Well sweeties this is what I did when I was in school and now college. XD

Elementary School : Game Boy
Middle School: Game Boy Color/Advance
High School: Game Boy Advance/DS
College: Game Boy and DS/DSi

Handheld video games, the greatest milestone for mankind, and a great cure for boredom. XD

In elementary and middle school, I used to talk a lot in class and throw stuff at the teacher to get me to leave the class. In high school, I literally always slept; the teachers wouldn't bother me; I was smart, so yeah. Now, in college, I don't feel the need to sleep in the class, maybe only in history and philosophy courses. (:

I usually do my homework in class, if at all possible. I can usually figure out things faster and easier than my teachers can explain them. Either that, or I just sit and look like I'm paying attention, so I don't get called on. (because I hate being called on. :c)

WELL. Elementary and middle school, I would draw, imagine things, or spontaneously burst into "My Heart Will Go On." High school, I would either play my DS, draw, write poems (lol), write a note to my significant other, or stare at the wall and imagine Mario running along the cracks in the wall. In college...I'd get on PC or...stare at the wall. Again. lol I'm probably one of the few people that didn't text in class. I never did that, because I didn't (and still don't!) have unlimited texting.

Well I'm a senior in AP classes, where the teachers are super chill and laid back. My calc teacher, for example, doesn't care if I blatantly text during notes. So yeah, I usually end up doing lots of random stuff in class.

Of course, there are times where I'm deathly tired and I have to fight off my drowsiness, but I just try to keep myself busy if that's the case.

I'm the exact opposite, I love paying attention in my history/philosophy courses!

I've been the same way through elementary school to now (college), I draw ALL over my notes. it's okay though because then I have to re-write my notes so they're organized and by writing them again I memorize the material more. especially in math, oh man :( sometimes if the class is THAT bad, i'll bring a book. I did that in my business law class last semester and my math class this semester.

In a few specific classes, I fight sleep. In most classes, I'm kept busy with noticing the madness going around the class, the jokes cracked, and all that. In most classes with long lectures, I start drawing random things on the sides of the pages.

Sometimes, when I'm bored of the idea of class, I skip it in total...
Yeah, I'm doomed to be an underachiever for life for this, but it can't be helped. I hate studying so much, I can't help it.

Generally, I end up doodling anything and everything. Even if it's an object in the room, I'll doodle it whilst writing down necessary information for the class that I've either been told or think I will need to write down. Recently in Science my bestfriend and I have been passing messages but if he's not there it's doodle or gazing around the room boredly all the way!

In my Elementary and middle school years, it was all about passing notes. The era of texting didn't come till on my freshman year of high school. I used to text sooo much in class, even the teachers didn't notice! That's basically what I do when class gets really boring. lol

How do you guys get away with playing video games in class? =O

Well, as someone else said, I just do my homework in class. All the more reason to not do it at home. :D

And I sometimes find myself drifting off, but I don't sleep completely. I witnessed a kid get nabbed for sleeping during a video (it was dark, who could blame 'em?). I don't want to be the next victim. :X

During high school, I never had issues with nearly falling asleep. When I was bored, I either wrote my stories, read a book (in rare cases), or did homework. Never really got in trouble for any of it. :)

In college, certain classes were so warm and cozy, I nearly did sleep in a few of them. My sleeping schedule sucked. Sometimes I'd skip classes if I knew I'd just fall asleep during them; what's the point in going if I'm just going to snooze when I can do it at the dorm where I'd have a bed? Oddly, in college, I was too busy taking notes to distract myself. It was a shame, I would've loved to get writing done.

Through grade school I used to draw, though back in those days I didn't find class too terribly boring.

In college, I've increasingly found the need to play my DS in class because of the boredom level. Fortunately the professors themselves are too bored to care :P

Ah well, sometimes I drift into space when I'm bored of learning near the end of the day. XD Its not that I fall asleep or anything, its just my mind likes to wonder around, not paying attention to anything at all. V_V Yeah, sometimes when the teacher asks me a question about math I go: "Uh...42?" and she just turns away. u_u

In Webpage Design, which is more like Internet Journalism, I visit Pokecommunity!

When I don't have access to the internet, I usually just read my textbooks. History textbooks have some interesting stuff. No textbook, then I just sit there and vegetate. It really sucks.

I witnessed a kid get nabbed for sleeping during a video (it was dark, who could blame 'em?).
Heh, in 10th grade, I fell asleep during a video. I didn't really mean to, though. Thankfully, my teacher is extremely understanding and awesome that she didn't really care. My friend Selina told me I snore really loud, though. But it was dark and I was full from lunch. And the video wasn't too exciting either. It was a film in French.
