I swear I was paying attention.

30 Thoughts You Have During A Never Ending Lecture
Mikael Kristenson

We all hate the classic lecture style settings. Sitting through lectures that drone on and on are some of the driest and most boring moments in college. That's just a fact. There will always be professors that don't spice up their lectures with videos, questions, or even activities but rather present you with a full 90 minutes of them talking and talking and talking. But lectures are something we all have to sit through and painfully endure. It's the common ground that we all share: lectures are awful. So now I present you with my own personal thoughts from when I sat through a painfully long lecture earlier this week...

1. Why am I even here? This class is pointless.

2. What are they even talking about?

3. Is this even a part of the chapter?

4. What do I have to do after this class?

5. I should've just skipped. I have too many other things to do.

6. Do I have to do laundry later?

7. I wonder what my dog is doing. I miss him.

8. I'm going to get Pizza Hut later. Yum.

9. Oh some Starbucks sounds amazing!

10. Oh look that girl has coffee. Shes so lucky... I should've gotten some before class.

11. How many more days are there in the semester?

12. If he keeps droning on, I am going to fall asleep.

13. What's the point of this class anyways?

14. I wonder if I have a text message. Let's check.

15. I have no clue what's going on.

16. Oh I know the answer to that question! Wait nope, I was wrong.

17. I wonder what my boyfriend's doing? Gonna send him a text.

18. What page number did they just say?

19. I'm quite sure that what they're talking about has nothing to do with what's listed on the syllabus.

20. Syllabus is such a fun word to say. Syllabus. Syllabus. Syllabi!

21. Oh I just made eye contact with the professor. I gotta put my paying attention face on.

22. There is a huge smudge on the board...

23. I wonder if the person next to me is taking notes. Let's take a peek. Nope, no they're not.

24. A glass of wine sound's great right about now.

25. I wonder if they've put new movies on Netflix today. Definitely going to have to check that out later.

26. How late do I have to stay up tonight? Well that all depends on how quickly I can get my work done. Ugh.

27. What should I re-watch next: The Office or Grey's Anatomy?

28. Can I sneakily pull out Mr. Mercedes and read? Nah he'll notice that.

29. I need to pick up some water before heading by to my room. I'll just add that to my endless list of things I need to do.

30. I should probably be paying attention instead of making this list. What are they talking about now? Yeah that's not even relevant to this class. I'm good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
