<p>Those people (usually burnouts) who didn’t get in anywhere else. They don’t really know why they’re here, and while you’re trying to get an education, they’re just continuing high school because they don’t know what else to do… rofl</p>
<p>Oh, and the middle-class suburban white girl or bro who hasn’t ever been let out of his or her parents’ sight, so she or he isconstantly drinking/partying and thinks it’s the coolest thing in the world.</p>
<p>I don’t mind partying, I don’t mind drinking, but why must everybody think it’s SO. COOL. to be drunk on Monday night?</p>
<p>I am 57 ,and enjoy studying .I carry a rolling backpack because I have early arthritis in my shoulder . I have news for all you young folks -you too will get older someday ,and then people will make the same comments about you !!</p>
<p>"worse type of CC student is one who brings you down for actually trying to get an A. </p>
<p>sorry but you can stay here for X amount of years. im leaving in 1. PEACE"</p>
<p>YES! I am so sick of people looking at me strangely for sitting in the front and paying attention. People in my dorm hall look at me like I have six heads when I’m rewriting my math notes so I don’t get points taken off when my binder is graded. I’m not going to skip class to go out to eat with you, because that’s how I messed up my last school experience and you’re not that important. I’m sorry, but this is my second chance at college. I’m not about to f*** it up just because you don’t think I look cool enough. I’m 20, I’m over trying to look cool. I’m willing to look strange if it means I get further in life.</p>
<p>Yeah Im tired of the competitions of who studied least or who got the worst grade. I see them all the time like doing badly is some kind of weird cc badge of honor. They look at you funny if you show that you care about your grades. I shouldn’t be ashamed to say I got a hundred on my test because I studied really hard all week.</p>
<p>Read the first page, then skipped ahead to posting.</p>
<p>The people (usually the younger crowd - haven’t had problems with older students) who constantly complain about professors, make fun of them, blame them for low grades, think it’s outrageous if a foreign professor with an accent (but who speaks perfect English very intelligibly) is teaching them, and say terrible things about them to the rest of the students. Especially when said professor gives a lot of help, is a good teacher, and even lets the complaining students retake their Fs if they ask.</p>
<p>Also, because mine was in Florida… The rednecks with Confederate jack tattoos, shirts, bumper stickers, actual flags on flag poles on their pick-up truck, and all that.</p>
<p>Those who text and get on facebook constantly in class are very annoying. It isn’t high school, you don’t have to be there. Okay, need to send an emergency text once in a while, fine. BUT PAY ATTENTION.</p>
<p>1) The students who really have no idea what they are in college for, but are here for some reason. Getting an education is admirable, but these people seem to only be here because a) their parents made them go, or b) they are here free via financial aid, so they decided ‘why not?’ They really don’t give any signs of actually caring about the classes they are in, and seemingly are only there to chat with fellow students. They seemingly are happy with C’s, and have no idea what they are going to major in.
2) The students who literally smell like smoke or who knows what else. They come in late pretty much every class, and it smells like actual smoke within a three seat radius of where-ever they may sit.
3) The students who make fun of the class, with comments like “why am I even in this class?” Um, I don’t know about you, but this is a major-specific course. I need it for my major, and I would assume the same for you. However, no-one is forcing you to be here. Feel free to drop it.
4) The students who think they are too good to be here. You are here with the rest of us for this semester at least, so please be quiet about it. Don’t like it? Transfer next semester please.
5) The students who complain about the amount of work they have to do. I’m sure you do have lots of work to do, but so do most of us. I work and have very challenging classes as well. I really don’t want to hear you complain about that.
6) The students who are constantly on their phones. You may be able to hide it from the professor under the desk, but it distracts me. If you have a text that is that important that you have to respond, please just leave the room.
7) The students who walk incredibly slow or just randomly stop while walking in the hallways or outside. Walking is kind of like driving. Please keep up with the pace of traffic and don’t just stop out of the blue. </p>
<p>I know many of these are not just community college problems, but still.</p>
<p>How about those kids that always try to flirt with the professor?!?!</p>
<p>What about the obviously brainless slacker kid that wears a Berkeley hoodie?</p>
<p>You can’t even pass first year English. Who are you trying to fool?</p>
<p>Or the girl who thinks being cute is a free ticket to answers. She asks “can I work with you?” all innocently but doesn’t have a book or pencil and is just confused the whole time, hoping to copy your answers.</p>
<p>^ And she’ll get those answers, be she cute enough :P</p>
<p>^^ lol!!!</p>
<p>There’s a girl in my English class who talks about how much she hates it (intro English course, btw) every day. Every time our prof asks what a word means, she says “oh my god I have no idea,” like it’s so cute that she’s functionally illiterate. She gossips LOUDLY before every class, and there’s no way she gets higher than a C.</p>
<p>There’s a guy in another one of my classes who is older than the prof, and he hits on her constantly. He doesn’t understand that not everyone is in love with him and his too tight shirts. He asks questions that he knows the answer to, or questions that don’t even apply to him, just to get attention. UGH.</p>
<p>“the older person who brings the tape recorder and/or goes through 5 notebooks; has to write down every word the professor says.”</p>
<p>I’m this stereotype, but I’m young and not old. I never did learn how to take notes properly when I was in grade school, so I always took notes by writing down almost everything the professor says.</p>
<p>The girls who act like there still in HS(i know cc is hs pt 2) come to class sit all the way in the back like there popular and gossip the whole time, then got nerve to ask to teacher to repeat her self</p>
<p>more: the black girls with Louis vuitton bags but are in community college? if you get enough money to afford LV & gucci you shouldnt be in community college maybe you should be in a university somewhere or get your priorities straight</p>
<p>My least favorite people are the students in foreign language classes who inevitably ask (in the first week, when we’re learning to say ‘I’m studying this’ or ‘I have this class’), “How do I say, ‘I actually go to the Cal State down the street and I’m only taking this class because it’s full over there?’” Wow, you’re so cool. Not only do you pay 5x our tuition for the exact same classes, but you felt the need to announce it to the entire class. You are so superior to all of us.</p>
<p>@annikasorrensen, good point!</p>
<p>@ basedboy: what? There are many reasons why there are people who go to community college. Those girls you’re talking about may have been rejected from their university of choice, so they have no choice but to go to community college first. A former friend of mine from high school who’s basically rich was rejected from Cal State Fullerton (her dream college), so she had to go to my community college instead and build up enough credits in order to transfer. :|</p>
<p>The know-it-all young-adult student who really doesn’t know it all. I have this idiot who sits in front of me in Comparative Government. Gems that have come out of his mouth so far: </p>
<p>(after a discussing the Rwandan genocide) “Why are all these Africans <em>always</em> fighting each other? Aren’t they, like, all black?”</p>
<p>“So why don’t people just <em>leave</em> North Korea?”</p>
<p>Oh man, that guy sounds so awesome.</p>
