Every university has their own set of unique students with unique personalities. Kind of like how every restaurant has its own special menu (not my greatest analogy, Sue me). Some of them look dead to the world and some are just happy they even made it, it\u2019s a circus. I\u2019ve compiled a list of some of the people you\u2019ll always run into at the University of Kent. Warning: it might make you want to drop out.<\/p>\n
You may notice when you first go to the University\u00a0of Kent that international students take it to the next LEVEL when it comes to dressing up. One day they\u2019ll show up in a fur coat and the next in stilettos, who knows? They just somehow manage to look like they\u2019ve come out of a magazine catalogue every single day and it\u2019s truly magical.<\/p>\n
This is that one student who tries to be at the top of their class and with the highest grades and think they can accomplish that by becoming best friends with the professors. They would talk to them outside of class, always offer to do extra help, and in the end get really salty when their grades don\u2019t match their level of annoyance by the end of the term.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s always just one person in every single class you attend in university who just happens to own a MacBook and would love for the ENTIRE world to know that they have a MacBook. You\u2019ll always hear them slamming their fingers on to the keyboard writing a hundred words a minute when literally the only words the professor has uttered where their name. We get it. You take notes. You have a MacBook. Move on.<\/p>\n
You\u2019d think you know everyone for who they really are but people always have a way of surprising you. This is the student who doesn\u2019t utter any word for weeks, fades into the background, always invisible. Then one day that same student will raise their hand and say the smartest thing you\u2019ve ever heard and receive the highest GPA and you\u2019ll still be surprised by them.<\/p>\n
You may encounter this person at Drill Hall Library, at a Starbucks, or even in front of the mirror cause let\u2019s face it, it\u2019s probably going to be you. This person just always looks like they\u2019re on the verge of tears, always angry about not meeting deadlines when they\u2019ve only started a couple of days before them, and just always ready to drop out and work at McDonalds. I\u2019m not going to lie and say that this person hasn\u2019t been me a few times.<\/p>\n
In the middle of a professor\u2019s important lecture, while everyone is paying attention and taking notes, there\u2019s always at least one person who chooses that time to go on their phone, open the ASOS app, and start shopping. There\u2019s just something about the tense and confused atmosphere of the class that really makes you get in touch with your true style.<\/p>\n
Bear with me and try your best not to get as frustrated as me here but you know what mean when I say there\u2019s always the one student who just can\u2019t ask anything but stupid questions. All they really do is state the obvious, rephrase what the lecturer only just said but I\u2019m question form, and waste everyone\u2019s time. The worst thing is that they probably thought they were making actual impact to the lecture.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m just going to be straight forward here and say that this student is definitely me, and that is the type of student who always has coffee in their hand. In the morning, before classes, during breaks, at the library, you name it. When I don\u2019t have my coffee all I can speak about is needing my coffee or otherwise I\u2019d pass out and\/or lose all interest in lectures until I have caffeine in my system. Who can relate with me on this?<\/p>\n
You know when you\u2019re just dead tired, sick of all lectures, walking like a zombie into class one morning and you just run into the one person you don\u2019t want to see. The overly enthusiastic professor. The professor that\u2019s always smiling, always making jokes and believe that it is possible to become best friends with their own students. This only becomes a betrayal when it turns out that the same professor is the one who grades the harshest and your GPA will pay for your easy trust levels.<\/p>\n
Last but definitely not the least, the one that\u2019s just confused. The student that floats in and out of every class, mindlessly taking notes and mastering the right facial expressions to make during a lecture to actually seem interested. They just keep believing that they can just figure out the entire syllabus when it\u2019s before a deadline and they can study it on their own. Who knows what\u2019s running through their minds honestly? At this point I\u2019m too scared to even ask. You’ll definitely run into them at the University of Kent.<\/p>\n
