30 Thoughts College Students Have While Studying

Like many other college students, I hate studying. It's hard to concentrate on anything for an extended amount of time that isn't Netflix. However, as a college student, it's essentially our main job to study all of the things we've learned in class. Most of the time studying doesn't go exactly as planned. We get distracted and try to refocus, but we somehow find ourselves doing pretty much everything else but studying. While studying it's easy for our minds to wander to a million different places. Here are 30 thoughts students have while studying.

1. Okay, I have midterms coming up. I should get a head start and make flash cards.

2. Did we learn that?

3. I haven't checked my Twitter in a few hours, I should probably just do a quick look.

4. Oh, my best friend tweeted a link to their new Instagram picture, let me check it out.

5. Might as well look at everyone's Instagram.

6. Right, studying. I need to get back on track.

7. I have such ugly handwriting. Are there ways to practice that?

8. Did my phone go off?

9. No one texted me but since I'm on my phone might as well check Snapchat.

10. I should call my mom.

11. Back to studying.

12. This seems important I'll highlight this *highlights entire page*

13. I should take a study break soon.

14. I'm kind of hungry maybe I'll make some pasta.

15. Now that I ate, maybe I can get some work done.

16. I really liked that girl's outfit at the bar last night. Let me see if I can find it somewhere online.

17. Maybe for the midterm, it’ll be stuff I actually know so I don’t have to study as much.

18. I don’t want to over-study and forget all the information I studied.

19. Maybe I should turn my phone off or turn on do not disturb.

20. My professor gave us such short notice on this. Like why hasn’t he been reminding us?

21. Oh yeah, I forgot I have to look at the syllabus every week to remind myself.

22. I’m too tired for this.

23. A nap would be awesome right now, I should really take one. How am I supposed to study when I’m this tired?

24. Someone tagged me in a thing on Facebook, obviously I have to check it immediately. Might as well take a scroll through.

25. I just wanna check what shows are on Netflix right now. I want some ideas for what to watch tonight after I study. I only have 10 minutes left in Stranger Things might as well finish it up.

26. Wait am I following all of them on social media? I have to make sure I keep up with them. Since I’m on their page I might as well stalk.

27. I just realized three hours have passed and I haven’t even started studying.

28. Is that kid in my class? I should ask him if he’s even started to study.

29. Okay, now I’m gonna seriously study.

30. Oh my god is the library really closing already?

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
