12 Annoying Things We Experience in a College Classroom
Jessica Mackay

We all have those classes in college that makes us say, "Why do I feel like I'm in high school?" For some reason even at the university level where we actually have to pay for our education which you'd think would make us care more, kids are still as immature and annoying as they were 5 years ago. Sometimes even the professors make us go a little crazy too. Whether it's the kids, the instructor, the assignments, or a combination of all three, every time I attend a college class, something, and it never fails, has me face-palming. Here's a list of things that make us roll our eyes continuously for the rest of the day and make us question what we did to have to sit through this 1 hour and thirty minutes of hell.

1. When the professor starts ranting about their life struggles.

I did not pay all this money to hear about all this personal stuff you've got going on and frankly, I don't give a damn. See what I did there? Ha!

2. When a kid starts arguing with the professor about irrelevant things.

Why are you talking back to them like a kid that thinks he's all Mr.Big Cheese and they're the parent.

3. When someone is smacking their gum or tapping their pencil super loudly.

Can you see the steam coming from my head? CAN YOU SEE IT?

4. The "I'm going to spend the entire class reading the syllabus to you" day.

I could have honestly just skipped class and read it myself in about five minutes.

5. When you ask the professor a question and they look at you like you're stupid.

There is a special place in hell for people like you.

6. When the weird smelly kid sits next to you and tries to start up conversation.

I'm not here to socialize and make friends. And especially not with you.

7. When that one obnoxious kid tries to be funny and makes a scene every class.

You're just embarrassing yourself now.

8. When the professor says that the first quiz is on Friday the first week of school.

There is really no caption necessary for this one

9. When you look at the clock and only 10 minutes has passed.

WHY

10. That one kid that answers every question and proceeds to ask even more questions.

Now I feel dumb and you my friend are just tooting your own horn.

11. When the class ends at 10:50 and it's 10:53 and you haven't been dismissed and your next class is at 11.

You realize my next class is on the opposite side of campus right?

12. When the professor makes a snide comment that was low-key directed at you.

You think you're slick don't you

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?

You are commonly asked what's wrong, when nothing is. What people don't know is that is just your facial expression. Here are some things they wish you knew.
