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

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
