Different people have different approaches to dealing with various situations that face them daily. Campus life is one thing that all students must deal with whether they are popular or not. Some students judge their success on campus by how much work they put in and by what they achieve on their own without the help of fellow students or teachers. Now, this may sound strange or one may ask why would someone want to be anti-social? but as I alluded to earlier, to each their own.

How not to make friends

There are many things that students can do to make themselves unpopular on campus. Although the attempt may backfire, where you become known for doing this or that or being weird, to a large extent they may work in allowing you not to win friends or influence your teacher. Some of these ideas include:

Constantly having lunch by yourself: Lunchtime is one of the easiest times to make friends. Hence, sitting by yourself and limiting your socializing will restrict the number of students who will want to be your friend. This seclusion will allow you to focus on yourself.

Dress down: Stay away from the latest trends in fashion. Go for the nerd look, buy second hand clothes or simply do not wash them. This will keep other students miles away from you as they will not want to be associated with someone who cannot keep up with the latest fashion.
Always stay in the library: The library is a place where there must be total silence, so if you spend most of your time in the library, there will be no room for conversation and meeting friends. You will also be able to put in more time for your studies and get better grades.

Be obnoxious: No one wants to associate themselves with an obnoxious individual. It leaves a bad taste in someone’s mouth when they extend a hand of friendship and you return it with an insult. Even if they do it once or twice, they will not be coming a third time. Actually, they will even help you in your quest to be unfriendly by spreading the word that your do not want to be friends with anyone.

Do not attend campus parties: Campus parties are a big part of the social life on campus. Therefore, do not accept invitations, or even if they are thrust upon you, simply do not attend. After a while, they will stop inviting you.

How not to Influence your Teacher

In your quest to earn your college education without influence, some students also try to have a neutral relationship with their teachers. In some weird way, it gives them a sense of satisfaction that they were able to complete college without any favors.

Therefore, by being quiet in class, submitting your assignments in the middle of the pack, sitting in the middle of the class, you can easily become invisible to your teacher and still achieve your educational goals.
