10 Everyday Thoughts Of A College Student

College: The phase of life where you are wrapped in a bubble before real adulthood.

College is what every high school student dreams about and what every college student dreams of passing. College is quite the experience, that's for sure. Here are some typical everyday thoughts of a college student.

What am I really doing with my life? Do I REALLY need this degree? Dropping out sounds like a great idea.

Can I squeeze in that extra nap? My sleeping schedule never got more messed up until I went to college. College is the place where staying up past one a.m. every weekday is normal and so is the waking up at six forty-five for your eight a.m. class. It's the place where napping between classes has become the usual. It's debating if you can sleep in fifteen more minutes wondering if your professor will actually count you late.

Do I really need to go to class? The answer is yes when attendance is required but then debating if you should use one of your few skips for that class to sleep in.

Cafeteria food or the student center food? Do I want to use my swipes on Chick-Fil-A or save them for my daily Starbucks coffee? Might as well just eat in the cafeteria

Extra Credit? Knowing you should really take advantage of it but procrastinating during the semester to take advantage of it

Do I want to study or be social? Here's one of the real questions of college. Most of the time I end up procrastinating my studying until twelve am.

Or do I want to take another nap instead? Another very real struggle of college life.

I miss my mom. Do I want to make the drive to go home this weekend?

Do I want to pay to do my laundry or go bring it home? Mom loves to come to the rescue on that one.

Maybe living with my parents my whole life isn't such a bad idea after all. Admit it, you've thought it.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
