There is a saying that everything changes, but students change less of all. This is probably the reason why their habits and beliefs turn into actual traditions. Here are some interesting facts about what is students’ influence on the world around them.

Sleep Is Sacred

Of course, the only thing a student has absolutely no time to do is the sleep. Basically, every student has ever fallen asleep during a lecture or was really tempted to do so. Every professor has a personal way to deal with it, but the rate of sleeping students was so high in Nantes University, that the professors decided to create a special room for rest. Students are allowed to come here during the day to have a nap or simply lie down and rest for a bit. However, you cannot listen to music and smoke, as well as cuddle or kiss anyone there.

Penny Loafers

This specific kind of loafers received its name from students. It’s not a secret that students are ready to believe in anything before their exams, wishing to pass them as easily as possible. They used to bring a lucky penny with them to the exam, carefully placing it into a special cut on the shoe.

Revealing a Genius

Once George Dantzig was late for the class and mistook two equations written on the blackboard for a home assignment. It took him a couple of days to find a solution for them, and then he found out, that those were two problems scientists could not find a solution to. He found an answer, as he simply didn’t know they were impossible to solve.

The Primal Scream

The primal scream is a specific scream a student can let out during the preparation to the exams. The scream can last a couple of minutes. The students are allowed to scream in the campus of the university, as it is believed to be a good medicine against stress and helps to let the negative emotions out.

The Twinges of Conscience

There was an interesting experiment held in New Castle University. Scientists decided to find out, if the hypothesis about people acting more responsibly when there is a picture of eyes watching them actually works. In order to prove it, they decided to hang the photos of eyes in random parts of the canteen for some days. They discovered, that on the days when those pictures were hanging, students used to take the dirty dishes after a meal to a special window twice as often as they did when the pictures weren’t hanging around.

Sophomore Mice

Psychology is called a science of “students and mice”, as most of the experiments involve them. A lot of scientists work as professors, and that is why it is easy for them to involve students. Apart from that, some of the experiments are paid, and students are often willing to get some cash.

Great Contributors

Despite the fact that all these novelties refer to different spheres of our life, they have such common feature as practicality. A large number of these helpful widgets proves that students and youth are trying to search for the ways how to make their own lives and the lives of other people worldwide more comfortable by creating rather smart and portable devices, which can stand us all in a good stead in the near future and for many years to come.
