Being a commuting student, I spend a lot of time in the car driving back and forth to class. These minutes spent in the car leave me to my thoughts, which isn't always a good thing. I present 15 thoughts I have while commuting.
1. I should have used the restroom before I left
It never fails, I usually make it about 5 minutes into my drive and then suddenly I realize I have to pee.
2. I'm hungry...
It's hard to drive past so many delicious eateries and not think about lunch!
3. Maybe I should stop by Target
Who doesn't love Target? Between the dollar deals, the cute clothes, and any thing you actually don't need but will buy anyway.
4. Why doesn't anyone know how to drive
No turn signals, tailgating, driving unreasonably slow/fast. Driving the highways feels like a real-life version of the Hunger Games.
5. If I quit school I wouldn't have to deal with all this traffic
Between the actual stress of class, the next leading reason of me considering dropping out is ALL THE DAMN TRAFFIC.
6. Was there homework assigned last night??
I either get super ahead on all my readings or assignments, or I am rushing to finish right before class starts.
7. I should have gotten up earlier
Sleeping in is probably one of the best things, until you think about all the things you could have been doing instead of sleeping in.
8. Man, I'm really late!!
Another consequence of sleeping in: BEING LATE FOR CLASS
9. I should really hit the gym on my way home
My heat says gym but my heart says pizza.
10. Maybe I should just turn around and go back to bed
It's hard to resist the call of a pillow top mattress over the call of a boring class
11. I could just skip class and go shopping
I mean, when you're already running late, you might as well run really late and do some shopping
12. I wonder what my dog thinks I'm doing
Every day when I leave for school I always tell my dog goodbye, but then I wonder what she's thinking and if she wonders where I'm at
13. Am I scheduled to work tonight??
There's nothing like just driving, minding your own business then suddenly panic and wonder if you're on the schedule tonight.
14. I think I should just adopt 100 dogs
The best question is why not adopt 100 dogs. How could you ever be sad with 100 dogs to shower you with love and affection.
