Backbenchers Keep the Spirit Alive in a Class. Check these Amazing Facts Every Backbencher Will Relate To.

What makes backbenchers different from the other lot in a classroom? Lots of fun, some of the lowest marks in exams and tonnes of memories. Backbenchers might never have been able to top in the class but they definitely managed to get the best out of that tiny enclosed room.

No matter how much the teachers or the frontbenchers hate them for the ruckus they create, in the end, everyone loves them. And why not? They were the ones responsible for all those foolish activities in the middle of that super-boring lectures.

So let’s celebrate all those memories we owe to the silly backbenchers in every class.

1. Always Being Late

No student deserves to be called a true backbencher if they reach the class on time. What’s the point of pushing yourself from sleep if you have to attend that entire 1-hour lecture?

2. No Silence Please

Hell Yeahhh!!! A silent classroom listening to the teacher looks decent, but cool? Naaah! That’s when our backbenchers come in the picture to remind us what fun looks like.

3. Stupid Questions

The simplest way to irritate the teacher? Ask totally irrelevant questions. So when teachers go x and y, just don’t go z, go -21⁴³.

4. Dozing Off

We all need to admit. 5 minutes of sleep in the classroom is much more beautiful than the 8 hours sleep in the night.

5. Rising in an Unknown World

God knows how the world seemed to change in those 5 minutes. The sudden question asked by the teacher was nothing less than a heart attack.

6. Getting Targeted Every Time

Backbenchers establish such a reputation that no matter who is making the noise, they are always the first ones to be targeted by the teacher.

7. Honourary Punishments

Those 10 minutes expulsion from the class might worry the guys sitting in front but for those who occupy the last benches, that’s an honour.

8. Copying Notes

The biggest reason for the friendship between the backbenchers and the frontbenchers was the former’s necessity to copy notes from the latter.

9. Scribbled Notes

We all know we had made more notes on our benches rather than writing in our notebooks.

10. Mid-Lecture Meals

Backbenchers have the advantage that they can eat their tiffins whenever they want, even in the midst of a lecture. All you need to be careful about is that you don’t make any noise.

11. Never Carrying a Notebook

All the backbenchers have a sidekick who carries the notebook and a pen for them.

Many people wonder why backbenchers are praised when they are the silliest of the lot and pay no heed to classes. Well, looking back from the future, everyone realizes that those moments matter more than a number on the mark sheet.
