College Students

College students are weird.

They start studying when the days draw near;

Literally two days before the final day,

With fear and anxiety gripping them till the end.

When the professor gives them a test, they expect

A review-sheet two weeks prior to the exam.

However, they never really read it at all.

Shockingly in the end, and almost always,

They blame the professor for not reviewing thoroughly in class.

College students are weird.

When they see you in the hallway,

They act as if you have some sort of invisibility power;

But, in class, when it is time for group work,

They want to be your best friend forever.

College students are weird.

They get annoyed if there is no assigned textbook in the class,

And, if the Professor happens to assign one,

They are angry for being told to read the book.

When they finally buy the required textbook,

It accumulates dust in the comfort of their bookshelf,

Saving as bragging rights that state, “I have the book.”

I mean these guys are weird.

They come to class in pajamas and expect the professor,

To recommend them for prestigious scholarships and internships.

Google is their friend indeed when they find themselves in need,

Of a quick copy and paste kind of deal.

Have you seen their bags?

Full of all the necessary tools to take good notes,

Or at least write something down but, no;

The year will actually come to an end and no writings produced – no notes.

These folks are complete “weirdos.”

I repeat college students are weird.

Most of them complain about how the tuition is unbearable

But, low and behold, they attend only 5% of the lectures, do only 1% of the work required,

And still, expect a grade no less than a B plus.

If things do not go in their direction, they resort to,

Long and detailed emailed writings explaining their competence,

Which almost, always leaves the professor dazed.

Now, if you still doubt that college students are weird,

I’m convinced you are one of them.
