Ten thoughts while in class.

What You Are Really Thinking About While In Lecture

Her Campus

Whether it's an 8 a.m. or a 2 p.m. class, going to class can sometimes be a struggle. Sometimes the material or professor is just really boring. And sometimes it's really interesting and you have an awesome professor. You will most likely have both at some point in college. Here are 10 thoughts you have while in class:

1. I can't believe I made it here on time.

I literally woke up 15 minutes ago and ate Pop Tarts while running here. The good thing is that I know I'm not the only one. *Gives self pat on the back for showing up.*

2. This is interesting.

Some classes are awesome and have some really cool information, especially if it has to do with your major. Those are the best classes.

3. I'm not sure if it's my lack of sleep or if this class is that boring but I'm about to fall asleep.

Maybe if I shake my leg or chew gum or something it will help me not fall asleep? Why am I so tired?

4. What am I going to eat for lunch and dinner?

I'm so hungry. I can think of so many things that I want to eat right now and later today.

5. What am I going to do tonight?

While it is important to get your homework done, sometimes you just need time with your friends. Time with them is good for the soul.

6. I have no clue what the professor is talking about.

I really hope we don't have a pop quiz or anything and I hope she doesn't ask me a question.

7. 45 more minutes. 40 more minutes. 38 more minutes...and so on.

Seriously, how is it possible for time to pass by this slow?

8. Is anyone else in here paying attention?

That girl is doing homework for another class, that guy is playing games on his iPad, that guy is asleep and that girl is shopping online. So no, probably not.

9. I wonder if the professor can tell by my face that I'm not paying attention.

It's nothing against the professor, it's just hard to listen to someone talk for 50-75 minutes long and not think about other things.

10. thinks about something completely random for 10 minutes.

Like that one really funny vine you saw yesterday and you're trying not to laugh out loud.

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.

In n Out all day, every day

We have outdoor concerts

We live where people vacation

Because let's be honest, we all use lyrics.

1. “Don’t get too close, it’s dark inside. It's where my demons hide.”

2. “Tonight, we are young.”

3. “Cuz I may be bad, but I’m perfectly good at it.”

4. “Tell me how they got that pretty little face on that pretty little frame.”

5. “I can’t wait to fall in love with you, you can’t wait to fall in love with me.”

6. “Sweatpants, hair tied, chillin with no makeup on.”

7. “Why you so obsessed with me?”

8. “We ain’t ever getting older.”

9. “I didn’t know that I was starving until I tasted you.”

10. “Didn’t they tell you I’m a savage?"

11. “I’m gonna make you miss me.”

12. "Cheers to the freakin weekend.”

13. “Love’s a game. Wanna play?”

14. “You don’t know about me, but I bet you want to.”

15. “Let’s set each other’s lonely nights, Be each other’s paradise.”

16. “Trippin’ on skies, sippin’ waterfalls."

17. “Wish we could turn back time, to the good old days.”

18. “But you will remember me for centuries.”

19. “Something about you makes me feel like a dangerous woman."

20. “Don’t act like it’s a bad thing to fall in love with me.”

21. “Darling, I’m a nightmare dressed like a daydream.”

22. “Find me where the wild things are.”

23. “I’m high on lovin’ you.”

24. “If you’re gonna be somebody’s heartbreak, somebody’s mistake, if you’re gonna be somebody’s first time, somebody’s last time, be mine.”

25. “Don’t be afraid to take the road less traveled on.”

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

1. "Talk about a dream Try to make it real You wake up in the night With a fear so real Spend your life waiting For a moment that just don't come Well don't waste your time waiting." (Badlands)

2. "It's a town full of losers/ I'm pulling out of here to win" (Thunder Road)

3. "You've got to learn to live with what you can't rise above" (Tunnel of Love)

4. "I got something in my heart/ I been waitin' to give/ I got a life I wanna start/ One I been waitin' to live" (Leah)

5. “God have mercy on the man/ Who doubts what he’s sure of” (Brilliant Disguise)

7. “Is a dream a lie when it don’t come true, or is it something worse?” (The River)

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

1. "Talk about a dream
Try to make it real
You wake up in the night
With a fear so real
Spend your life waiting
For a moment that just don't come
Well don't waste your time waiting." (Badlands)
