If you have ever sat in a lecture hall, you know that sometimes you will sit next to some very interesting people. Here are some that many of you may come across in your college careers.

1. The frat star

Everyone has sat next to one boy or another who is wearing a vineyard vines shirt, backward hat, and only comes to class carrying a pencil and a giant water bottle. These are the guys that always ask what the professor is saying and if they can copy off of you during the tests. You are better than that!

2. The gamer

This is the kid that is hardcore gaming during class. Whether it be on their phone or their laptop, they are very easily spotted by the aggressive tapping of the screen and the headphones hidden in their hoodies.

3. The Soundcloud rapper

What would a college lecture be without someone trying to become a famous rapper? This kid rolls up to class 20 minutes late with beats headphones on and tries to promote himself to the professor. "Go check out @swaggmoney7 on SoundCloud for a good time." Never sit next to this kid if you can avoid it or else you will get brought into downloading their entire mixtape.

4. The opinionated one

This person is the one who always has their hand raised and ready to share. Now, this could work for or against you, because if this student likes to argue with the professor, it will draw attention to you and you could no longer hide behind the computer screen anymore. That, is the end for ya.

5. The aggressive laptop texter

I know we are all guilty of this, but sometimes it just is past the point of being ok. There is nothing worse than the person next to you typing away to their bff about what some guy did at the party last night in the middle of a lecture. Some of us actually want to pay attention people! Do it on your phone under the desk like everyone else!

6. The underprepared one

Ah, those youths. The ones who always ask to borrow a pencil. never do their homework, and have never once taken notes. We are all youths. This is us.

7. Finally, there is the best friend

If you are lucky enough to have a class with one of your best friends, take advantage of that! College is such a crazy time that sometimes going to class may be the only time you get to hang out, so make the most of it together.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
