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.
