Do you know those long, boring classes that feel like they'll never end? Yeah, we've all been there. Instead of listening to the teacher, some people start doodling in their notebooks or even in their textbooks.

Even though teachers always say not to write or draw in our textbooks, some of us can't help but feel rebellious and do it anyway. For many students, sitting through lectures can be super boring.

Doodling in the margins of textbooks is a way to pass the time and have a little fun. Instead of just drawing random stuff, some students create incredible drawings and designs that make their textbooks look awesome.

But why do students do this? Maybe it's because they want to do something fun and different during class. Or maybe it's a way to show that they have their ideas and aren't just passive learners. Whatever the reason, it's pretty cool to see what students can come up with when they let their imaginations run wild.

Not everyone is a fan of this kind of doodling, though. Teachers and some people think it's wrong to draw in textbooks. They say textbooks should be kept neat and clean, without any distractions.

But maybe there's something special about adding a personal touch to your textbooks. In a world where everyone's expected to be the same, doodling in your textbooks is a way to be yourself and show off your creativity.

Learning doesn't have to be boring and there's more to education than just reading books. Here are some examples of students getting creative in their textbooks that are just too cool to ignore.

1. "Something seems a bit disjointed about this teen’s artwork."

2. "If only this dude put as much effort into his math homework as he did with his doodling."

3. " I have their first album on vinyl."

4. "I think you lost something there sir."

5. " I don’t recall learning about that part of the food chain."

6. "Now THAT is a hairdo."

7. "This explains SO much."

8. "Someone was obviously a little hungry in Geometry."

9. "This kid sure got an eyeful in science class. "

10. "I’ve always thought this was the most important element."

11. "I had no idea you were going to superhero school. "

12. " These two sure do make quite the couple."

13. "Storage disks have become a thing of the past, just like dinosaurs."

14. "That got dark quickly."

15. "We’ve got a tattletale on our hands."

16. " But first…let me take a selfie."

17. "This little guy decided to ride his motorcycle to school today. Head to the next page to see something that’s 2017 as hell."

18. " I think this lady’s had one too many to drink."

19. "So we finally know the answer to this age-old question."

20. " You too can be a star if you start paying attention and stop failing this course."

21. "Who could forget the joys of learning a second language?"

22. "I don’t think these gymnasts will be vying for gold anytime soon."

23. "Hm…this doesn’t seem kid-friendly."

24. "There’s way too much going on in this photo to try and explain here."

Even though drawing in textbooks might not be allowed by everyone, it can be a fun way to liven up a boring class.

So, if you're ever feeling bored during a lecture, why not grab a pen and start doodling? You might end up creating something cool that makes the class more enjoyable.
