11 Annoying People You Encounter In College

College. A place where you'll learn from the best, live by your own rules and encounter a variety of different people. Almost like a zoo, there are different personalities and behaviors separating one group of animals from another. There are some personalities that are a little more pleasant than others, but nonetheless, the small things people do can really get on your nerves. Sometimes you'll get the nice stranger who holds the door for you and sometimes you'll get the door slammed in your face.

This leads me to question the idea of manners or even chivalry. Are you confused with what is and is not socially acceptable? I've compiled a list of the 11 annoying people you'll encounter in college. Maybe I'm just irritable, but chances are you can relate to at least some of these.

1. The ones who show up late to class...every day.

It's totally understandable that things get in the way sometimes, but for the most part, it's not that difficult to make it to class on time everyday. Set an alarm, or maybe five if you have to. Not only will this give your professor a better impression of you, you'll be more prepared and possibly more successful in the class.

2. The chewers.

I'm always down for a piece of Juicy Fruit to get me through the day, and I'm sure everyone loves to rip a piece out during class, but there are a few of us with misophonia. What is that exactly? The unbearable annoyance of loud chewing. The next time you want to go smack your gum, please think of others' ears.

3. The loud typists.


There is nothing more frustrating when you're trying to study and are disrupted by the pounding of a keyboard next to you. What did the keyboard ever do to you? Please calm down...please.

4. The personal space invaders.

Nothing better than sitting in a huge lecture hall or classroom, with plenty of empty seats and having someone right next to you. Of all the empty and open seats, why choose the one 12 inches from me?

5. The stupid question askers.

Sure there's that saying, "There's no such thing as a stupid question," but that is FALSE. For the love of pizza, if the professor has just gone over it, please don't repeat it in the form of a question. Just pay attention for the benefit of your classmates suffering in the hour and 15-minute lecture.

6. The sleeper.

Need I say anything more?

7. The unfiltered, useless commenter.

Ah yes, a lecture about the Periodic Table of Elements, and your professor is trying to explain the alkali metals and what their names are. Oh! What a coincidence! The person next to you dressed up as an element for a date party one time and it's so important that teacher has to know.

8. THAT couple.

Listen: it’s college. Tuition is way too expensive to be marked absent to class due to folks fondling and sharing saliva in front of where I need to be

9. The snot-sniffer.

Yes I understand it's cold season but please, grab a tissue for that issue.

10. The pen clicker.

What did that pen ever do to you?


11. The slow walkers.

And the worst of all....the slow walkers. Nothing better than traffic on the sidewalk. Just walk. We all have places to go. Work those legs.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

Sorority
Rebekah Lee

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
