The 10 Worst People You See On Campus

You either know one or you are one, which is it?

The 10 Worst People You See On Campus

By now, we are all acclimating after returning from break, and however reluctant, we are back in the swing of things. As if it's not bad enough that we have to go back and adjust our sleep schedule to accompany our new school schedule, we also have to adjust to the new people we'll surely have in our classes or run into on campus. While they vary by annoyance and level of intensity, these people can be clearly defined into 10 categories.

1. The Oversharer

You will know this person immediately. They will be all too eager to share every aspect of their lives to the class and will use this time as their own personal therapy session. Because if you can't talk about how your mother doesn't love you in Pre-Calc, when can you?

2. The Invader of Personal Space

Are you kidding me? We're in a lecture hall with at least 70 other seats and you had to choose the one right next to me. Is personal space not a factor of consideration for you?

3. The Class Interrupter

Come on dude, you knew what time this class started when you registered for it. I'm not saying that we aren't all late from time to time but you're late every day.Get it together.

4. The Awkward Door Holder

I want it to be known that I do appreciate the effort of you holding the door open for me. What I don't appreciate is that you saw me five yards away, still held the door, and now I have to run to grab the door for you.

5. The Note Beggar


I understand, I truly do. Sometimes you're sick and you have to miss class, but understand that sending a mass email to the whole class begging for notes for the past two weeks will earn little sympathy, especially if the professor posts notes online. I take great notes and you're not getting those for free.

6. The Seat Bandit

It's true, there are no assigned seats in college, but if you sit in the seat that I've been sitting in for the past five weeks, MY seat, there will be hell to pay. It's the unwritten Hammurabi's Code of college, I don't make the rules.

7. The Ninja

These are the people you only see on test days and other very rare questions. You have no idea who they are and often find yourself thinking, who are they and how did they get in here?

8. The Mean Mugger

Trust me, I totally understand looking pissed off as you walk across campus but when someone smiles at you, who doesn't smile back? It's just common courtesy. If it were possible I'd take my smile back because you don't deserve it.

9. The Slow Walker


Seriously? You're killing me. If you are walking down the stairs and you find it necessary to check your phone the entire time, holding up everyone behind you, just take the elevator. I only get 15 minutes to get down three flights of stairs and to the other side of campus and because of you, I now only have 10.

10. The Recruiter

I don't care if it's for your club, church, sorority, fraternity, business or any other group, if you give me a flyer I'm throwing it away. This probably stems from an innate inability to say no, but I really just want to get to class, I don't want to talk.

These people are probably well intended, but you know what they say about the road to hell. We've all experienced them before, did you think you were the only one?

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
