The 8 People You Get Stuck With For A Group Project

We have all had the misfortune of being assigned to a group project, so we all know the struggle. Whether you are in a group full of slackers or a group of people who take the project way too seriously, we can all agree that group projects SUCK (unless you are the jerk that lets your group pull all of your weight). There are many different elements that contribute to the awfulness of the god forsaken group projects. And none of them are positive.

1. The Dictators

We know when the due date is, please quit reminding us.

2. The Slackers

We all know these ones all too well. They are the ones who never offer to do a single thing and get zeros on all peer reviews.

3. The Procrastinators

It doesn't matter how big or how small the task, it can wait until the night before it is due.

4. The Selective Hearer

Even though the professor says the due date 15 times over, this guy still has to ask when it is.

5. The Clown

You know, the one who can't take anything seriously. It is all fun and games until the joke is that the deadline is a day away and your group hasn't even got a title down.

6. The Ditz

... Does this one even need an explanation? They are the ones who barely know what class they are in let alone the concepts of this project.

7. The Silent Genius

They are the ones you know get all A's, but for some reason they never speak up. When you finally ask them what they think, they lay out a perfect format and you can't help but wonder where that input was a week ago.

8. The Complainer

Whether they are mad about the due date or the fact that they spilled their coffee earlier, you will get an earful. They can't not express their complaints to anyone forces to listen, whether it pertains to you or not.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed. You feel like you will have never-ending classwork to catch up on if you miss class, so you end up going sick and then it just takes longer to get better. Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
