It seems like lectures, even the 50 minute ones, can drag on forever. You check your phone when the professor starts lecturing and when you check it again 20 minutes later only 5 minutes have passed. Sure you could actually pay attention, but where's the fun in that? Here's a list of 14 things we all think about when we're sitting in lecture. If I compiled a list of every thought, it would probably be as long as Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

1. How has he only been talking for 5 minutes?

I swear I've been here for way longer than that.

2. Wait, what?

Does anyone else understand this or am I just dumb?

3. I wonder what the dining courts are having today for lunch.

I hope there's fries. And cheese. CHEESE FRIES.

4. Why is he talking so fast? I can't keep up!

Well I'll just have to scribble that sentence out now.

5. Do I know that kid sitting over there?

He looks like this kid I know. Wait no, never seen him before.

6. Man, I hope I see a dog today.

I could really use a dog today.

7. Did we have homework due for class?

I hope not. All I did last night was watch Netflix.

8. THIS MAKES NO SENSE

Okay, now there's no way I'm the only one who's confused.

9. I wish my friend would play me back in the iMessage game I sent her.

I really just want to play 8-ball pool.

10. I am literally going to die of hunger before he stops talking.

I can feel my organs shutting down.

11. I'm just going to get on Pinterest to look at ONE thing really quick.

I saw this cute DIY thing and I need to know how to do it right now.

12. Well if I checked Pinterest, I have to check Twitter.

Equality among social media outlets is very important.

13. I wonder if there's any new Joe Biden memes.

I really hope that there is. I love those things.

14. Is class over yet?

No. It's only been 5 minutes since the last time I checked.

Hang in there guys; it's almost time for Christmas Break. Just keep thinking positive thoughts in lecture. May you all pet a dog today.
