For the past two weeks now I spend my days, and some nights, in Community College. I mean it isn't as terrible as I built it up to be, but it for sure isn't a big package of joy wrapped in ribbons with a scent of happiness either. There are a variety of humans who attend these Community Colleges. The most intriguing to me are the ones who walk the hallways. Now I like putting things into categories, so I am going to sort these college students into four categories.
1. Face down to the ground type.
Now these people are the type that would run into a wall, or walk off the Grand Canyon (becoming a YouTube sensation) or collide head on into me. These are the ones who walk into the wrong classroom but have no idea because they don't lift their eyes to the things above the ground till they are seated. *Student takes out bio 101 book, *Other students stare in disbelief, *Teacher says "Today we are going to review for your Math 151 final." *Whaa?? Yeah Whoops! Tip for all of you who stare downward, Stop it.
2. Texting in the dag-on hallway type.
These folks are very similar to the the first group of students. Only difference is that they are more annoying. They to have the chance of walking into the wrong classroom, except they often find out before they sit down and immediately after realizing their mistake they tweet/text/FBstatus about it so everyone will know for a fact that they walked into the wrong class. (Not gonna lie, but I would tweet it too) Also due to the fact that their eyes are not focused on the path ahead, everyone in their way gets trampled upon. *Girls tramples you, *You stare at her for a minute then the girl shows you her phone, *It's a text saying- OMG I AM SO SORRY!! *... Tip: Stand still while you text please, cause I really don't want to play 'Dodge the Texting Idiot in the Hallway' before every single class.
3. The (faux) couples....
I would place myself in this category. As you all know there are many people walking the halls of colleges, going to class and leaving from class. Some of the most awkward moments happen in these hallways. Let me set the stage for you. You just opened the doors to the college and are now entering. Suddenly you notice a slow moving man up ahead. So you slow your pace in hopes of avoiding the awkward side-by-side walk with a stranger. Then you realize this guy is a walking snail, so you speed your steps and attempt to pass him. Just as you speed past, he picks up his pace. And now you are walking side-by-side with someone who you don't really care to walk side-by-side with. Awesome.
4. Rabbits and the Turtles.
All right, now seriously why do College Student insist on power walking to class. This is not a gym people! OK, you're walking down the hallway minding your own business, then out of no where comes this girl practically running through the hallway to get to class! You tried to move out of her way but her high speeds were just too fast and BAM! You both are on the ground moaning. But before you could even get up, she shoots up like a rocket and bolts into class. Now you are left there on the floor while people walk by and take pictures and point. Then the Turtle walkers. These guys get to school like an hour early, and they spend that hour meandering in the hallways. Is that their me time? Can they go sit under a tree or something instead of hobbling around in the hallway? Let's say after you just got pummeled by the marathon runner you are now five minutes late to your class. Quickly you jump up and begin to walk to class (at normal speeds, cause you are not a speed walker!) As soon as the door to your class in sight...*brakes screech* You are now behind a turtle walker, but not just one, oh no never just one, it's a whole group of them. Every once in a while they will stop and chat. They are like a group of Eeyores that invaded the school!
There are billions more 'categories' but then no one would read it, and my fingers my start to bleed. ew.
