Things that annoyed you in college

i get a bit annoyed at how our school’s website (CCC) advertises that we have a speech and debate team, all of these different clubs, and so on. yet there are no links to get more information on how to join or when they meet or anything! i honestly have never seen these clubs around and don’t even think we have a real speech and debate team at the moment. i dont doubt we ever had one! but it’s advertised as if you can just join the school and have all these wonderful opportunities to attend all these diverse and interesting clubs and activities and really they just haven’t updated their club list in years and let all the past clubs aggregate online. it’s also a bit annoying because since we still have to transfer and be competitive for universities, the “school report” that our school will send will probably advertise the school as this rich environment full of opportunities to get involved when in reality that’s completely false. ive been involved in a language club before at our school and i got to meet people from other language clubs as well and they all had the same experience in that the clubs probably meet 3 times a semester and usually only 0-5 people show up (which leads to the club only meeting very few times per semester).

you could plan out a fabulous club with meetings and events but it means nothing if not enough people show up for it to continue running. and yet im pretty sure our school will tell universities that students have so many opportunities to get involved and lead! and then our transfer apps show we weren’t “involved” and it makes us look bad.

and im not even that upset about the application/ECs, but i truly would love to join a club and meet people and learn stuff yet people here aren’t here for anything but going to class and going back home or to work. it’s understandable, since most people that go to CC are mature adults or people who didn’t come straight after high school and they have lives and families to take care of but it sucks for us younger students who couldn’t afford to go to a 4 year university right away (or didn’t have the grades/work ethic/family problems/any reason ect.) and can’t have an environment with which to grow socially among our peers.

i also dislike how unclean our bathrooms are sometimes…im surprised im saying this because our bathrooms are pretty new. but sometimes people leave a mess! that can get annoying. i also find our lab classes pretty annoying. it doesnt feel as if i learn anything from those. it’s just follow directions and do this and that. plus they take hours to do.

i wish our library had more entrances/exits. it only has one main entrance/exit, even though the building itself is fairly big. so if im on one side of the school, id have to walk to the other side to enter the library even though i might already be physically next to the library. lazy problems, i know.

i dislike that we have lots of bible club people always asking us to join their off campus bible club. they probably don’t even go to our school but they just decided to stake out our school or something, i dont know why they cant go somewhere else. same goes for people asking others to sign petitions. those aren’t as annoying though since they’re usually only around for a day or few. but these religious people have been here everyday for the past several weeks and it’s becoming a huge annoyance. i can’t even sit outside anymore without always being approached by one of them. and every day without fail they always ask! is there any way to report them to get them to stop loitering on campus?

something that has recently annoyed me is that there’s no stapler in one of my classes. this is the first class ive had where we dont have a stapler yet also the first where we have had to turn in homework every class. so i usually do my homework before class but then i have to search the school for a stapler or ask someone to let me borrow theirs. i really dont want to lug a stapler (even the tiny ones) around because im already getting back problems from my laptop and i try to carry as little as possible for that.

i kinda wish the cafes were open a bit later for night classes. and more study rooms in other buildings, not just two.
