What You Are Really Thinking About While In Lecture

Ten thoughts while in class.

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.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
