7 Different Types of Students You Will See in Class

Welcome back to school wildcats!! It's the start of the spring semester and there is no doubt in my mind that you all have already forgotten what going to class is actually like. It is back to the routine of stressful papers, tests and trying to fit your social life into it all. But no worries you will get through these weeks and be reminded how you have accomplished all of the semesters in your past educational experience. To help remind you what you have been missing out over Winter Break here is a little list of the kids you are bound to see your lectures.


1. The Teacher's Pet

The kid who is is constantly answering questions, raising their hand to relay interesting thoughts and being the first to turn in their assignment on D2L. This kid is the one you hate the most but at the same time envy because this is the kind of kid who will have no struggle at all with getting that A.

2. The Sleeper

You may hear snoring from this kind of student. They sleep through all of the material and you will often wonder why they even took the time to walk to class.

3. The Cougher

This student is the one who came to class even though they should be in bed with a bowl of chicken noodle soup and a handful of Advil. They interrupt the professor's sentences every five words with a loudest of hacking and coughing. Absolutely disgusting.

4. The Friends

This student is one that comes in sets of two. They sit together wherever there are two seats open and don't shut up throughout the lecture. They're way too loud and always have a partner when it comes to assignments. You wish you had a buddy in every class you took when you look over at them.

5. The Nonexistent

You may see this student on the first day of school, but no more after that. They believe they can get by without being in attendance and hey, sometimes they can.

6. Mr. Full of Opinions

This student is the most noticeable in class. He argues with the teacher and tries to bring up philosophical questions. This student believes they are too good for the class and should really just have their degree already. But hey, don't we all feel like this sometimes?

7. The Dummy

The dummy is the opposite of student type number six. They close their eyes to avoid being called on and shrink down in their seat. They never know what's going on, when things are due, or if there is a test that day.


So yes I know you have seen all of these students around and maybe YOU are one of these types. And if you think you're not, odds are someone else notices you as one.

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.
