  • SamuraiPanda, on 05/22/2008, -8/+355Second row sleeper here. People keep telling me to stop sitting so close if I'm going to fall asleep, but it isn't like I intend to. 10am is too early for college =/

    Unfortunately, it didn't get get enough exposure the first time round so I'm sharing it again.... I thought it was a pretty cool strip, deserves to be seen more.
  • utopiaNow, on 05/22/2008, -5/+335I just and try and sit in a location so I avoid all the annoying groups. ie. 20 Asian kids that somehow know each other and talk in their language really loud, 5 frat guys who come to class every time and talk about frat *****, 2-3 annoying girls with suspiciously awesome ***** who blabber on about "The Hills" or "LaGuna Beach", the idiot who asks retarded questions and is wrong every time he gives an answer but has like 3 backup friends who he makes stupid jokes to, the emo punks and punkettes who are too morbidly depressed about a ***** differential equation, and the guys who come to class to play WoW, oh and the Persian crowd of 2-3 guys and 2 girls who are crazily overdressed and over-makeup'ed for a freaking 9am lecture.
  • inactive, on 05/22/2008, -7/+311The front row kids are also the ones who ask too many questions.

    You'd think people could write stuff down, then ask the question once the lecture was complete.
  • thewidowmaker, on 05/22/2008, -14/+279I sit at the back and then yell out my questions so that everyone has to turn their head. I consider it the appearance of "nerd-cool"...it's like, yeah I am in the back...and yeah, I know what is happening and can participate when I feel like it... Word!
  • diggRelief1, on 05/22/2008, -3/+246So, according to the equation, if you're not sleepy, you don't exist?
  • TEHxINTERWEBS, on 05/22/2008, -6/+197Back Kid is hardcore...he smokes in class!
  • Oppslagsverk, on 05/22/2008, -2/+162You have pretty much listed everyone here. Except the cool guys. Like us diggers.
  • bxblox, on 05/22/2008, -1/+157You mean the "taking notes" on a laptop guys?
  • nreynolds, on 05/22/2008, -7/+132dude. you get 100 points for that comment, now everyone's going to love you.
  • inactive, on 05/22/2008, -3/+125I usually sit nearest to the exit, but that doesn't mean i'm uncommitted. I like to beat the rush out the door at the end, especially in some of my packed out lectures.

  • toenail, on 05/22/2008, -3/+120i guess the teacher wanted me to be teachers pet cause she would always move me up front
  • CosmoKramer, on 05/22/2008, -0/+96What about us 2nd row from the back guys?
  • kamikaze87, on 05/22/2008, -3/+93I position myself for the best angle of viewing the female anatomy. Usually turns out to be 1 row ahead, and 3 seats left of ***** McGee, that way I can nonchalantly turn my head and stare at her sweet milkbags in amazement.
  • JasonCox, on 05/22/2008, -2/+91Where's the guy sitting in the back corner "taking notes" on his laptop?
  • UNDERSTAR, on 05/22/2008, -5/+94Too bad they dont have a pic that shows someone sleeping in late on their bed.
  • ChingKing, on 05/22/2008, -0/+84Im always falling asleep in lectures. I tried the trick of constantly taking notes to keep me awake and alert, it didn't work. Though reading the gibberish I've written down while coming in and out of unconscious after the lecture is hilarious.
  • PauliAnna, on 05/22/2008, -2/+82front row: don't forget bad vision....
  • rockorager, on 05/22/2008, -0/+72If you aren't sleepy, you are approximately infinity, and by that scale, I would say that is the lecturer
  • Janv1er, on 05/22/2008, -2/+72And you sit all alone...
  • colto, on 05/22/2008, -7/+77Teacher's pet wannabe....
  • TheChauvinist, on 05/22/2008, -5/+71i am so the mid-center bring it on, with two fists!
  • Gusbob, on 05/22/2008, -0/+59like those who are in need of glasses, but claim that they don't.
  • ShyGuy91284, on 05/22/2008, -0/+58I remember I used to be a second row sleeper.... Then I considered the fact that I was paying 83 cents/minute for that sleep, and learned to take classes with friends that would poke me awake if they noticed me nodding off......
  • jawbreaker4fs, on 05/22/2008, -0/+57The good thing about majoring in computer science is that you really only have the guys who play WoW and the kid who asks retarded questions.
  • SpencerMc, on 05/22/2008, -0/+56The worst are the ones that think they and the professor are on a whole 'nother level than everyone else in the class. The ones that go off on tangents in the "I thought you might enjoy some intelligent conversation, though the rest of these plebeians won't understand it" tone of voice.
    I had one in one of my classes last semester that actually wore a beret in a non-ironic manner.
  • quakeIII, on 05/22/2008, -0/+54Answer: He's at Digg.com
    Special Note: that guy is actually YOU, now start paying attention in class.
  • jam3rz, on 05/22/2008, -1/+55you must attend a UC.
  • amplifiedshock, on 05/22/2008, -0/+49I think you were in class last semester.
  • georgemason01, on 05/22/2008, -4/+52I hate school desks.
  • Bean945, on 05/22/2008, -2/+49In the year below me we had a kid who.. *achm*.. used to jerk the gerkin in the back of the class... O_o
  • imdandman, on 05/22/2008, -1/+47Dugg for "suspiciously awesome *****"
  • PricklySponge, on 05/22/2008, -3/+46I'm sensitive
  • inactive, on 05/22/2008, -9/+52Asking questions also helps keep your mind active/awake in lectures (at least for me). Also sitting in front makes it easier to ask/stay awake.
  • kelly86, on 05/22/2008, -0/+41I'm nearly always late for class and the only seats that are left are either in the back row or the front. Choice is easy.
  • inactive, on 05/22/2008, -1/+41http://www.mcdonalds.com.au/careers/applying_tips/ ...
  • dsmx, on 05/22/2008, -1/+38Your not quite cool enough for the back row.
  • chessoriginal, on 05/22/2008, -0/+37try 5:30 am every morning... that's what i thought
  • priegog, on 05/22/2008, -0/+35Yup, tried that too myself. The lines start to curve downwards, the letters start becoming small and eventually they turn into continous lines. But the few words you get to understand are indeed hilarious; you end up thinking "what the ***** was I thinking?" I once wrote something I was saying to another character in a dream.
    'nuff said.
  • asancho, on 05/22/2008, -1/+34"2-3 overdressed persians"
    Oh you HAVE to go to UCLA.
  • Whadabala, on 05/22/2008, -1/+32Epic story.
  • InorganicMatter, on 05/22/2008, -0/+31Talking in class is annoying regardless of language, but talking in class LOUDLY, in a language that the rest of the class cannot understand and participate in, is beyond rude.
  • synyster, on 05/22/2008, -0/+29that's not hardcore, i saw a girl were giving bj in the back row in class(can't remember what's the title of the move)
  • xstarsprinklesx, on 05/22/2008, -0/+29Mostly true.. but in my last couple years of college I only sat towards the front because it was the only way I could force myself to pay attention at all.
  • priegog, on 05/22/2008, -1/+28Same here... it's funny cuz it's true. Also, it doesn't matter if the night before i slept 4 or 8 hours, I will ALWAYS end up sleeping in a class that hasn't me 100% engaged in interest at around that time.
  • thewidowmaker, on 05/22/2008, -2/+29you should try it this term... it works with the ladies. they are all like, "wow, what a nerd! but wait he is at the back, so he must be cool, what should i do...what should i do...god my head hurts from having to look back in this class!!...but, i can't tell if he is decent looking or not, can't look back too long, he isn't asking a question now so i can't doublecheck...i have to know more about him!! he must be mine!!!".

    that's how i met my wife in university. seriously.
  • po43292, on 05/22/2008, -0/+26I think it's called Awesome.
  • LeonidasStokely, on 05/22/2008, -4/+30"Emo punk" is an oxymoron.

    Fekin' emo wannabes.
  • bovester, on 05/22/2008, -5/+30somebody's got some sand in their vagina
  • Keimatsu, on 05/22/2008, -0/+25*****, I'm doing that right now.
