20 Reasons Why College Lectures Are A Complete Joke

Lectures….. Ugh. We all take them, and all hate them! It’s that one class that drags…… ALL THE TIME. You feel like you’ve been sitting in there rotting away for months. You always find yourself getting so distracted and never paying attention. Not just because everything is repeated in class or the book, there is more. So let me just tell you some reasons why lectures are a complete joke…

 

20. Repeating Itself- It’s a repeat of what you read in the book (if you even read your book)20

19. Computer- You end up surfing the web and stalking your bff’s Tweets because you’re that bored.

18. Big Class- Half the time the class is way too big, so everyone sits at awkward distances from each other and you’re most likely stuck in the back with two of your friends.. all the more reason not to pay attention.

17. PowerPoint/Prezi- The whole lecture is presented through Powerpoint or Prezi, which you can probably look up after class if your teacher puts it up online.

16. Cellphone- Your phone is always there to distract you, whether you’re getting the last crown in Trivia Crack or planning your plans for later.

15. Homework- You end up doing your homework for the class that was due today, or tomorrow, or you are writing a last minute paper for your next class.

13. Videos- A majority of the time you are just watching YouTube videos that your professor shows you to prove a point or something.

12. No Sleep- Face it, if you got no sleep the night before and you’re teacher is old and boring…. Goodnight.

11. Teacher Never Asks Questions- Your teacher never asks for participation from the class to answer questions, or they never call on you… Why should I even pay attention then? But if they do ask a question it’s something really irrelevant

10. Boring Teacher- The teacher just talks in circles, or barley teaches and has you copy down notes… Let’s face it you’re still working on that million dollar art piece in your notebook.

8. Attendance- If you skip class or come in late, it doesn’t really matter because your teacher won’t even notice.

7. Thinking About Food- You’re so bored and when you’re bored, you eat. I NEED FOOD…. NOW.

6. Early Mornings/Late Nights- Most lectures are either early in the morning or late at night… When you’d rather be sleeping.

5. Teachers Expect You To Remember Everything- Your teacher expects you to remember their word for word presentation, when you only heard “Good Morning/Evening” and “Class is dissmissed”

3. Friends- When you have friends in your class you find yourself gossiping about the party over the weekend or who their new bae is.

2. When A Teacher Says “It’s Fair Game”- Another way teachers try to get your attention by threatening to remember everything they say.
