College is a new and exciting place for many people such as high school students moving on to higher education, transfer students from far away places, and many more. Unfortunately, we encounter a place that everyone dreads, a place of suffering, a place the inspires memes and nightmares alike. The college classroom... *cue scary music. Here is a good description of what kind of students you will see and how they cope with the stress associated with this crazy place:
1. The Sleeper:
The Sleeper. You saw them in high school. You will see them here in college as well. They will sleep through class and either ace or fail.
2. The Socializer:
The Socializer. Instead of paying attention to the lecture, this person will continue to socialize among their peers. Grades that they will receive will vary greatly. Odds are this person will become your friend very quickly.
3. The Over Achiever:
The Over Achiever. hey always have an A in the class. They don't seem to try. They set the curve overly high. They may be the reason why you got a B instead of an A in your class.
4. The Hangover Zombie:
The Hangover Zombie. You can smell alcohol on them. You saw them at last night's party. They are often confused with the Sleeper. They already plan on taking the class again next quarter. They will be your greatest asset when trying to get a drink.
5. The Smoker:
The Smoker. You can smell them from a mile away. You know they hit that blunt before class, because of the excessive amounts of perfume. They have eyes that are more red than cherries. They laugh and space out at the most random times. They ask the craziest questions. They also turn out to be some of the chillest people you will ever meet.
6. The Student Athlete:
The Student Athlete. You see them running early in the morning around the dorms. They always wear the latest workout gear to class and typically carry a blender bottle filled with a protein smoothie. You wonder where do they get the money to purchase all of this brand name gear.
7. The Party Animal:
The Party Animal. They bring life into the classroom. They have discounted backstage passes to Coachella and the hottest raves. You will get messed up if you party hard with them. Yet, they still manage to pass the class.
8. The Note Taker:
The Note Taker. You can hear the clacking of their keyboard consistently when the professor makes a point. They are your best friend when you are absent from class. They never get the best grade, but they get very good ones. They are dead silent during the lecture.
9. The Questioner:
The Questioner. No matter how many times the professor goes over some instructions, this person will always raise a hand to ask a question. Sometimes they are good questions, but most of the time they are terrible questions. They will also sometimes keep the class in for extra time and remind the professor of the homework you didn't do.
10. The Average:
The Average. A person who has no face. For all you know, it could be you. Not ridiculously smart, but not completely stupid either, this person fades into the background as just another part of the class. They earn average grades and live relatively normal lives. Most students will fall under this category.
