16 Things To Do When Bored In Class

We all have that one class we try so hard to be present for. I’m not talking about physically present, I’m talking about mentally present. You attend the first two weeks and think you can do it. You will listen and take notes like the good college student you are. But as a month begins to roll around, you suddenly feel your eyes grow heavy, your mind starts to wonder, and you’re left with the painful job of sitting in a class that is royally evil. Open those eyes and your handy-dandy laptop; I’ve got some pretty awesome things to do online that will keep you looking at least a little more alive and well. Here’s a list of 16 things to do on your computer when class isn’t the most exciting thing in the world:

1. Facebook:

The obvious choice. Just don’t find yourself on the profile of the person sitting next to you.

2. Twitter:

Another obvious choice, but there’s nothing better than indulging in all of your friend’s super important thoughts.

3. Instagram:

Original, but those “instafamous” celebrities can’t get those likes by themselves!

4. YouTube:

If the professor allows you to use headphones, then by all means watch all of those crazy cat videos!

5. iMessage:

Apple users know what I’m talking about. Texting while not actually using a phone, what more could you want?

6. Pinterest:

Here you can find creative ideas on basically anything your heart desires. As you are passing class time, you also are becoming more artistic by the minute. What fun!

7. Big Fish Games:

Why not enjoy some quality gaming time while listening to a totally awesome, okay really boring, lecture?

8. Sporcle:

Here you can find quizzes and trivia to use the knowledge that is slowly dissipating in this super exciting class.

9. Disney Channel Games:

For all of my fellow classmates that miss what used to be Disney Channel, find all of your favorite old games here. You may have to dig a little to find them, but I promise you they’re still there and ready to be played.

10. Netflix:

This is for my bold individuals. If you're feeling even more daring, maybe bring some popcorn and candy.

11. Online Shop:

Spend all of your money. Spend it all. Check out eBay, Amazon or Overstock, just to name a few!

12. Ellentube:

Watch Ellen Degeneres’ favorite videos and funniest moments. Just try not to laugh in class, that would be a dead give away that you're doing the opposite of what you’re supposed to be doing.

13. Bored Button:

Bored in class? Press the red button and all of your troubles will fade into oblivion.

14. Akinator:

Want something that will blow your mind? Check out this magic genie that will guess a certain person you’re thinking of. Warning: This game hurts your brain. He's just too good.

15. StumbleUpon:

Stumble your way into fun entertainment while also freeing yourself from boredom. This site has exciting pictures, fun activities, interesting articles and basically anything else to entertain you on the Internet.

16. App Store:

If you have an Apple laptop, then utilize the endless amounts of games or fun apps in the app store. Go crazy. Download them all.

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.
