37 Thoughts All College Students Have During Lecture
UCC Subaqua Club

As the semester goes on, classes get harder, days get shorter, and the stress levels increase. We long for the semester to be over or for break to come a little faster. As we sit through those long lectures, we think about anything and everything but the class we are in. We just go through the motions of sitting in class and taking notes. Not necessarily absorbing anything.

  1. When is class over?
  2. What should I eat for lunch?
  3. I wonder if *insert friends name here* is available to go to lunch?
  4. Chick-fil-a sounds so good right now.
  5. Why did I sign up for this class?
  6. Why is this a requirement for my major?
  7. That girl over there needs to stop asking questions.
  8. If she stops maybe we’ll get out early.
  9. *Looks at clock* only 2 minutes have past.
  10. Why?!
  11. Okay, when I get back to my room, I’m going to take a nap.
  12. Wait…I have a meeting after this. Okay, after my meeting I’ll take a nap.
  13. I really can’t wait for this nap.
  14. What time is it now?
  15. We’ve been in here for 5 minutes. OMG.
  16. I’m just going to surf the internet now to pass time
  17. I’m still paying attention…
  18. Maybe some online shopping will help
  19. What else do I have going on this week?
  20. Oh, the professor is looking, let me look like I’m paying attention.
  21. Okay, she moved on. Back to shopping.
  22. *phone vibrates* why does everyone contact me while I’m in class?
  23. Okay, we’re halfway through this chapter presentation, I really hope we get out early
  24. NO?! We’re starting the next chapter? Ugh.
  25. Ok, don’t fall asleep. Don’t fall asleep.
  26. Maybe partying last night wasn’t the best idea.
  27. Am I still drunk? Or just hungover?
  28. I really shouldn’t have come to class today.
  29. 40 minutes left? Okay, that’s just 20 minutes twice.
  30. 40 minutes is also just four 10 minute segments which is 5 minutes 10 times.
  31. I can do this.
  32. *sees cute classmate* since when are you in my class?
  33. Alright, group projects are coming up, maybe I’ll get lucky and they’ll be in my group.
  34. *checks time again* 5 more minutes!
  35. Bless Up!
  36. We’re done?! Thank Goodness!
  37. *Packs up books* Until next time…

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.

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.
