No matter your status of high schooler or collegiate, we are all students. Being a student means going to class. Whether you sit in a lecture hall of 300 students or a classroom of 25 students, someone is going to be annoying. Here is a list of the 11 most annoying things people do in class:

1. The antsy pants who finds it necessary to jiggle their leg

DUDE. I hate to be the barer of bad news, but (1) it’s not going to make the clock tick any faster; (2) you can move your leg as fast as you want but the only way you are going anywhere is to actually get up and walk out; and (3) your shoe lace is bouncing against your shoe which makes it that much more irritating.

2. The person who just can’t seem to manage chewing with their mouth close

For Pete’s sake, chew with your mouth closed! I, nor anyone else, wants to hear the saliva slosh around in your mouth. I’m putting down $20 that if the professor were to quit talking, he could hear you all the way at the front of the lecture hall. Do you know how far that is?

3. The heavy breathers of the world

Sorry, but you missed the Darth Vader auditions. Maybe some people can’t actually help this, I’m not really sure. Nevertheless, it’s still really annoying and I will passive-aggressively send glares in your direction until you stop.

4. The continuous, non-stop year-round sniffles

I get it, it’s cold out or there are seasonal allergies and your nose runs. But do yourself a favor and blow your nose. Your shirt sleeve will thank me later when it’s not covered in snot. Also, take care of your boogers now so you don’t have any awkward situations in the future like with a cute boy or something.

5. The constant clicking of a pen

It’s one thing to click a pen before you start writing. It’s a whole other thing to sit in class and continuously click a pen. Do you know that it annoys me so you do it purposely to bring you joy? Because that’s kind of brilliant, but also please stop.

6. The one person who has to climb over everyone to get a seat in the middle of the row

There is always that one person that shows up late who has a friend group that got seats in the center of the row. So, you pick up your backpack and stand up or adjust appropriately just so that one person can get through. But to make matters worse, they need leave class three or four times and every time they choose to exit on your end.

7. The not-so-quiet side conversations

Telling your bestie about your rad weekend or the test you just failed is of utmost importance. But let me fill you in on a little secret, you aren’t actually being that quiet and your laugh is really obnoxious. The people sitting in front, next to, and behind you would really appreciate it if you could just not talk and save the conversation for later because no one else really cares.

8. The one person who always has to have some sort of interaction with the professor

I’m talking about the one student who asks every question in the book, even ones the professor has already answered twice. Also, referring to the one kid who corrects the professor. The person at the front of the room is the one with the PhD. You are sitting next to me, which means that you are not a know it all. While we are on the topic, let’s include the person who comments on every little thing. Please shut up, I’m here to get in and get out. I most definitely did not pull out student loans to watch you have a dialogue with the professor.

9. The keyboard typing competition

This is NOT a competition. There is no prize for the person who breaks their keyboard trying to type lecture notes the fastest. People, you paid thousands of dollars for your laptop!! Give it some tender, loving, care.

10. The “I’m already on the second page of the test so suck it” student

Have you ever sat in a lecture hall or classroom that’s dead silent when suddenly there is a solid five seconds of obnoxious page flipping. That kid just wanted to let you know that he’s better than the rest of you.

11. The girl who flips her hair over her shoulder so that it conveniently covers your computer screen

Yeah, it’s fine. I didn’t really want to take notes or finish my homework that’s due in a half hour. But you should really think about a haircut soon or else your split ends are going to get the best of you. Here, let me just give you one for free.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
