35 Thoughts Everyone Has On The First Day Of Classes
FosterEDU

First day of classes are always a good time. From running around the campus trying to figure out where your classes are to almost hyperventilating when you read the syllabus and wonder where you will find time to do all the work. At the end of the day though, you're basically back to the old routine and feel right at home on campus again. Here's all the thoughts that run through people's heads during the first day of class.

  1. Oh my god why did I do this to myself, 9 AMs are basically as bad as 8 AMs
  2. Must get out of bed, must look nice for first day of classes…
  3. Why is it so early?!
  4. Oops forgot to buy new notebooks
  5. Guess I’m using the second half of my old notebooks
  6. 30 minutes until class, get yourself together
  7. I have time for breakfast right?
  8. First meal in the dining hall and it’s already terrible
  9. Oh no, I only have 15 minutes until class starts!
  10. Where is this class anyways?
  11. If I leave the dining hall right now, I can make it with ten minutes to spare
  12. I’ve never had class in this room!
  13. It’s so crowded…
  14. There’s a free seat!
  15. No no no no no! Don’t sit there, I want to sit there!
  16. Ugh time to find another empty seat
  17. Found one! Just gotta climb over all these people now
  18. What happened to syllabus week? Did not plan on taking this many notes today
  19. Oh yay I have a writing assignment due the next time we meet!
  20. What am I supposed to do during the two-hour break I have?
  21. Should I just go to my room?
  22. The next class is literally on the other side of campus though…
  23. I guess I’ll just go to the dining hall again and watch Netflix
  24. Thank god I only have two classes today; I need to ease back into school
  25. Day one and I’m already exhausted
  26. I can’t believe I have to do this all over again tomorrow
  27. At least it’s a two day week, though
  28. Is it just me or did dining hall food get worse?
  29. OMG! There’s my friend! Haven’t seen her in forever!
  30. I wonder who else I’ll see today
  31. Group chat is lit when you’re on campus
  32. Can’t wait to be reunited with everyone at dinner
  33. One day back and it feels like I never left it in the first place
  34. It’s been an exhausting day…
  35. Can’t wait to crawl into bed and finally sleep

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
