick but go to class anyway.

No one likes the kid who can't stop sneezing or coughing in lecture.

6. When someone you don't know keeps asking you millions of questions in the middle of class.

Please stop.

7. When someone you don't want to see happens to be in your class.

Like the boy, you may have made out with last Thursday.

8. When you have to bother a complete stranger for a pencil or pen because you forgot one.

Sorry to be that annoying person.

9. When you're late and walk through the front doors of the class.

And have to awkwardly find a seat.

10. When you try to leave class early and the professor calls you out.

Always embarrassing.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
