Why are people like this?

The 12 Worst Types of Classmates

If you've ever been in a classroom for even five minutes, it becomes readily apparent all of the different types of people that you find in a class. The habits of your classmates become something you have to deal with for an entire semester or in some cases, a whole year. After talking about this topic with a couple of my friends, we compiled a list of the 12 worst types of classmates to ever exist.

1. The pen clicker.

Probably the most common, and possibly the most annoying, habit. Why is it necessary to click your pen that much when you could be quietly taking notes?

2. The drummer.

I love a good beat just as much as the next person but not when it is coming from the back of the room for an hour and a half.

3. The heavy breather.

While this doesn't bother me quite as much, it was one of the first things my friends mentioned and felt very passionately about. Fun fact: this is actually a literal phobia, called misophonia, which means "the hatred of sound".

4. That one person who just refuses to listen.

Professor: "Your paper is due Tuesday."

That one person: "Wait...when is the paper due?"

Every. Single. Time.

5. That one person who just can't properly cover up.

Crack kills, you know.

6. That one kid who always walks in late.

Please feel free to interrupt the lecture everyday by making an entrance twenty minutes after class started.

7. That one person who always says it is their last piece of gum when you can clearly see the full pack.

I personally don't chew gum, but this was another one of those things that got my friends up in arms.

8. That one person who randomly sits in your seat halfway through the semester.

It might not be assigned seating but that was my seat.

9. That one person who you've never seen in the class until the very last day.


I'm still convinced that these people just transfer in on the last day to throw us all off.

10. That one professor who just reads verbatim off the PowerPoint.

It isn't just the students who have annoying habits. Are you seriously putting me into thousands of dollars of debt to just read us the bulletin points?

11. That one person who still hasn't learned the concept of personal space.

There is literally not a single reason why you need to be touching me while asking what the homework was.

12. That one person who still hasn't learned the concept of hygiene.

For the love of God, please just put some deodorant on.

It was the second time this year after an historic geomagnetic storm in May 2024. Those Northern Lights were visible in Europe and North America, just like this latest rendition.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
