Remora
The User
The Remora is a fish that attaches to other sea creatures
to hitch a ride across the ocean. These creatures generally
latch on to any swimmer that is larger than them, but their
favorite host is the whale shark. Remoras lack swim bladders
that other fish have; therefore they need a host to travel
the ocean efficiently. The whale shark does not only serve
as a transporter, but they also provide the Remora with an
occasional meal. These fish devour the remaining scraps
that the shark leaves behind when feeding. The Remora is
not solely a freeloading fish; they remove small parasites
from the host’s body during the travel.
Not every student learns the same nor do they study
the same. However, one of the basic principles of studying
is taking notes, and Users will never hesitate to call you
and ask for yours. These blood-sucking creatures only call
when they need something. They never reciprocate or call
to hangout. The first few times the User asks for your notes,
you will not think anything of it, and you may be happy to
help. But once you see the pattern of taking advantage, you
will be ready to cut them off. Unlike the Remora, most Users
do not offer anything meaningful in return. Some common
signs to tell if a student is a User are low class attendance
and only calls when a test is on the horizon.
