Campus Crack-Ups.

I know no matter where you go, no matter what class you are taking. The same things and the same types of people will be found at any university, college, community college, high school, etc.

- Those individuals who walk slower than you. And then you have to somehow politely speed by them, without looking like a jerk.
-When they are walking slow and you cannot pass them, due to no extra space on the sidewalk. So you walk creepily close behind them because it's impossible to walk any slower.
-Those giggler, gabby girls in class. Always talking and snacking, possibly drawing pictures. I love those girls, possibly because I have fit this description one too many times.
- That awkward kid who walks into class with his headphone turned up too loud, and you find that he really likes Miley Cyrus's new song "We Can't Stop" (is that what it's called? Yes I do believe so). ( This actually happened today to an exchange student and he literally had no idea Miley Cyrus was blasting throughout the classroom, I wanted to laugh so loud)
-The kids on their cellphone so concentrated that they don't even see you, I mean hello I'm not into running into others, so let's not text and walk.
- That kid that will talk and ask questions every class period, and you wonder where all the confidence comes from.
-The older individual that will always take better more organized notes than you do. And without a doubt will ace this class. I swear there's one in every class.
- The class eater, it will either smell bad, be loud. But there's always one, and it's usually me.
- The kid on the first day who asks if this is the right class. Hilarious how we always doubt that it's the right classroom when we've checked duckweb a thousand times already so we don't end up in the wrong class. Yet someone always asks.
- The kid that smells like a mixture of vinegar and mold that smells so bad you start thinking it must be you because it seems so strong and so close. So you sniff your clothing "discretely" throughout class.
-That kid you swear you have every class this term with and when you finally figure out that yes that is the same person. You wonder if they recognize you and who's going to get the better grades in the classes.
- That moment when you realize your 400 level classes couldn't be any smaller and then think back on the 100 level 500 student classes and miss them like you missed food when that one time you tried to do the juicer diet for a week.
- That one kid who wears headphones throughout class and is sure that they cannot focus without them.
- That one kid who you watch fall asleep in class and as they are slowly trying to keep awake you are dying at the sight of their super exhausted face. This is me on a daily basis.
- That one girl you see walking who tried to look cute but realized today was another 46 degree weather day and a skirt should have been a no go, but she refused. This was my school attire till I realized, no thanks.
- Those days where you endlessly walk around campus in circles just trying to find one table to study at.
- The professors with chalk on their behinds and no student bothers to ever say a word. I always wonder how pissed they are when they finally get home and realize how long they've walked around with chalk butt.
- The professors with their flies down.
- The professor who loves to tell you about their wife, life, children.
- Any other school cliche you can think of.

Honestly I love just to sit and watch everyone, I love human beings so complex, so simplistic. I just find it so fascinating.
